OUR FEATURES

SONG LEADER

Steve Chandy began his journey into songwriting and musicianship as a way to process trauma, mental health, and the world around him. His artistic path started as a street busker in Philadelphia, where he collaborated with organizations to provide music education in communities that had lost their school music programs. Chandy relocated to Boston 9 years ago, and has had the opportunity to perform solo as well as with his band Kapatid Kud. You might also often see him at local protests, with a drum or guitar in hand. Chandy is committed to making music education accessible to all ages, using it as a medium for self-expression, personal storytelling, and social justice advocacy. 

Why this project ? 

He believes in the power of music as a tool for resistance and community building.

Grateful to be able to play the same bill as @kapatidkud. I met them at this historical theater venue a year and a half ago, and have been a huge fan since. You absolutely do not want to miss out on experiencing their music and passion.

We may not always find ourselves in the same place at the same time with those we love but the threads of connection transcend borders and distance. Here’s a heartwarming throwback to our featured performance as a newly formed band with @acousticagney @barefootchandy & @jirehcalo at last year’s Diwali celebration at the Museum of Fine Arts  @mfaboston , beautifully curated by @subdriftboston ✨ Big hugs to our dear Agney in India. You are sorely missed.

Show last Saturday at Huntington Theatre’s Maso Studio✨

Highlights of the night: 

1.) A whole squad of our friends and family turning up. It’s always a joy to see faces of our loved ones among the crowd. 

2.) Playing several rounds of Boggle in the green room. We take our word games pretty seriously.

3.) The heartfelt performances of @rijahmusic and @simondavis.music (check’em out!)

4.) Getting the audience to sing a round with us on our last song. We love an audience choir! 

Thank you to @sofarboston for having us and to their amazing the team who made it run so smoothly: Anna, Jeff (sound), Destiny (mc) @thedestiny.cree 

Thank you, friends, for capturing!

“Tell us your story and we’ll write a song!”🎵

This week, we took our music to the streets. There’s so many stories whirling all around us, inspiration for a songs everywhere. Busking out in the city can be a challenge but when you’re doing it with friends, well, it’s just way more fun and that energy gets shared out into the world. 

We love what we do and are grateful to be able to share what we create in the different spaces we take part in, and that includes public spaces. 

Thank you to the strangers and friends who stopped by, danced, honked, gave a kind word, and shared their stories. 

You’ll be seeing more of us, Boston!
