MUSICAL JOURNEY

I started his musical journey at the later age of 18 by learning Mridangam under the tutelage of Shri M.T. Rajakesari, A-Top, All India Radio Artist who is a disciple of Mridangam Maestro Shri Guru Karaikudi R. Mani. Guru Karaikudi Mani is recognized by the vast majority of Carnatic connoisseurs and admirers as one of the greatest mridangam players ever. The most complex patterns with powerful strokes, aesthetically symmetric, seamless sequences, and rhythmic embellishment brought fame to this unique style called “Karaikudi Mani Bani”. I was privileged to learn directly from grandmaster Guru Karikudi Mani in his renowned percussion school “Sruti Laya Kendra” Bangalore & Chennai Chapters.

Experience:
I am accompanied in several concerts with eminent artists in prestigious Sabhas like Raja Rajeshwari Cultural Association, Percussive art center, Bangalore Nagaratnamma trust, Shubhash Bhavan, Thriuvayar Thyagaraja Aradhana, and much more in India.

Over 15 years in Middle-east and Africa I was actively involved in musical events, performed on various stages, and chamber concerts, and received an award from Kuwait Kannada Koota for rendering musical contributions to the community. And in Nairobi, Kenya I continued my percussion service for various auspicious occasions like Purandaradasa, & Thyagaraja Aradhana, Bhagavathi Seva, Annayamacharya Aradana, and many more. At present, I am on the journey of improvising my skills in percussion and spreading this knowledge through teaching and performances in Canada.
