Aditya's Musical Journey - Circa 2012!!

Dear friends, we need all your blessings and encouragement for our little musician, as he prepares to turn 14 later this month, and has some of his most significant concert performances coming up! As some of you might have already guessed, Aditya is completely into music. It's his life! He started on this journey about 5 years ago under the guidance of Pt. Shripad Gaddi, and has been "at it" since then. He's still got a long, long way to go, but he has been singularly fortunate to have come into contact with many 'gurus' and 'guides' in his musical quest! 

From chance encounters with legends of the classical genre like Begum Parveen Sultana, Ustad Zakir Hussain Sahab & Ustad Rashid Khan Sahab, to detailed interaction with Bollywood singing legends like Manna Dey ji and Amit Kumar ji, and instrumental kings like the Sodha Brothers (Kishore ji, Raj ji, Rajendra Singh ji), Blasco Monsorate Sir and Franco Vaz Sir; From impromptu "jamming" sessions with Pop icons like Lucky Ali Sir, and Raghu Dixit Project, to 'closer home' mentors like Babloo Mukherjee da, Satyaprakash ji, Janak Madaan ji, Vijay Kumar ji, Sinchan Dixit, Arundhati di & Aloke da, Chetan Mamtora bhai, Zaheer bhai and Pavan bhai ..

And numerous well-wishers like Srikant Narayan ji, Dr. Ajit Deval, Biju Nair, Divya Raghavan, Jayaram Sir, Jaisingh Sir, Irfan bhai , Bharathi Vishnuvardhan ji, Suma Vijay ji, and other members of Snehaloka Karaoke Club, Ekta Srinivas ji, Pratiba ji, Sapna & Anit Chand, Reena Hebbar, Shiva Priya ji, Pavan Peter, and other members of BSG and SEK .. 

The list goes on and on. We are truly blessed to have come into contact with so many of you, in such a short span of time. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! 

We can only pray that all your love and support continues for Aditya, and that he will continue to evolve and improve as a musician. Who knows what the future holds, but the road ahead seems bleddy interesting to say the least! :-)

Aditya's current repertoire includes Hindustani Classical Music Vocal, Sufi, Devotional (Daaswani, Abhangs, Bhajans), Film (Hindi, Bengali, Kannada), and Western (Jazz). He also plays the Harmonium, Keyboards, Drums, Pianica (Piano Harmonica), and is currently learning to play the Trombone. (Yes, inspired and taught by Blasco Monsorate Sir himself!)
