"I showed an interest in music from an early age. I played guitar and listened to Pop, Rock and Folk music. Once, I read an advertisement in the University in Iowa of a concert of Ustad and attended it just out of curiosity. I had no exposure to such kind of music but attending that concert was the best introduction for me to Indian classical music. I initially started learning Sitar, but I liked the sound of sarod and even had a dream of Ustad urging me to play the instrument and that was when my journey as a musician began," he concluded.
