Overview
Music is a huge part of any event. Whether, it's a wedding, milestone birthday or a corporate launch, the music you choose for the occasion can have as big an impact as the food, venue and everything else that you take weeks, or even months, planning. My job is to keep the guests at your event swaying and singing along with me and taking to the dance floor to move to the timeless tunes they cannot resist celebrating. From Lionel Richie to Neil Diamond and Kishore Kumar, my cool retro hits will remain in your guests’ memory long after the night is over.

About
From Bollywood's Kishore Kumar to Brooklyn King Neil Diamond to Indonesia's Broery Marantika, Barani Krishnan covers it all. Sitting before a gramophone at the age of three to learn his first song, Barani has been a retro pop cover artist for the past three decades, performing in his native Malaysia before coming to the US. He accepts bookings across the Greater New York and Tri-State areas.
