My early association with music came through my grandmother who was a pious lady immersed into Bhakti Sangeet. At the very young age of 8, i went to learn Hindustani Classical music from Shri Prakash Thakur Ji, associated with the Banaras Gharana.

Then i got the opportunity to go to Sabapur (a small village) in Uttar Pradesh (UP), and learn the nuances of classical music under Late Ustad Latif Ahmed, a prominent Vocalist and Sarangi player from the famous Gwalior Gharana.

Then i became a Gath-Bandhan student of Shri Sanjay Jha, who is a disciple of Pandit Bhola Nath Mishra, a prominent disciple of the famous brothers Pandit Rajan and Sajan Mishra of the Banaras Gharana.

Now i am also learing from Shri Anol Chatterjee, who is a disciple of none other than Pt. Ajoy Chakrabarty.
