Krishnamurthy or Kishmu is one of the most admired keyboardists in the Bay Area. He took an interest to playing keyboards while in college, playing cover versions of Rock. On arriving in the Bay area for work, he got to know members of bands through friends and since then he has been actively performing for Thillana, Pallavi, Ragalaya, Kansas Raja group and many more. While workng for bands, he transcribes notes and chords to songs and helps musicians stay coordinated. His talent, knowledge and team spirit have earned him a special place among bands both within and outside Bay Area.

Kishmu is passionate about Piano and hopes to play like a 10 year old kid someday (though Aavakaiites tell him often that he does play as passionately as one). His other interests include collecting keyboards and synths, gardening, eating and sleeping. Grrrrrr.

Called as Mods by the team, for his ability to do different voice modulations, Narayana enjoys singing in any genre from Carnatic to Rock. He has performed in All India Radio (AIR) as a child artist and won several competitions in India. In US, he was selected for the 'Paaduta Teeyaga-USA' program conducted by Dr. S.P.Balasubramanyam during the ATA 2000 convention and has performed in a few music albums so far.

Narayana is currently learning classical music from Smt. Jayashree Varadarajan. An ardent fan of Ilayaraja's music, he loves everything about music - singing, playing, composing and mixing. He plays the keyboard and is currently learning guitar. He also does sound-engineering for cultural shows as a hobby.

Apart from music, Narayana enjoys playing and watching sports.
