Best known for his signature baritone and transcendentalist poetry, Singer-Songwriter/Composer-Producer Avi Misra seamlessly blends classic rock sensibilities with electronica experimentations and Hindustani textures to make a sound that's all his own. His songs are vivid, thought provoking and surprisingly catchy and his production ethos is refreshingly organic with synths, guitars and finger drumming recorded live on record and vocals never autotuned.
Starting out as an acoustic balladeer in India's underground music scene more than a decade ago, Misra shared the stage with a motley crew of musos that headlined as Avi And The Uprising. His debut album 'Eyes On The Radio' was released in 2014 to critical acclaim and the band hit the road for a 3 city tour partnered with MTV Indies and Blue Frog.
Misra has since hit the Australian music scene with nationwide radio airplay and strong shows along the East Coast from The Tote to The Brisbane Powerhouse. He released a retrospective solo acoustic live CD 'New Delhi Blues' in 2018 and his folktronica concept album album 'Usha' with a six city India-Australia Tour in 2019.
He released his Melbourne themed darkwave album 'Sketches By The Birrarung' at The Tote in February 2020 right before the pandemic hit and has just launched his fifth album 'Nostalgia' - fashioned from iconic analog synths from the Melbourne Electronic Sound Studio Collection.
