I view my role as a simple bridge between the wisdom of the past and the ears of the future. Whether lost in a raga on stage or guiding a student through their first notes, I am merely a student of the strings. My music is a humble reflection of a life spent in the pursuit of a tradition that demands everything and gives back even more.
