I’ve been a musician my entire life: I started piano lessons when I was three and took up violin at age six. I was blessed with natural talent and an ear that gave me perfect pitch, and I spent much of my childhood playing both Western classical and Indian music. I loved performing on stage, particularly as a piano soloist and as a violinist in orchestras. I also dabbled in composing and remixing music, both with old school staff paper and with video games and computers.

I can’t say that I reached my full potential - or even really came close - but music gave me some of the best experiences of my life before I even turned 18:

  • Traveling to and performing in Hong Kong, China, Singapore, and Australia as part of the Cincinnati Junior Strings

  • Twice performing at Carnegie Hall as a piano soloist for medaling in a piano competition

  • Performing Bengali music on TV in India, and being featured on TV, on the radio, and in the newspaper in Cincinnati as a classical soloist

  • 9 years of orchestra experience across the Cincinnati Junior Strings, Sycamore School Orchestra, and Cincinnati Symphony Youth Orchestra

  • Recording and publishing a CD of Bengali music with professional Indian musicians in tribute of Rabindranath Tagore and Kazi Nazrul Islam

The past few decades have seen music take a back seat in my life, but I’m trying to find ways to actively bring it back to the forefront, particularly since I’ve passed a significant milestone birthday.

This page will serve as a catalog to all things music in my life, as well as a way to hold myself accountable to make progress going forward.

MIDI Remixes - 1990s

I wrote these in high school when I was familiarizing myself with MIDI sequencing.

Songs of Tagore and Nazrul - 1999

I recorded this album as a violin soloist, and I also recorded the keyboard accompaniment. I was lucky enough to get to record these with sitar and tabla professionals.

Mario Paint Remixes

I’d composed and remixed music in Mario Paint going back to the 1990s, and it’s a tool I used more recently to make music for my son.
