About

Tabla is in my blood. I started learning at age 10, shaped by the Kirana Gharana tradition and deeply trained in the Ajrara Gharana style under Ustad Akram Khan. For me, tabla isn't just about playing fast or loud - it's about bringing clarity and emotion, whether I'm on a big stage or in a cozy room.

What I Offer

• Hindustani tabla solo performance: I love presenting rare old compositions and powerful solos that bring out the true spirit of the instrument.
• Tabla accompaniment for Indian classical vocals and instruments like sitar, sarangi, and flute. Jugalbandi (duet jams) are a personal favorite - the back-and-forth energy on stage is something else.
• Fusion tabla artist for live bands: As part of 'Mausiqaar', I've mixed tabla with western genres, Sufi, folk, jazz, and rock, and even toured with international artists. It's all about pushing boundaries without losing the soul.
• I perform at private and corporate events, house concerts, and special gatherings, always tuning the music to suit the vibe.

Why I Play

Main toh yahi manta hoon ki asli mazaa tab hai jab sam milta hai, jab rhythm aur audience ek ho jaate hain (Honestly, the real magic is when the rhythm and audience connect on that 'sam', that arrival point). I bring full respect and commitment to every show—never missed a gig, always chasing that soulful moment.
