Before England’s match against Pakistan, Janaki Easwar and the Australian rock band Icehouse will perform at the MCG. She broke the record for being the youngest participant ever on the Australian version of the singing competition “The Voice.”
Despite the fact that India was eliminated in the semifinals, the T20 World Cup final that will be played at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) on Sunday will have a distinct Indian flavour.
Janaki Easwar, a 13-year-old girl of Indian descent, will sing alongside the Australian rock band Icehouse in front of more than 90,000 spectators before Pakistan takes on England.
Anoop Divakaran and Divya Raveendran, who are Janaki’s parents, are originally from Kozhikode in the state of Kerala, but they have been residing in Australia for the past 15 years.
The year before last, she made history by becoming the youngest competitor ever on The Voice Australia, a music reality show that is watched by a lot of people. Janaki expressed her excitement to indianexpress.com and said that she was looking forward to performing in front of a sold-out crowd at the MCG.
“Playing in front of a big crowd at the MCG and having the performance broadcast to millions of people across the world would be an incredible opportunity.” My folks are enthusiastic cricket lovers.
The significance of this chance was not brought to my attention until I spoke with them. I was told that there are no more tickets available for purchase. Both the performance and the game are exciting for me to anticipate. However, it would have been more enjoyable if India had competed in the final,” remarked Janaki.
Janaki has given performances at a variety of events since making her debut on television, including the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne and India Fashion Week Australia.
The traditional south Indian attire that Janaki wore during her performance on The Voice Australia caught the attention of the show’s viewers. The International Cricket Council had the goal of creating an entertainment piece that brought together people of different generations and cultures, and the teenager fit the bill perfectly.
“I believe the way I represented my culture on national television also helped as the performance at the World Cup final is going to be a great representation of multicultural Australia,” said Janaki, who will perform ‘We Can Get Together’ with Zimbabwean-born Australian Thndo Sikwila and Icehouse’s lead singer Iva Davies at the MCG for the World Cup final. Thndo Sikwila and Iva Davies will perform at the World Cup final.
Janaki Easwar was given her first taste of Carnatic music when she was just six years old. She comes from a family of musicians. “Both of my grandfather’s brothers can sing very well. Arun Gopan, Dad’s younger brother, is a well-known singer in the industry.
K. V. Sivadas is a talented vocalist, composer, and music educator. He is Dad’s uncle. My mother is also a big fan of music, and when I was a kid, she used to sing me lullabies every night before I went to sleep. Therefore, it was only natural that they desired for there to be music in both of our lives.
Janaki has been attending the Kalakruthi School of Music, which was established by the renowned musician Shobha Shekhar, who was awarded the Order of Australia. Janaki has been studying Carnatic music. “Classical music is more difficult for me to understand, and it is something that demands a great deal of practise to master.
The complexity of the situation are carefully managed by Shobha auntie, who we affectionately refer to as Shobha auntie. When it comes to instructing individuals in various age brackets and cultural backgrounds in a classical art form, she is well-versed in how to do so due to the fact that she is a professor of classical music at several universities in Australia.
