Core voices and featured guests of Bandish Beatz.
Sanjai Chetan
Lead Vocalist · Singer · Songwriter · Composer · Vocal Coach · DJ
Sanjai Chetan is a Hindi singer-songwriter, poet, and studio producer based in Raleigh. An engineer by training (IIT), he later built a career in technology leadership — and that quiet discipline shows up in how he writes, produces, and reads a room, whether singing or guiding a Bollywood DJ set. His music leans into emotion, storytelling, love, hope, and introspection. He has collaborated with Bollywood producer Varun Grover, published a Hindi poetry collection in 2019, and is the founder of Eastvibe Studios in RTP — a creative space that has supported more than 1,200 projects and Grammy-winning artists — and of VocalMastery.art, a vocal coaching platform for aspiring and advancing singers. Live, listeners often call him the “Voice of Rafi” or “Voice of Kishore” — a nod to phrasing and color.
Padma Prathik
Lead Vocalist · Singer | Classical Singing Trainer
Padma Prathik is a highly trained vocalist with a Master’s in Indian classical vocal music and a classical singing trainer in the RTP area, including through VocalMastery.art. She brings deep grounding in technique, expression, and tradition to every performance — from prestigious stages in India and the U.S. to film recordings and collaborations with Indian music directors. Multilingual in Hindi, Telugu, and Tamil, her warmth and poise give Bollywood melodies and bhajans a graceful, intimate quality. Listeners often remark on her resemblance to the gentle, expressive character of Lata ji’s singing.
