Hriday Gattani

Hriday‘s tryst with music started when he attended a concert as a three-year-old. The connect was electric and immediate! Since then, he hasn’t looked back and ensured he sang often. Living with a family that loved music only fueled his obsession for the art. Amongst his early inspirations is the legendary A.R. Rahman.

“For me he is my mentor, my guru, my inspiration! He has this uncanny way of getting the best out of you. Though I first worked with him when I was 12, it was the Coke Studio sessions that were a fulfilling experience.” It’s hardly a wonder that Hriday went on to debut his vocals in Bollywood under Rahman in ‘Lekar Hum Deewana Dil’.

Apart from the tv spot with the Pogo Amazing Kid’s Awards and the live performance at Blue Frog Bombay with his three-piece band, Hridayis keen on writing more and improving his live performances. He is learning from Vishwaraj Pandit ji( Mewati Gharana)lineage of Pandit Jasraj and has also studied western classical (Vocals) at the KM College of Music and Technology in Chennai where he developed a keen interest in songwriting.
