SriKala is a short documentary created in partnership with Hive California, designed to capture the inspirations and intentions behind the beautiful music that SriKala creates.  We wanted to visually blend SriKala’s physical self and presence with his philosophies and knowledge, just as his music does.

Emcee, Singer, DJ, producer, and percus​sionis​t. In live perfor​mance, Srikala uses Ableton Live to perform his original music, improvising live with Indian percussion and ambient vocals. His projects incorporate dub, hip hop, reggae, world beats, and sacred mantras. His mission is to uplift, open hearts, and move bodies. The soul in his music is found not only in the rhythms, words and beats but in the energy and intention within them.
