Tanupriya Somesh

Tanupriya Somesh is an independent composer duo consisting of Tanupriya Shakya and Somesh Bhadula. Both are composers, with Tanupriya also being the duo’s vocalist, while Somesh focuses on lyrics and production. Together, they create honest, acoustic-led music that blends organic sounds with emotive arrangements and a raw, timeless sensibility.

Their debut EP, Mann Chale, explores themes of love, longing, relationships, and introspection through intimate songwriting and melodic arrangements. Their music is rooted in the idea of keeping the song and its emotion at the centre of the listening experience.

For Depot48, the proposed performance will be a solo set by Tanupriya Shakya, featuring songs from Mann Chale, selected unreleased originals, and a few carefully chosen covers. The set is particularly suited to Depot48’s intimate live environment, where original, acoustic-led music can connect directly with the audience.

Depot48’s focus on independent and original music makes the venue especially relevant to this performance. The intention is to create an intimate, song-focused evening rather than a conventional stage show, giving the audience an opportunity to experience Tanupriya Somesh's music and compositions in a more personal live setting.
