Roopa Mahadevan/Roopa in Flux

Hailed a “stirring voice” by the New York Times, Roopa Mahadevan is a leading second-generation Indian classical and crossover vocalist in the American diaspora, known for her powerful, emotive voice, versatility, and collaborative spirit. She leads the crossover ensemble Roopa in Flux, where she works with musicians in jazz, soul/R&B, and various global traditions, directs the innovative choir Navatman Music Collective, and sings for leading Bharatanatyam and modern dancers around the world.

Roopa brings a critical commentary, humor, and authenticity to her work. Her avatars are numerous: composer, choir director, comedian, teacher, facilitator, and more. Through it all, Roopa seeks to express joy, humility, and tradition as radical, and essential antidotes, to modern life.
