Musician

Aakash Sridhar is a pianist from Bangalore, India with the desire to express honest emotions through unique, fresh, and captivating melodies in these unpredictable times. He started playing the tabla at the age of six, and ever since, music has always been a part of his life.

He initially pursued a Computer Science degree and gained further experience as a keyboardist after he was inducted into the college music band. During this span of time, he regularly performed and won laurels in several cultural competitions primarily in the style of Indian music. He was also awarded the opportunity to attend a workshop for several days, which opened his mind to other genres of music and the world of improvisation. It was at this point of time that the importance of getting a good musical education became apparent to him, leading him to pursue a Bachelor’s degree in Contemporary Writing and Production at Berklee College of Music, Boston.

While in Berklee, he received the Berklee Achievement Scholarship (BAS) for his musical achievements and grew a reliable network of next generation jazz players with whom he released his first single 'Road to Oman'. He also collaborated with the Berklee Indian Ensemble and participated in the recording of a project that was recently nominated for a Grammy award for Best Global Music Album in 2022.
