My Story
Guruji Pt. Ravi Shankar shaped everything for me. Since the 70s, his music, his world, I just tried to step in. Saskia, my wife, plays Indian Cello - together, we make music, raise our son Ishaan, who’s already deep in ragas. Life’s mad – flights, tornadoes, 4am sitar practice with Zizou (my dog, zen master!). But music, family, travel, it’s all joy. Recording with Ishaan at Berklee… that’s pure magic.
My Work
Sitar Performances & Jugalbandi - I play solo, duet (jugalbandi), and collaborate for events big and small. Love improvising, always rooted in Maihar Gharana sitar.
Sitar and Indian Cello Symphony - Me and Saskia create a unique Sitar-Cello blend. Audiences from Delhi to Dallas dig it.
Music Education & Sangeet4All - We run Sangeet4All, bringing playful raga-based music education to kids. I also perform for schools via SPIC MACAY.
Composer & Collaborator - I compose, rework traditions, mix Spanish tunes with Indian ragas. Always exploring, always learning.
Connecting with Audiences - Best part? The energy. Standing ovations, clapping in Alaap - I live for that joyous exchange.
