City music platform to support indie musicians

Produced entirely in-house, each episode of Centre Stage was shot at locations around Chennai during the lockdown and will stream weekly across Circle of Love’s social media platforms. Speaking about Centre Stage, Sameer Sethi says, “Both audiences and artists connected to the indie music scene have been missing out on the performance experience this year, and we wanted to find a way to bring it to them. The artists are supported through this venture, which potentially widens their own reach, and the audiences get to enjoy their music safely, free of cost and from the comfort of their homes. Centre Stage is only the first of many initiatives and solutions that we have planned at Circle of Love for artists, venues and fans alike.”

The platform is also spearheaded by Manny, a renowned underground music expert and one of the most established DJs in India. “What we do at Circle of Love goes far beyond curating performances. We are committed to giving artists our engagement at every stage of the creation process, whether that’s building bridges across genres for collaborative work, facilitating workshops and residencies, producing videos and much more. We provide infrastructural support and creative, administrative and technical expertise from the ideation stage onwards,” Manny says.
