KWJ Music
An endless passion for music, for voices, for musicians,
for people, for life.
ABOUT
KWJ Music was founded by Jayan Gopinathan in 2013 as a means of pursuing his passion; Carnatic music, the classical music originating from South India.
Jayan grew up in Australia, where there was very little exposure to Carnatic music. After deciding to pursue a career in Carnatic music, Jayan decided to create an organisation in order to help the cause. The name ‘KWJ Music’ denotes Jayan’s ancestral home; ‘Karimpuzha Warriem’, a place in Palakkad, India.
KWJ Music is a registered non-profit organisation in Australia. The major activity of the organisation is presenting concerts and music festivals in various places in Australia, India and worldwide. While KWJ Music focuses mainly on Carnatic music, some events will involve collaboration with many other musical styles. This will help to bring further integration of Carnatic music into the world music scene, while also providing more opportunities for all types of musicians.
KWJ Music offers music teaching and music therapy consultation with top professionals in the field.
