Sid Sriram mixes carnatic music with soul

The World

Sid Sriram wanted to make it big in the American music industry, so when he got an opportunity to live and work in India as a singer for hit films, he wasn’t sure he would take it. For The World’s regular series Movement about music and migration, Meklit Hadero talks with Sriram about his breakout album Sidharth, playing Coachella, and how he needed that time in India to find his way in the US.
