Two Track: Reeshabh Purohit and Shivaraj Natraj (Virtual Event)

Two Track is a music video series designed for Berklee’s YouTube and social media channels that features artists in an intimate setting with only one microphone and continuous camera takes. Each recording session will revolve around a single theme (i.e., connection, love, dreams) that can be expressed by the artist either through their track selection or through a short storytelling segment that will be recorded as part of the performance. The videos in this series will premiere at specific dates and times, but if you miss the premiere, each video will be public on the channel in continuity. 

Vocalist Reeshabh Purohit & beatboxer Shivaraj Natraj perform their unique compositions and traditional Indian pieces for this week's Two Track series.
