Manoj Krishna live concert: a room filled to the walls.
The Manoj Krishna live concert sold 45 tickets for a 60-seat studio, and the room filled with the people behind the night. Inside one of the most intimate evenings of the Chai Kings Studio Indie Music Festival.
Built for listening, not for distance.
The Chai Kings Studio Indie Music Festival turns Aura Studios into a small, honest concert room, with independent artists on one side and people who came only to hear them on the other.
Presented by Chai Kings Studio and running from 19 September to 18 October, the line-up was curated by Girinandh C, a composer and the proprietor of Aura Studios. Manoj Krishna's set was one of its warmest nights.

We want people to hear the music, see the artist, feel the energy and be part of the room.

45 tickets. One packed room.
The Manoj Krishna live concert was joined by the people who made the night happen. Aura Studios was packed with additional guests including:
Who is Manoj Krishna, the singer behind the live concert?
A singer, songwriter and composer for Indian films, whose voice and music have travelled across languages and soundtracks.
His film credits span Tamil and Telugu hits, with songs also appearing in the Malayalam and Kannada versions of Jai Bhim. On stage at Aura Studios, that catalogue was stripped back to its essentials: voice, melody and a room close enough to hear every breath.
