About Sridhar

Heya!

I’m Sridhar, and I’m from Chennai, India. I once moved to Singapore but then I moved again, and now live in Berlin.

I play guitar, write songs and produce music. During the day, I work for a cool company called SoundCloud.

If you’d like to read about me in third person (for whatever reason), continue reading below ;)



Sridharan Ravichandran is a Singapore based guitarist, composer, vocalist, multi-instrumentalist and record producer. He is currently the frontman for rock band Sage. The debut release of Sage, slated for release in fall 2011, written and co-produced by Sridhar, will showcase a raw modern edge of Sridhar’s writing and feature guest appearances by very accomplished rock musicians.

Sridhar launched his debut solo album in the summer of 2009. Titled Transcend, the 9-track rock instrumental debuted at #35 on CDbaby.com’s charts and subsequently went on to recieve critical acclaim from across the globe.

His sophomore record Afterward, and the follow up to Transcend, was launched in the summer of 2010 and serves as a tribute to the multitude of influences in Sridhar’s musical journey, inspired by sounds from heavy metal to electronically synthesized soundscapes.

    Dear Sridhar,

    Your music is really inspiring.
    My name is Biju and I’m from Cochin. Even though I started as Musician (Started a band called “The Crest” in the year 1991 in Cochin – anyway that’s history which continued for 5 years) now I’m into the desperate way of harsh life. Dream is always remained as a dream which will be fulfilled in a later stage. Any way I’m working in Dubai, UAE and doing some photography works (please see my “Biju Thomas PhotoWorks” profile in facebook if you would like to see my collection you) and if you performing in UAE please let me know so that I can cover you the entire show with some good snaps (I hope), thanks, Biju
