Skills
Indian classical vocal
I have been learning North Indian Hindustani classical vocal music since February of 2010 from my Guru Smt. Mitali Bhawmik. I've performed in venues such as Drive East in NYC in 2017, Chhandayan Music Center in NYC multiple times since 2010, Sangeet Jagat Music Institute in 2016, North American Bengali Conference in 2016, and many more. I've also achieved the Chhandayan Jyotsna Award for Outstanding Student of Indian Classical Music in 2014.
Indian folk singing
I've been singing Bengali folk songs and devotional songs since I began learning Hindustani classical music. I've sung a variety of bhajans, Nazrul geetis, Rabindra Sangeets, and many other types of Bengali and Hindi songs in different venues since 2010.
