“Swarathma comes from Swar (note) and Athma (soul)” Jishnu Dasgupta
Formed in Mysore, Swarathma came into being when vocalist-songwriter Vasu Dixit met Abhinanth Kumar with the aim of creating original music. Joined by Pavan Kumar KJ on percussions and Arjun on the violin, they formed the original line-up. With Dixit’s exit in 2003 the band went on to take a two-year break, but regrouped in 2006 with Montry Manuel on drums.
