our story

Formed in during the pandemic of 2020 by Grammy nominated producer Nikhil Suresh - Grihastha is a culmination of Nikhil's musical influence and life experience. Having lived in over 10+ countries and visited quite a few more, the musical influence for this project range from Heavy Metal to Hollywood musicals -- from blues to Bollywood and everything in between. Inspired by the energy and aggression of bands such as Metallica, Linking Park, Machine Head, Slipknot--but also the polished touch of artists such as Ariana Grande, Backstreet Boys, Britney Spears -- then the groove of artists such as Stevie Wonder, Earth Wind and Fire, and finally the exoticness or artists such as Lucky Ali, Tarkan, Ligabue and other international artists --Nikhil tries to incorporate something from all these influences into his own music and fuses themes from writers such as Alan Watts, J Krishnamurti, Swami Vivekananda and others into the lyrics of the songs. This unique fusion is what is presented to the listener as "Grihastha."

Grihastha has a revolving door of members, and artists such as Lorenzo Meynardi (Fire Tiger, Thunderpetz), Ricky Bonazza (Butcher Babies, Five Finger Death Punch), Takuya Yada (Black Despair), Lucky Sharma (Seishin), Alessandro Medri (Figure Of Six) and others have appeared on various songs.

Grihastha/Nikhil is not on any social media platforms (except a Facebook page that is never updated) and does not have an instagram page.
