Rahul Sharma
Pandit Shiv Kumar’s Son dares to repaint life through his experiments with music. His hands move on the Santoor like an agile painter’s hand on the blank canvas, etching strokes with passion and confidence. Witness him render white through a plethora of musical shades.

By creating unmatchable music sans boundaries on an instrument with 100 strings, Rahul Sharma proves that nothing is unachievable. Son of the celebrated Santoor player Shiv Kumar Sharma, he carries the legacy of ‘being different’ rather well. His deep understanding of music and exposure to various genres such as popular, new age, being-energy trances, folk, sublime and more along with a sound grounding in Hindustani Classical Music have enabled him to create a mesh of sounds that is unique and spell binding all at ones. With psychedelic sound and textured ambient echoes stitched on the broad canvas of classical music, his musical presentation is like an alluring picture that redefines tradition. He extensively travels and explores the marvels of nature and his musical voyages pay tribute to Mother Nature in their own mystically enchanting way.
