Ranjitha Suresh is an accomplished Hindustani classical vocalist based in Melbourne, Australia. She is a senior disciple of Sri Koushik Aithal, Bangalore, and her musical journey began at the tender age of 4, nurtured by a family deeply rooted in music.
Ranjitha's formal training in Carnatic classical music commenced at the age of 6 under the tutelage of Vid. Asha Jagadish, who guided her through the completion of the Senior Grade. However, her deep passion for Hindustani classical music led her to further training under esteemed gurus, including Smt. Indrakshi Srivatsa, Smt. Meghana Kulkarni, and for the past 12years, under the mentorship of Sri Koushik Aithal. Her gayaki (vocal style) beautifully reflects the influences of the Kirana, Gwalior, and Patiala Gharanas.
In addition to her musical pursuits, Ranjitha holds a Master's degree in Commerce and has served as a lecturer for four years in her hometown, Bangalore.
Currently, Ranjitha serves as the Artistic Director of the Naadasonic Foundation, an academy dedicated to the preservation and promotion of Hindustani classical music. Through her teaching and performances, she remains committed to nurturing the next generation of musicians while fostering a deeper appreciation for this timeless art form.
