Hey everyone and welcome back to another episode of Modern Malayali!
In this episode, I sit down with Chris, a young Malayali singer who’s using TikTok and music to carry tradition forward in a whole new way.
Chris shares how faith, community, and family have shaped his journey, and how he’s finding fresh ways to keep his culture alive while chasing big dreams in music and mentoring. His story is a reminder that culture is always evolving, and that the next chapter is being written by the youth.
Join us for a warm, fun, and inspiring conversation about music, identity, and the many ways culture takes new shape through young voices.
Don't forget to follow Chris on TikTok (chriskuriakose08) and share this episode with friends who love discovering new musical talents.

About the Modern Malayali podcast:
Have you ever wondered how other Malayalis live their lives outside of Kerala?
I have. I've always been curious about how other Malayalis navigate their culture while living very modern, Western lives.
I’m talking about the influence our culture has had on the decisions and choices we've made — from choosing a career path to choosing a life partner, from how we talk about mental health to how we spend our free time.
This is a podcast where Malayalis from all over the world can connect and share stories. We’re all in this together, and I’m sure many of us have had similar experiences.
Hopefully, one of these episodes will inspire or reassure you that you're not alone in this.
