RENOWNED artist Sid Sriram is set to make his return to Kuala Lumpur this November in support of his latest English album, Sidharth, which is his debut with Def Jam Recordings. The Sidharth World Tour is about to kick off, with Malaysia being one of the initial stops. This tour will span across Asia, North America, the UK and Europe, promising to be a musical journey of epic proportions.
Sriram’s previous performances, which include remarkable shows at iconic venues like Wembley Arena in London, The Roxy Theatre in Los Angeles, and a successful US tour alongside Bon Iver, have solidified his reputation for excellence. His recent sold-out concert at Axiata Arena was not only a brilliant spectacle but also a testament to Sriram’s extraordinary vocal talents.
Released in late August, Sidharth is a project that delves into personal identity, featuring Sriram’s emotionally charged vocals and experimental production that traverse various genres like R&B, indie rock and American pop. The album reflects Sriram’s upbringing as an immigrant in Fremont, CA, during the ‘90s and 2000s. What makes this album unique is that the vocals are primarily in English, marking a significant departure from Sriram’s previous work.
In 2021, during the year, Sriram embarked on a creative journey, flying to Minneapolis to collaborate with producer Ryan Olson, known for his work with Poliça, Gayngs, and Bon Iver. This intensive week in the studio resulted in most of the songs being recorded live by a small team, including the legendary Justin Vernon of Bon Iver, who has long inspired Sid. The recordings exude Sriram’s sincerity and passion, promising a live performance like no other.
