For me, every project kicks off with a beat in my bones. I trained in the Jaipur Gharana, so Indian classical fusion isn't just a style - it's how I think. That old-school vibe mixes with whatever your project needs. ### Turning Ideas into Tracks Whether you’ve got a film, a brand, or a story, I jump in to shape your sound from scratch. I handle everything - arranging, recording, mixing. Most times, there’s a team vibe: I work with directors, singers, and sound engineers, making sure the music fits your vision. Sometimes it’s messy, but that’s how real collaborative music production works. ### Work I’m Proud Of - ACC Cement ad: Created big, punchy beats using Chenda Melam and Puneri Dhol. - Tata IPL on JioCinema: Arranged and played percussion for their campaign with MS Dhoni. - Xiaomi India: Played Dholak and Tabla for an electro-Sufi jingle. - Song ‘Albela’: Arranged and played Tabla for this classic with Shashwat Singh. - Heeramandi (Netflix): Recorded Pakhawaj for Bhansali Productions’ soundtrack. ### My Sound & Style I’m a multi-percussionist, not stuck in one genre. I mix folk, pop, and classical - whatever the project demands. My palette is huge, from Pakhawaj and Tabla to Dholak and Chenda Melam. Sometimes things don’t click right away, but that’s part of finding the perfect sound. ### Making Music, Together Music production isn’t a solo gig for me. I work hands-on with everyone involved, respecting each idea. And for every artist or collaborator, main tumko sheesh navata hoon (I bow my head to you). ## Highlights Browse through Rishabh Shankar's best work. ### [Featured](https://mytribe.in/rishabh_shankar/music-production/featured) - [Video: It was an incredible experience to arrange and perform the percussion for the official Tata IPL 2023 campaign on JioCinema.
