seated herself on the stage gracefully to begin her performance at

Houz of Blues

. The brand of music this artiste plays is anything but common. As she alternatively played covers and her own compositions, the music-enthusiasts in the house lost themselves in the tracks, the references and that subtle bit of Geetu that was added to even classic songs like

Depeche Mode

’s Enjoy the Silence and Nancy Sinatra’s These Boots Are Made For Walking.The solo musician’s original compositions were accompanied by backing tracks high on instrumentation. She was keen on having the right sound for each track, and was in no mood to entertain any disturbances. “I don’t mind playing to an audience of three,” said the artiste chiding someone in the crowd who was talking loudly. Evidently, she wasn’t here to please as much as she was here to play good music. As much as her music and her spirit came as a refreshing surprise to Hyderabad, the spunky musician was surprised too. “I never played my music to a male majority audience like this before,” quipped Geetu.
