Partially sighted Singer/songwriter Kruttika talks about her debut EP release and message of strength to women in music.
Disabilities pull you back in life, that is a blatant truth, but you also possess the will to overpower the hurdles and make an example out of your life. Kruttika chose to not let her partially sighted vision stop her from being in the musical industry, and bringing the most soulful music to her audience. She is a fierce artist who does everything on her own! From writing, piano, creating, producing, singing, mixing, and even creating artwork, she is an unstoppable army.
Her love of writing inspires every woman to be a queen in this male-dominated world. She inspires by guiding them through the rough patch and distasteful ordeals that every female goes through. Music comes naturally for Kruttika, as she never brainstormed her brand but the ideas keep flowing like the waves of the ocean, and she is just the medium to join them to the source that is her audience. Her main genres of music include Jazz, Blues, R&B, and Soul music. You can witness her wonder in her newly released EP “Snow” and the upcoming video for “Twin Size Bed”.
Musical Extravaganza
Kruttika’s musical career started in Mumbai where she taught young talent as a music teacher in school, and also provided private lessons to help aspiring people hone their singing skills. In 2017, she further decided to polish her skills by studying in LA at Musician Institute in Hollywood. It was an exhilarating experience and brought much more sustenance to her sound. Through her determination, she got to play at prominent venues like The House of Blues, Lyd and Mo’s studio, The Dresden, Boardners, State Social, The Study, etc., as a solo artist and a keyboard accompanist for many artists.
Music That Motivates
The musician’s brand stands for 2 pillars of motivation and perseverance. Life can beat down hard on you, but the real power is tested when you rise even more courageous than before. She was 13 years old when she lost her partial eyesight, and anxiety and poignance kicked in her life. Her physical disability made it impossible to be enlisted in some of her dream alternatives and she then knew that sequestering just won’t cut it. One of her accomplishments is starting an Open mic event, which became the longest-running open mic in Mumbai dedicated only to music.
Her EP “Snow” is named after the first-ever song that she penned. Her songs do not follow that norm, and hence give her the edge among others. She follows the path of the heart and has used mystic minor pentatonic and 7ths, 9th and diminished chords in a very unconventional pop song progression in her EP. She has also added a touch of authenticity collaborating with her friends from India, Sheldon D’silva and Vinayak Pol. This Indo-western fusion sound with a hint of R&B music is sure to turn heads around. Listen to Kruttika’s music here.
