Krishnan Unni - Iam a Circuit Design Engineer (VLSI), based at Bangalore. Circuit Design is my profession, and music is my obsession. Being a passionate flautist, I have been learning Karnatic flute under the guidance of Shri Ashwini Varaghur for almost two years. According to me, a song should always endeavour to paint a vibrant picture in the listener’s mind. The lyrics should define the outlines and the music should fill in the colours. The vocals and instruments should bring in the nuances which give life to the idea behind the song. The song Athmavil is the outcome of an earnest attempt at this concept. The lyrics and music were lingering in my mind for a long time and my talented friends Arun and Rashmi made it come alive with their mellifluous voices. Iam grateful to Blogswara for giving me this chance, to God and my Mother for everything I have, and to my friends for inspiring me.
Arun G S - Arun G S, who hails from Trivandrum, Kerala, is a Software Engineer who has immense passion towards music. Arun has moved to Bangalore 2 and a half years back, as per the demand of his job!

He has sung for several Music Directors such as Saikat-Shankar, Manikanth Kadri, Sibu Noyz, Vineeth Menon etc and several albums like Off Beats, Snow White, Blogswara V5, to name a few. He himself is a Music Composer and a Music Programmer too. He has released a Kannada Music Album on his own named "Besuge - the bonding". According to him, “Music is the best way to express yourself, the best healer of all your emotional bruises and the best way to attain the Eternal Bliss”.

About Me: Music has always been my passion in life. I started learning Carnatic music at the age of seven. Whatever little knowledge I have about music, I owe it to my gurus – Kalyani Menon and Suguna Varadachari. During my college days, I came across various genres of music. I enjoy listening to everything from upbeat Punjabi music to Ghazals and Sufi music. Not so long ago, I was introduced to the audio blogging world by my friend, Joseph Thomas (Jo). Blogging has not only given me an opportunity to pursue my passion, but also a chance to make some wonderful friends.
