Nukshi — Guitar · Bass · Piano · Drums
Multi-InstrumentalistDimapur

Nukshi

Guitar · Bass · Piano · Drums

Nukshi moves across four instruments — guitar, bass, piano and drums — with more than twenty years of practice behind them, so nothing on that list is a stretch. Based in Dimapur, the playing shifts easily between acoustic and classical, jazz and soul, gospel and pop, always with an ear for the Naga Fusion that keeps the music unmistakably local. Underneath the versatility is a simple motivation: a genuine love of conversation about music — with the band, with a crowd, with anyone who wants to sit down and talk song.

VocalistKohima

Vilakhonuo Keditsu

Vocals · Singer-Songwriter

Ten years and counting into a craft built on one thing — writing songs people can connect with. Vilakhonuo is a singer and songwriter based in Kohima, penning material about love, life and the experiences that shape both, then delivering it with nothing but a voice and a well-placed lyric. It is music that leaves room for the listener to find themselves in it.
