We are honored to welcome Gayathri Krishnan as the featured artist for the reawakening of Ciel Sessions at Ciel Creative Space in Berkeley, CA.

A Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter and producer, Gayathri seamlessly blends her South Indian Carnatic roots with contemporary R&B, soul, and ambient pop. Her music defies categorization, weaving together traditional and modern influences to create a sound that is both innovative and deeply personal.

From an early age, Gayathri was immersed in the rich traditions of Carnatic music and Bharatanatyam dance, thanks to her supportive parents who encouraged her artistic exploration. This foundation laid the groundwork for her unique musical journey, which later expanded to include choral singing and original songwriting during her school years.

Her debut EP, Create to Express (2020), amassed over six million streams independently, earning her features on Spotify playlists like “Fresh Finds R&B” and “Affirmations.” Her performances are immersive experiences, often incorporating elements of Bharatanatyam dance, reflecting her deep connection to her cultural heritage. Gayathri’s artistry is not just about sound—it’s about intention. She creates from a place of depth and purpose, using her voice and identity to craft work that resonates on both personal and universal levels. Her music speaks to our mission: to make space for story, soul, and the kind of connection that lingers long after the last note.

We’re proud to welcome local artist Julissa Leilani —one of the very first performers at Ciel Sessions—back to the stage to open the evening, bringing this moment full circle.
