Introducing Kaarthika
Born and raised in East London, Kaarthika (@ennavale_) is a vocalist with musically diverse influences. From the age of 3, she immersed herself in Carnatic vocal classes, her parents jokingly claiming that she sang before she spoke. Drawing inspiration from Gospel to R&B and a diverse array of artists, including Jazmine Sullivan and H.E.R., Kaarthika infuses her music with a blend of tradition and contemporary flair.
During the pandemic, Kaarthika’s impulse to start anew led her to create a public profile on Instagram where she shared covers and connected with fellow artists. She has collaborated with artists like Sujan, contributing to his song “Oru Murai.” Among her online covers, her rendition of “Mun Paniya” stands out, showcasing her affinity for emotive and raw melodies that resonate with her soulful voice.
