Carnatic music tends to sound incompatible with R&B, jazz and the Blues. So, how did Sid Sriram get it all to blend so well?

Remember the fusion wave? When every song seemed to be a mix of genres cobbled together like a hasty, desperate Tinder date?

Sid Sriram’s family moved to the US in 1991. He was trained by his mother, Latha, who runs a music school in the Bay Area. (Instagram/@anilm24 via @sidsriram)

Sriram performed an all-original set at his Tiny Desk Concert debut. The intimate series, put together by the American media organisation NPR, is one of the internet’s most popular music events and has had Dua Lipa, Wu-Tang Clan and BTS perform. (Instagram/@sidsriram)

Sriram’s breakout year was 2016, when he sang Thalli Pogathey for Tamil film Achcham Yenbadhu Madamaiyada alongside AR Rahman. The song went viral, and Sriram began to spend more time in Chennai, and India, developing an independent relationship with his homeland. (Instagram/@seen_by_p via @sidsriram)
