Ankith Kandlakunta

Ankith Kandlakunta is a rising Telugu music creator blending the warmth of tradition with the pulse of modern production. At just 17, he’s already shaping a signature style where classical textures, folk‑inspired melodies, and Western synth programming collide in unexpected ways. Drawing inspiration from trailblazers like Anirudh Ravichander and Thaman S, Ankith builds soundscapes that are energetic yet emotional, cinematic yet intimate. His tracks often center around bold synth lines, layered rhythms, and a fusion approach that reflects both his cultural roots and his love for global music. What started as curiosity quickly became a craft—experimenting with digital production, learning the language of synths, and pushing himself to merge genres without losing the soul of Telugu music. Ankith’s work captures the voice of a new generation: young, experimental, and unafraid to mix worlds to create something fresh.
