About
It’s not about fitting in.
It’s about creating a new space entirely.
Austin-based, Grammy-considered vocal powerhouse Adi Rao is redefining what it means to make music. Raised between worlds, Adi blends the aching soul of country storytelling with the intricate emotional depth of South Indian classical music—creating a sound that’s both wildly original and deeply human.
With a voice that can quiet a room one moment and set it ablaze the next, Adi carries generations of emotion through a modern, global lens.
His boldest project yet, Country Carnatic is a boundary-shattering fusion of Texas country and Carnatic classical traditions. Steel guitars drift beside raga-inspired vocal runs. Hand drums meet Telecasters. Themes of love, loss, resilience, and self-discovery set in moody, cinematic scapes.
A blend that isn't support to work but when you hear it, feels inevitable.
With over 50M+ streams and a Grammy consideration to his name, Adi stands among the most dynamic voices shaping modern music.
A multi-hyphenate artist—singer, songwriter, producer, and composer—Adi has worked with legends like A.R. Rahman, Billie Eilish, and Carlos Santana, and even performed for the President of the United States.
He’s collaborated with leading studios including Disney, Netflix, and Amazon Prime Video, lending his voice and compositions to films, TV, and global productions. You can hear his voice on movies like Pelé: Birth of a Legend and Pup Star: World Tour, and on television series such as Mira: Royal Detective.
He was most recently the composer for The Verdict (courtroom drama) and multiple documentaries for Virtual Bharat, and was the lead singer and vocal arranger for Rocketry: The Nambi Effect.
Beyond his solo work, he’s one half of the electronic duo BAHÉ, blending Indian classical roots with global dance sounds.
