My Story
Music’s always been in my blood, growing up in Goa with my father, Pt. Prabhakar Chary, playing tabla at home, teaching me the first notes. My sitar journey took me to learn from legends like Ustad Abdul Halim Jaffer Khan and now Ustad Shahid Parvez Khan. I love mixing things up - from pure Hindustani to my fusion projects like Ravi Chary Crossing. Passing this on to my students through Swar Sanskruti Music Academy is what really keeps me going. The tradition lives on, yaar.
