I am a seasoned improviser, educator, composer and poet based in Birmingham, bringing more than a decade of professional experience across diverse ensemble settings and musical styles. I am driven by a goal to blur the lines between Indian classical music, Western classical music and serialism, creating music that reflects my Indian heritage while drawing on my experiences as a first-generation Indian in Britain.
My career has included collaborations with leading jazz musicians, Arts Council England funding (DYCP) for projects like Loophole in 2024, and involvement with groups such as A Hologram Maze and the Ibeji project. I have taught at institutions like BIMM and led workshops for communities and youth, delivering high-standard commissions and engaging performance programs across venues from Symphony Hall to Jazz Cafe and Cheltenham Jazz Festival.

Industry Experience
Director of one of the largest music educational programs in Birmingham funded by the charity B:Music. I led over 100 students and staff and created the artistic vision, curriculum and logistical outlook of the program. The result of this program was six groups of 12 participants performing music they learnt in three days to their parents on the Symphony Hall stage. I led a mass performance which included all staff and students which they learnt in three days and performed. As a teenager, I was a student on this program. So being able to teach children in the same socio-economic position as me - makes me passionate about cultivating growth in children of all backgrounds, abilities and instruments.
