Band Members: Throughout my life I have had an aptitude for singing, sound, melody and rhythm!!! This has increasingly strengthened my aspirations to produce music and as a member of the British diaspora I am eminently keen to produce music that is representative of my dual cultural identity. I spent over 15 years under the rigorous tutelage of Grammy Award winning Tabla player Shri Sukhvinder Singh Pinky (CONNOISSEUR). I hold a degree in Mathematics which is very useful in music but ultimately I have given up everything to pursue and realise my ambitions. I am currently working on some stuff which I will post soon.
