Isaivani

Isaivani is a dynamic Tamil folk singer and composer carrying forward the raw energy of Gaana music traditions while giving them a contemporary twist. Hailing from Chennai's working-class communities, she comes from a family of Gaana performers and grew up immersed in this street-born musical style. As lead vocalist of the groundbreaking band The Casteless Collective, she helped fuse Tamil folk rhythms with rock and hip-hop elements to create socially charged anthems addressing caste discrimination and inequality.

Her recent solo work continues this mission through punchy Gaana-kuthu hybrids like "Chennaiya Suttiparu" and "Local Kuthu," blending traditional percussion with modern production. Collaborating with artists like Arivu and Dhee, she's become a key voice in Tamil Nadu's cultural resistance movements. Her lyrics often celebrate working-class pride while critiquing social hierarchies, delivered with her signature fiery vocals and magnetic stage presence. Though rooted in Chennai's streets, her music has found global audiences through platforms like Spotify and YouTube.
