He is a disciple of renowned santoor master Pandit Satish Vyas and master of Hindustani classical singing Pandit Somanath Mardur.

He regularly accompanies artists from India and works in a wide array of collaborations such as Jorane, Michel Cusson, Chantal Chamady, Matapat and Musa Dien Kala." -Kabir Cultural Centre The sarod is a fretless stringed instrument used in Hindustani music. The sarod commonly has between 17 and 25 strings made of steel or phosphor bronze which are plucked with a triangular plectrum called a javvva. It is often used to produce a meend, a type of glissando characteristic of Hindustani music. The sitar is a plucked string instrument invented in medieval india. The name comes from sat tär, meaning "seven strings" in Hindi. The sitar has 6 or 7 played strings that are plucked with a plectrum called a mizraab in addition to a much greater number of resonance strings which run beneath the instrument's frets. The tabla is a pair of single-headed hand drums from the Indian subcontinent. The small, conical righthand drum is called the dayan and is used to created treble or tonal sounds. The larger, kettledrum-like lefthand drum is called the baya and is used for producing bass. The tabla owes its unique sound to the coat of syahi "tuning paste" applied to specific areas on the skin of each drum. *Date listed refers to date of performance.
