Pooja M.

Ever since his early childhood days pure classical music, was an essential element of his growing up environment. At the age of 10, he could prodigiously recognize the ragas and relate to them. He had no 'swar-gyan', yet could discern the difference between ragas. By the time he was in his early teens, driven by his explorative nature and urge to express the treasure of music he had internalized, he modified his sister's Hawaiian guitar to create what was the first version of Indra Veena.

In late eighties he got an Indra Veena professionally made and started performing in small private programs. All the time he had for himself, it was meant to be spent in company with music - listening and re-listening, imbibing the essence, trying to reproduce and then listening again. There was a penchance for not getting it right grammatically, but getting it to express itself with all its beauty (alankar) and emotions (bhava)'', in entirety. By mid-eighties he had completed Sangeet Prabhakar with distinction.

In late eighties he played for a few concerts at the Festival of India in Switzerland. Immediately thereafter, he was blessed with a few months of tutelage with Pandit Brij Bhushan Kabra. As a Human Alchemist, Indroneil has been touching and transforming lives for close to two decades. He has touched / transformed lives of close to 10,000 individuals in various professions, across all walks of lives, including musicians.
