Sheela Bringi

Sheela Bringi is an Indian-American composer and multi-instrumentalist blending ancient devotional traditions with modern sonic exploration. Rooted in her South Indian heritage, she’s known for weaving hypnotic harmonium melodies, Sanskrit mantras, and the rare bamboo flute-like nadaswaram into ethereal soundscapes. Her work – including releases like *Shakti Sutra* and *Incantations* – often merges Hindustani classical rigor with ambient textures and subtle electronic flourishes. Based in Oakland, California, Bringi collaborates across genres while maintaining a focus on sacred music’s transformative power, creating what she calls "sound offerings for inner space." Her 2017 album *Incantations* specifically reimagined Vedic chants through contemporary production, showcasing her bridge-building between tradition and innovation.
