My Story
Never thought I'd write this much, but that last trip hit different. Grew up in a middle-class home, holidays were like, out of syllabus. Used to dream of just chilling somewhere, no tabla, no worries. Life got busy, dreams took a backseat, only work and gigs. Thanks to one special person, I finally paused, took a breath. Now, when I'm not drumming, I'm a proud dog dad—sometimes trying (and failing!) to play Dhaak at Durga Pujo. Pujo vibe is unbeatable, maa kasam (I swear)!
My Work
Tabla Performance & Education - I play tabla for concerts, recordings, solo gigs, and teach—love passing on my Farukhabad Gharana style.
Rooted in Farukhabad Gharana - My guru was Pandit Shubhankar Banerjee. I honour him by sharing his music and compositions.
Collaboration in Classical & Fusion - Playing with vocalists, dancers, and fellow musicians—whether duet or fusion—always makes the music special.
Kathak Tabla Accompaniment - Recently started performing with Kathak dancers. It’s a new rhythm world, and I’m loving the challenge.
Music as Devotion - For me, every tabla solo concert or private event is a spiritual journey. I try to play with heart and soul.
