Anitha Kamath Diminutive in size but not in voice, she forms part of a well known group of female singers for Shruti. A Banglorian by birth and by heart, her repertoire includes doing more than justice to well known Lata and Asha numbers. Loves music with a passion; mom to little Siddharth and baby Tanvi. |

Ashish Shanbhag Ashish, though new to Seattle and to Shruti, has been playing Tabla since he was 5. His love for music and experimenting with true to life sounds has made him venture out with other percussion instruments, his latest love being the Roland Handsonic which can play almost 500 different sounds. He is equally comfortable with other ethnic percussion instruments like the Dholak, Darbukka, Djembe, Pakhawaj etc. |

Chandrika
Shankarnarayan ('C') A mountaineering aficionado and an avid outdoors person, Chandrika is a classically trained musician and loves dabbling with all kinds of musical instruments. Also plays many small percussion instruments to spice up a song, if the need arises. When she is not doing music, you'll find her busy training for the next big challenge in physical fitness! Oh, and she is known to occasionally be victim of strange guitar accidents on stage during Shruti performances! |

Samuel Devasahayam Uncle Sam (born on the 4th of July, we kid you not) is Da Bass Dude and conductor for the group. This Chennai dude excels in slapping a bass riff out for the most complicated of songs, though he can also play a mean piano. Always heard murmuring in desi parties - "Mujhe hindi kucch bhi malum naheen hai!" |

Shriram Nanjundaiah Father to Paarth, Shriram is also completely at home with almost all the acoustic percussive instruments - Dholak, Tabla, triple, bongo. Water polo champ, hard core dancer (at least he thinks so), polyglot, this dude does it all...sometimes all at the same time! |
