**Bengaluru, March 12, 2025** – Multi-lingual rapper Karthik Sundar Gubbi, known professionally as Gubbi, will perform at the upcoming RuPay Zomaland food and music festival in Bengaluru on March 15th and 16th.

Gubbi, a former mechanical engineer who traded numbers for rhythm, has been rapping since 2007. His extensive discography includes numerous singles and albums, as well as contributions to several Kannada and Tamil films.
