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.
