About Navya Nataraj
Nataraj embarked on her musical journey at the age of six. She has dedicated herself to mastering the art of the Tabla, an Indian percussion instrument. In 2019, she achieved a significant milestone by completing her Rangapravesam, a traditional debut performance.
In January 2023, she unveiled @TheTablaQueen, a musical project designed to bridge the gap between various music styles with the rich beats of the Tabla. Her fusion Tabla performances at events have left audiences captivated, making her a memorable figure. Navya’s dedication to pushing musical boundaries and her enchanting Tabla performances make her a true trailblazer.
About Tabla — the musical instrument
Tabla is the most famous percussion instrument of North India. It is most commonly used in North Indian classical music, but its versatility in all musical styles has enabled it to become the most popular percussion instrument in all of India. The level of sophistication and tonal beauty it possesses has elevated the instrument to an unmatched status in the world of percussion.
“As a female musician, I channel my passion and creativity into every beat, breaking through barriers/stereotypes to make my mark in the industry,” explains Nataraj. With each performance, I strive to inspire and empower others with the universal language of music.”

About Lucid Design District
Established in 2021 as a studio and exhibition space for founder Payal Tak’s personal artwork, Lucid Design District opened as an art gallery during Art Basel Miami 2022. The gallery is located on Miami Design District’s “art corner” (10-12 NE 41 St. at Miami Ave.) next to Museum Garage and across the street from the de la Cruz Collection and the Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami. The idea of Lucid Design District was born from Tak’s desire to connect with the community through collaborative art exchanges. Lucid Design District hosts group exhibitions, educational art talks, and artist networking events. The 3700-sf space is also an ideal environment for design-focused networking events and features a large reception or performance area; 8 curio-style ‘idea spaces’ for solo artist showcases or breakout sessions; a full-size kitchen; and 75’ long outdoor seating or parking area with lights; and a large wall for art installations.
