Alluri Music

Redd Alluri hails from Hyderabad, the capital of Telangana state in Southern India. He is currently based in London and recorded his debut album ‘Man Of Truth’ at Brighton’s Electric Studios. His hometown, like much of India had little or no contemporary music scene around his formative years and it wasn’t until his older brother returned from university that Redd first heard western rock music. From Deep Purple’s ‘Smoke on the Water’ to Guns N’ Roses his teenage years were littered with the bigger rock acts that managed to squeeze through the country’s obsession with cinema and the regional version of Bollywood known as ‘Tollywood’. With some stars aligned Redd’s interest in British comedy The Office led him to Ricky Gervais’s XFM Podcasts and the revelatory sounds of The Smiths, Joy Division, Radiohead and Nick Cave.
