JEREMIAH DE ROZARIO has just broken into the scene of home concerts, hosting his first ever in his living room. "I have always wanted to perform my music for an audience in the same space that I compose it," he says.

The 29-year-old Kochi-based banker turned musician set up his living room with dim lights, passed around ghee biscuits made by his sister during the set, and put up a small merchandise stall as well. "I circulated a Google document for people interested to attend, with a 'pay what you want' model, and after the entry of the first 30, we had to close off the list, as my living room would not hold so many people," he says.
