Journeys in Sound

Drupad Mistry grew up in a family of musicians and has become an accomplished sarod player alongside his career in design. An avid traveller, he loves connecting with artists across cultures. He began formal training young under his father, Bhargav Mistry, later studying under Ustad Amjad Ali Khan. He trained formally at Surnandan Bharati, Kolkata, earning a gold medal in his final year. Drupad has performed widely across India and abroad—including England, France, Hong Kong, Greece, Scotland’s Fringe Festival, South Korea’s World Music Festival, and Italy, where he performed at the Indian Consulate. He has also composed music for film and festival soundtracks.

Neeraj Mistry has been drawn to percussion from an early age, training under Pandit Ramkrishna Bose from age five and later studying tabla formally at Sarbabhartiya Sangeet O Sanskriti Parishad, Kolkata, passing with distinction. He has performed widely, including as a Yuva Kalakar at Ahmedabad’s Saptak Festival, at Udaipur’s Maharana Kumbha Sangeet Samaroh and City Palace, the Dhrupad Samaroh, Jaipur Kala Mahotsav, and Bangalore’s Indian Music Experience. A recipient of the Udayman Kalakar award, he performs alongside his father and brother. Beyond tabla, Neeraj plays handpan, pioneering a signature tabla-handpan fusion featured on two international albums.
