PLEASE VISIT MY OFFICIAL WEBSITE: http://www.evathompson.com.
I live in Brighton about 20 minutes walk from the sea. I play the sitar, a North Indian lute-like instrument and the veena, a South Indian string instrument. I also love acting, when I don't play music. :-)
I was born in Budapest, Hungary, where I grew up fascinated by Indian culture and music. I trained in Bharatanatyam, a classic dance style from South India, and came to Britain to further my studies.
I studied at the Bharatya Vidya Bhavan Institute in London for five years, and gained a First Class Diploma in Sitar playing.
I have also studied the Veena, (an ancient South Indian stringed instrument) and Kathak dance, a classic dance style from North India.
I am particularly interested in exploring the healing capabilities of music with the help of the Sitar and the Veena.
I also play in two bands - The Sumerian Kyngs & Freeflow.
You can check out the Sumerian Kyngs' profile on myspace: www.myspace.com/sumeriankyngs.
I am married to Dave, a very funny comedian, writer and Teletubby (Tinky Winky).
Dave's website is: http://www.davethompson.org.uk.
