Shree Sadagopan
Lead Vocals and Guitar
Shree is a versatile and innovative guitarist who fuses the musical traditions of his homeland, Malaysia, with the diverse influences of his adopted home, Hawai’i. Born and raised in Penang, Shree grew up listening to South Indian music, which is reflected in his use of complex rhythms and melodies. He also developed a passion for rock, blues, jazz, and funk music, especially the guitar work of Carlos Santana, Andy Summers, and Ravi Shankar. After moving to Hawaii, Shree joined the band Quadraphonix, a world music ensemble that blends genres such as reggae, Latin, funk, and Indian classical music. Shree became an integral part of the band’s sound, adding his signature psychedelic guitar style that involves picking, strumming, and bowing the strings. He also contributed to the band’s songwriting and production. After performing at various venues and festivals across the US, Asia, and Europe, and sharing the stage with renowned artists, Shreeis now pursuing his own musical vision through the band, Brighter Side of Sol, a fusion band that showcases original songs as well as covers, creating a unique sound that appeals to a wide audience.
Shree is not only a talented musician but also a hardworking professional who has balanced his musical career with his work in the visitor and tourism industry for nineteen years. He has worked as a tour guide, a concierge, and a sales manager for various hotels and resorts across Hawai’i. He has also used his networking skills to create opportunities for himself and other musicians in the local scene. Shree is a passionate and creative artist who strives to share his music and culture with the world.
