Viveick is a musician and composer, straddling both worlds with equal ease. Trained under the Carnatic tradition on the majestic percussive instruments mridangam and kanjira, Viveick uses his classical roots to compose music that moves between many styles. His music is stamped with this unique sound, reflecting his influences from electronic, drum-n-bass to jazz and folk.
His ability and determined diligence to retain the unique flavour of Indian music while seamlessly integrating it into his collaborations and performance, is unmatched among many other musicians of his time.

His work has won him several awards, from the Most Mind Blowing Music Video Award at AVIMA in 2009 for ‘Snake in the City’, to Best Folk Fusion Artist Award at the Radio City – Freedom Radio Awards in 2013 for his single ‘Quest’.

Over nearly 2 decades as performer and composer, Viveick has toured and collaborated with musicians from all over the world.

In 2009, he was invited to perform at the prestigious, Les Suds a Arles in France for a special showcase with his band. His collaborations have spanned musicians of many generations, from Richard Bona with whom he performed and recorded on the album Ten Shades of Blue, SHRI and Bauchklang on the album Live in Mumbai, to younger generation artists such as, the UK beat boxing phenomenon Shlomo and Bulgarian folk artist Djaima.

Among these was, In Place of War, a special project by University of Manchester that saw him collaborating with artists from Africa (Joel Sebunjo), Nepal (Kiran Nepali), Brazil (Os Nelsons) and British artists John McClure, Louis Barabbas and Hey Moonshaker.
