At 28, Mumbai-based Aditi Ramesh has found her niche in bringing forth the traditional sense of the term fusion music, long before it was maligned by outfits that cropped up over the last few years, claiming to have expertise in the genre by adding an odd sargam to a pop song or replacing a drumkit with the tabla, without understanding the instrument.

Ramesh, who is also a part of Voctronica (vocals) and women-only outfit Ladies Compartment (vocals and keys), is going to sing originals — showcasing her finesse in Carnatic music and her passion for jazz and hip-hop — at a gig tonight. Her compositions also aim at highlighting another important aspect, especially when it comes to millennials — to let go of stress and pressure. "I would like my music to make people slow down and enjoy the little things in life. A lot of the music I compose is directed towards that," says Ramesh.
