Whether I am playing at venues like the NMACC or an intimate Gurbani Kirtan, I arrive early to personally tune my tablas to the specific acoustics of the venue, ensuring the audience experiences the true, resonant depth of the Punjab Gharana style. For me, the stage is where the 'ek koshish' (my humble attempt) meets the audience. When I perform live, it is not just about executing a composition; it is about creating a dialogue between the tabla and the melody. I believe a good performance is born from preparation, which is why you will often see me focused on mic placement and tuning during soundcheck. My live performance repertoire includes: * **Classical Solo Recitals:** Deep dives into traditional Punjab Gharana compositions like Qaida, Rela, and Gatt. I focus on complex cycles that challenge the ears and heart. * **Ghazal & Vocal Accompaniment:** I have been blessed to share the stage with many talented vocalists. Supporting a singer requires a sensitive touch, knowing exactly when to embellish the melody and when to hold back. * **Fusion & Collaborative Projects:** From collaborating with guitarists and harmonium players to blending percussion with modern drum kits, I enjoy exploring how the tabla fits into diverse musical soundscapes. Having performed at prestigious events like the Saptak Music Festival and various cultural centers, I understand the technical discipline required for a smooth show. I travel with my own professional sets, ensuring that regardless of the hall's size, the tonality of my bayan and dayan remains consistent. My goal is always to deliver a sound that is authentic, powerful, and respectful of the music we are creating together. ## About Surjeet Singh I am Surjeet Singh, and for me, the tabla is a spiritual journey. I approach every stage performance with the sincerity of a student and the discipline of my Ustadji, ensuring the music resonates with truth rather than just technique.
