Artist | Music Educator | Singer-Songwriter | Pianist | Producer
Kruttika is a Mumbai-born artist and music educator whose work lives at the intersection of soul, surrealism, and sound. Drawing inspiration from the drama of Broadway, the elegance of jazz and blues, and piano-driven pop icons like Alicia Keys, Carole King, and Adele, her music is both cinematic and cathartic—inviting listeners to feel, reflect, and dream.
As a performer, she has lived and created in cultural hubs around the world—from Mumbai and London to Los Angeles and Dubai. Her original music, including her debut EP Snow and single In My Dreams, blends blues-inspired vocals with expressive pop arrangements, echoing a journey shaped by travel, transformation, and storytelling.
Alongside her artistic career, Kruttika is an experienced and passionate music educator with over a decade of teaching voice, piano, and music theory. Her teaching philosophy is rooted in creativity, inclusivity, and student-centered learning. She blends classical techniques with contemporary approaches to help learners grow in both skill and confidence.
She has taught at international schools across India and the UAE, including GEMS Education in Dubai, where she led choirs, group lessons, and personalized instruction for students of all levels.
Her dual identity as an artist and educator continually informs her work—allowing her to inspire through performance and guide through teaching.
Kruttika’s original work explores themes that make you think, feel, and dream — offering a cathartic experience through thoughtful lyrics and soulful arrangements. Her debut EP "Snow" and single "In My Dreams" are self-written, composed, and co-produced across studios in Mumbai, London and Los Angeles.

"Echoes from the Press"
"Mumbai-bred and Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter Kruttika Sequeira’s five-track debut EP Snow is a beautiful mix of jazz, R&B and soul music. The record’s opener and title track immediately catches your attention with its slick arrangement before you’re drawn in even further with the exquisite “Red Flags” and the piano-aided “Your Time Will Come To Shine.” Sequeira shakes things up with the sizzling “Twin Size Bed” before closing with the emotive “Table For Two.” Overall, Sequeira’s vocals stand out throughout the record while the instrumentation over it is an added bonus."

My favorite newspaper to read as a child was the MID-DAY. My dad would buy it in the afternoons on his way home from work and i would eagerly look forward to the wonderful articles. I had hoped to someday see my own face in those pages, and today my dream came true. I got to talk with the talented @thecellardoornet who featured my story in this mondays paper.Baby steps to bigger dreams.Thanks @middayindia you guys rock!#dreambig #mumbaitolosangeles #musician #songwriter #dontstop #mydisabilityismyability
"“Twin Size Bed” by Kruttika is an enticing jazz-pop breakup jam with an infectious hook, irresistible to sing along to after a few listens. Kruttika’s soulful voice expresses the bitterness that comes with fresh heartbreak, and fuels each chorus."
