Sheetal Patwardhan
Sriram Koppikar
I have been deeply immersed in music since my teenage years, performing extensively both on stage and in the studio. Over the years, I have had the privilege of sharing the stage with renowned artists like Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy and Sadhana Sargam. While singing is my primary passion, I have also explored various aspects of stage performance, including acting, emceeing, choreography, and dance. In addition to my performance experience, I have been learning Hindustani Classical vocals and light music from several esteemed teachers over the years, further strengthening my musical foundation. Currently, I perform with several bands in Seattle and also present solo singing programs, both as professional engagements and pro bono performances. I also actively share my musical journey through my YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram channels, where I regularly post my songs and videos of my performances, engaging with a wide audience. With my extensive experience in live and recorded music, combined with my classical training and digital outreach, I have developed a strong understanding of musical performances, audience engagement, and program curation. As Co-Chair of the North American Music Programming Team for BMM 2026, I aim to bring this expertise to curate a compelling lineup of high-quality musical performances that will captivate and inspire our diverse audience.
