About me

In 2007, “α” was released. In 2009, I served as an FM radio ​personality, and in 2011, I performed in a stage production ​filled with comedy. From 2016 onward, I have studied the ​fundamentals of Indian raga under Amit Roy, pursued ​Indian vocal music with Rewa Natu, learned the Bishnupur ​gharana style of Esraj from Sougata Das, and studied ​composition under Mukesh Sharma. I have also appeared ​at events such as Namaste India.

In 2018, I represented Japan at the Indian Embassy’s event ​commemorating the 120th anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi ​and received a letter of appreciation from the Minister of ​Foreign Affairs. Beginning in 2019, I have continued to ​perform as a vocalist at the Indian Embassy’s Hindi Diwas. ​In 2020, I was invited as a guest participant by the Marathi ​Association, and in 2021, I received a letter of appreciation ​at the Dussehra Milanni festival.

What is Esraj?

Esraj also spelled Israj is an Indian bowed string instr​ument that emerged around 300 years ago. It is pr​imarily found in North India, especially in the Punja​b region, and is commonly used in Sikh music as we​ll as Hindustani classical performances. A signi​ficant shift in the instrument’s playing style occur​red thanks to Sri Surendra Chandra Bondo​padhyaya, the uncle of Visnupur Gharana’s Pandi​t Ashesh Chandra Bondopadyaya. Instead of tilti​ng the instrument while playing, he introduced a more ​upright or straight positioning, which greatly influ​enced both the sound and the technique of Esraj​ performances.
