Bhajan & Bollywood Musician in Lucknow

This artist is a Varanasi-born percussionist. He was born In Varanasi and raised in Lucknow. He has been playing tabla and dholak professionally since the age of 2. In 2020, his musical style gained attention when artists like, Elysa V, Yashraj Mukhate, Ritviz and many other artists personally recognized this artist for mixing tabla over their smash hits. From this moment, this artist’s popularity exploded with getting featured on Times of India and other various news outlet. He’s good at what he does, sure. But that’s hardly a criteria for breaking the internet. This artist’s videos are as basic as they get — shot on a stationary iPhone, at his residence, with a ceiling fan in the background. The ceiling fan, actually, has become a celebrity in its own right — people comment asking for it when they can’t see it in some of the videos. Until a while ago, he didn’t even use a mic to record. This artist’s interest in music was sparked at an early age. Growing up, I used to watch various percussionists also play the dholak & Tabla and I picked up the instrument by ear. When I turned 4, I started learning the basics of Congo and then switched to tabla.
