Samyukta is a performer-scholar, voice pedagogue, and Indian classical vocalist whose work integrates performance, pedagogy, and research. She holds a Master’s degree in Voice Pedagogy with distinction and is currently pursuing doctoral research in Music Education at University College London’s Institute of Education (UCL IoE). Her practice spans Indian classical vocal traditions, vocal acoustics, motor learning theory, and cross-training methodologies for singers.

A central focus of her work is the decolonisation of voice education. She critically examines how Eurocentric vocal norms have shaped dominant pedagogical models, often marginalising non-Western vocal systems, and offers culturally grounded, analytically rigorous alternatives that are accessible and transferable across genres. Her lecture-recitals and workshops combine live performance, empirical analysis, and pedagogical demonstration, allowing participants to engage both intellectually and practically.

Samyukta has delivered guest lectures, lecture-recitals, and professional development workshops at universities and conservatoires, including New York University, Tu Experiencia Broadway, and AOTOS. She has presented at international conferences such as PeVOC, VASTA, and ICVT and has been published in Voice and Speech Review, Australian Voice, and Music and Arts in Action. Alongside her academic work, she maintains an active performance and private teaching practice, supporting singers and educators in developing sustainable, research-informed, and culturally responsive vocal technique.
