      He has been breaking ground in every region around the world. These are some of his songs from India, you should give these a try. Enai Noki Paayum Thota (this is in Tamil) and UYIRE Sid Sriram (this is in Malayalam). I truly believe music transcends language.

    My mother recently passed. She had a deep profound love for music. She would feel music and dance in ways I haven't seen in other people. She loved culture and and music influenced by different cultures. She would have loved this music so much and I never knew the thought of never being able to show her music I've found again in my life would hurt this way.
    But the music also helps heal me and remind me of that relationship I had with music and her. So thank you. This is profoundly beautiful and you are so talented.

    Someone told us, in Spotify India, the highest streamed Indian artist in entire 2022 was Sid Sriram! This tinydesk concert shows why! Sid is incredibly versatile.
    Even though Sid is huge in South India, recently he sang at Sawai Gandharv festival, the biggest Hindustani (North Indian) classical concert festival in India. That is actually incredible.
    His music transcends languages, borders, cultures ... a true world artist.

The guitar is impeccable, the drums are so subtly placed yet add so much - it's crazy. I hope you never stop expressing yourself and making and extending the novel genre of music you brought to the Tiny Desk. You're operating on the edge of human creativity, pushing its frontiers, and I am so grateful you are going there.

    There is some form beauty in the subtle art of containing all the sounds/instruments so beautifully, when each and every one of them knows very well that it will take less than a second for them to explode sonically.
    Finally, the magical man, Sid Sriram. No words. Always been a fan and forever will be. Hats off sir.

    I went to Berklee 10+ years ago when he was there and knew him as an acquaintance through friends. However, it was evident even then how incredible of a talent he was back then and was always the talk of the school. I'm not surprised at all that he's even better since then and that he's on NPR. Easily one of the best voices out there, hands down.
