After working, touring and performing with multiple projects ranging from folk to classical, I decided to take a break from performing and other music related work during mid 2012. I spent most of that time doing nothing and sometimes regrouping and reflecting on all the work that I’ve done previously. I had quite a lot of questions, but no answers, so I waited. The answer came to me not too late, in September 2013 in the form of a project- OneBeat. On paper it was month-long music residency in the US. But for me, it was definitely much more than that, more like a way of living.

The time I spent at OneBeat changed the way I approached materailising my ideas and re-infused my faith on a lot of things. It gave me fresh air and some new connections that inspired me to start putting down all the ideas that have been wandering in my head that became Darbuka Siva bro’ject.
