The story behind the music

Passion has no age limit. Mine started at 30.

I always loved music. As a child I wanted to become a musician — but life took me into a long corporate career in the telecom industry first. At 30, I finally started learning music seriously, and there was no turning back.

Over the last 15 years I have performed on more than 100 stages across India, released my own music worldwide as The Awescillator, composed background scores for thriller films, and trained more than 500 students.

I founded GICA — GAMAKA Institute of Creative Arts — and the label Oscillator Audio Works so that the next generation of artists gets what I had to find the hard way: structured learning, real practice, a stage, and a path to earn from their art.

Alongside music, I have counselled more than 200 students on their careers in the last five years, because talent needs direction as much as practice.

My teaching philosophy

Passion → Performance, the Feynman way.

If you can explain it simply, you understand it. I teach music the same way: learn a concept, play it, explain it back in your own words, find the gaps, and practise until it's second nature.

Learn it → Play it → Explain it → Refine it
01

Understand, don't memorise

Build a clear understanding of the idea behind the music.

02

Practice is the real teacher

Make steady, structured practice the bridge between knowledge and performance.

03

Every artist needs a path

Connect lessons with goals, opportunities and a sustainable creative direction.

04

It's never too late to begin

My own journey into serious music learning began at 30.

05

Technology is an instrument too

Explore modern production tools and AI while keeping creative judgement human.
