A live voice instead of a playlist

A live singer changes the feel of a cocktail hour. Instead of a playlist, your guests arrive to a voice that responds to the room: unhurried and warm while they mingle, building gently as the evening approaches.

Sumukh blends Hindi and English favorites into seamless acoustic arrangements, and is happy to include ghazals, old classics and songs that mean something to your families.

Galas and evening receptions

The same refined touch suits galas, fundraisers and black-tie dinners. Sumukh can open the evening with an elegant set, then step into the spotlight with a headline performance when the room is ready for it.

Make it acoustic

For an especially elegant atmosphere, add live musicians. Tabla, keys and other instruments are always welcome and add a beautiful, organic layer to the set.
