NPR Music's Tiny Desk concert series is showcasing Asian American and Pacific Islander artists in celebration of the heritage month. Sid Sriram and his band took a departure from their usual loud performances to deliver a special acoustic set for the occasion. The unique setting allowed for a focus on subtleties and inspired new vocal ideas for the group.

Sid Sriram, an Indian Carnatic musician, music producer, and R&B songwriter, has made a name for himself in the music industry across various languages including Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Hindi, Marathi, and English. Collaborating frequently with his sister Pallavi Sriram, a Bharatanatyam dancer, and other music directors, Sid's musical style blends traditional Indian roots with contemporary R&B influences.

The concert highlighted the band's versatility and skill in adapting their sound to a more intimate acoustic setting. Notable songs and moments included the band experimenting with different arrangements and finding unique ways to mesh their sounds in a quieter environment. This showcase at the Tiny Desk underscores the rich cultural diversity present within the Asian American and Pacific Islander community and the ability of artists like Sid Sriram to transcend musical boundaries with their unique blend of influences.
