Challenging the boundaries set by traditional schools of music, Oxygen, was formed in 2002 by five young, idealistic musicians.
Their vision was to push beyond the conventional sounds, and explore and experiment with different genres from India and around the world (such as Arabic, Carnatic, Funk, Hindustani, Indian folk, Irish, Jazz, Latin, Oriental, Synth, Symphonic and Rock). The result of such endeavours allowed them to flavour new sounds, and usher in a new age in music.
Spearheaded by Girinandh, this world fusion band have independently released five albums, of which had been produced and championed by none other than AR Rahman. Having performed over 3,000 live concerts, around the world,
Oxygen has collaborated with various artists like Padmabushan Umayalpuram K Sivaraman , Pt Janardhan Mitta , Padmashri Smt.Aruna Sairam , Keith peters and many more artists across india.
