Musician

Anupam Shobhakar

Starting his musical journey at age 10 in Bombay, India, Anupam Shobhakar played guitar for rock and metal bands. But as his curiosity deepened, his focus shifted to the sarod, a 25-string fretless instrument from North India.

Studying under Ustad Aashish Khan of the Maihar Gharana and other master musicians in the complex Indian classical tradition and performing in concerts around the world eventually led Anupam to NYC, which is now his home. The move reignited his interest in Western culture and fueled new The music that came from this heady mix required a new instrument, one that could encompass his diverse influences, so a new instrument was born: the custom double-neck guitar. His creation blends both fretted and fretless, allowing Anupam to combine elements from the Indian sarod repertoire as well as a thrilling new range of musical ideas connecting East and West explorations into jazz and classical music.
