A few words about me --

BASIC TRAINING : My journey with music began with my father Shri Dwijendra Nath Bera (a student of Sangeetacharya Surendranath Bandyopadhyay, one of the stalwarts of Bishnupur Gharana ) from whom I took my initial vocal training in Indian Classical music, till the age of 10.

ADVANCED TRAINING : For the past 21 years I have been training under Pdt. Santanu Bandyopadhyay of ‘Bishnupur Gharana’ in ‘Indian Classical Vocal’ music.  I have also had the privilege of receiving vocal training from Sangeetacharya Amiya Ranjan Bandyopadhyay for a short period of time, which has only enriched my singing and made me into a better vocalist.

I am also an equipped ‘Harmonium’ Player. I have received training in Harmonium playing from my father, from the age of five. I have accompanied my Gurus in Harmonium at various prestegious programmes.

MUSICAL PHILOSOPHY : To me, Indian Classical music is all about imagination Raagdari is generally expressed through Bistaar  using Pakads, Meers and Alankaras. I concentrate more in bringing out the philosophy and essence of the Raaga in a way that the audience can connect to it.
