The name Karunesh comes from the Sanskrit word for compassion.

"I want to go beyond the boundaries of different civilizations and barriers by combining a variety of music styles in fluent compositions. Music is the only language that everybody understands; within all cultures, religions and beliefs. Rhythm is food for the body, melodies for the heart and atmospheres for the soul. My music will touch the listener on all three levels." ~ Karunesh
