My music is a conversation. Whether it is a fusion track or a classical composition, these projects are where I blend my roots with global sounds.

The official cover for my album, "European Spring". This project is a collection of melodies and moods from my travels, blending Hindustani ragas with the atmosphere of Europe, featuring collaborations with incredible artists.

A snippet from "Tilak Kamod Under Leiden Skies," a track from my album 'European Spring'. This piece was inspired by the beautiful city of Leiden in the Netherlands.

"Amsterdam Afterglow - Bihag," another track from 'European Spring'. This captures the feeling of performing the evening Raag Bihag in the historic city of Amsterdam.

This is "Gawati in Vienna," featuring Haider Khan Gorou on tabla. The track is a musical memory from my time in the elegant and historic capital of Austria.

"Rotterdam Shadows - Malkauns," a moody and intense track from the album. It features a jugalbandi with Heiko Dijker on tabla, recorded in Rotterdam.

A sneak peek of the "Strings of Serenity" music video. We wanted to create visuals that were as aesthetically pleasing as the music, showing sitar and sarod in a cool, modern way.

About Original Albums & Collaborations

When I create original music, I look to bridge the gap between tradition and the modern ear. Take my album European Spring or the Strings of Serenity project with Pratik Shrivastava bhai; the process is not just about playing a raga, but about creating a dialogue between the sitar and the environment or another instrument. If you listen to these tracks, you will hear that I prioritize the melody above all else, ensuring that even in complex fusion, the sitar remains the storyteller.

Music is my prayer, and these collaborations are how I share that with the world. I love pushing the sitar beyond traditional concert halls, blending it with jazz, blues, and modern textures. When we work together, it is not just about a performance; it is about creating a soundscape that stays with you.
