Sarathy Korwar is a US-born, Indian-raised, London-based musician, composer, and producer whose eclectic body of work fuses the subtleties of Indian music with the framework of jazz and electronic music. Korwar's unique sound reflects his diverse journey: born in the US, growing up in Ahmedabad and Chennai in India before moving to London, England, where he honed his skills as a jazz drummer and percussionist. His artistry is characterized by a profound sensitivity to cultural exchange and a desire to bridge geographic and musical boundaries, often reflecting on themes of identity, belonging, and the post-colonial world.

Korwar’s discography is an alchemical mix of traditional Indian influences, innovative jazz improvisation, and cutting-edge electronic soundscapes. Notable recent releases include the reflective "KAL," released under the esteemed Real World label founded by Peter Gabriel, and "KALAK," an album that showcases Korwar's prowess in blending intricate rhythms with melodic structures to create sounds that are at once familiar and daringly new. Additionally, with tracks like "Remember to Look Out for the Signs" and "Utopia Is A Colonial Project," Sarathy Korwar extends his musical expression to encapsulate his socio-political commentary, firmly establishing himself as an artist with a resonating voice beyond his music. Through projects such as the "Night Dreamer Direct-To-Disc Sessions," he further affirms his commitment to the authenticity and spontaneity that are often the hallmarks of jazz, while albums like "More Arriving" draw on the lived experiences of the South Asian diaspora in contemporary Britain. Sarathy Korwar continues to build a growing reputation as a visionary in the world of global fusion music.
