RISHAB SHARMA
Birth of a musician.
Sitarist, music producer, and mental health advocate, Rishab Rikhiram Sharma, was made for the spotlight and his multi-faceted career is shaping up to be nothing short of iconic. Having been born into the world-renowned, Rikhi Ram family of luthiers from Delhi, Rishab was first introduced to the Sitar at the tender age of ten.
His own father, master luthier, Sanjay Sharma (Rikhi Ram), became his first Guru, and after a few years of unwavering dedication and commitment, Rishab was introduced, for the first time on stage, in 2011. It was on this occasion that his performance caught the attention of Sitar Maestro, Pt. Ravi Shankar, who took young Rishab on as his youngest and last disciple. Under his tutelage, Rishab was able to hone his natural talent with the utmost commitment and perseverance.
One of his most famous videos : looks like Gandharva himself is playing. So Devine.
