Field: Tabla & Percussions
Location: 94, District Road, Wembley, England . HA0 2LG
Telephone: 07947218555
Misc. Info: If I had to put a date to my musical journey- it probably began in the womb. My mother, Meena Chhunchha is a singer and I don’t doubt that the first notes that slipped into my pre-natal consciousness were her’s. She and my father, Harish Chhunchha were my greatest inspiration and I fed on the creative expression that was innate to them. As a 2 year old, I would follow my father into tabla class and during these wanderings discovered my natural inclination to the instrument. This inclination turned into a passion and at the age of 7 I became the disciple of Shri Divyang Vakil in Ahmedabad, (student of Maestro Ustaad Allah Rakhaa) and later continued instruction under Shri Sudhir Kumar Saxena from Baroda. For me this meant devoting a minimum of 7 hours daily, for the next 12 years! It has since helped me carve a niche for myself in this beautiful world of music. Although training was rigorous, it was a 12 year buzz. At 8, I had my first public performance with mum and by 13, I was working with All India Radio on numerous recordings.
