I was initiated into music at a very early age by my mother Dr. Sandhya Shankar. Being gifted with musical talents, I started learning the Carnatic Violin from Vid. Lalgudi Rajalakshmi at the age of 5. I’m currently learning advanced violin lessons under the guidance of Vid Charulata Ramanujam. Since the past 18+ years, I have performed 200+ concerts as a violinist & vocalist at prestigious venues across India. I am also proud to be a part of social awareness and charity programs for children with special needs, saving indigenous cow breeds of India and Rotary outreach programs. I have also been part of the core music team in short-films and composing the anthem for our university cultural fest Atmatrisha with a footfall of 8,000+ students. I have been able to bring music to a larger audience by conducting music workshops, lecture demonstrations and jamming sessions at my University. Tutoring senior students, I employed innovative methods using my instrument to convey nuances and enhance the learning experience, which greatly benefited my students.
