Brighter Side of Sol

Shree is a versatile and innovative guitarist who blends the musical traditions of his homeland, Malaysia and South India, with the influences of Rock music and Psychedelic guitar legends like Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page, & Carlos Santana. Born and raised in Penang, Shree grew up listening to South Indian music and the everyday sounds of Malaysia. He also developed a passion for rock, blues, funk and house music growing up in Hawaii. These influences are heard through his original melodies, and rhythms on the guitar today. 

After moving to Hawaii, Shree joined the band Quadraphonix, a world music ensemble blending genres such as reggae, Latin, funk, and Indian classical music. Shree's signature psychedelic guitar style was integral to Quadraphonix's sound which has been heard at various venues and festivals across the US, Asia, and Europe on stages with renowned artists.

Shree is now pursuing his musical vision through Brighter Side of Sol, a Psychedelic band, creating unique groovy sounds representing his musical inspirations and culture.
