My real name is Ankit Patel and I’m eager to share the distinct sound of the Shehnai with the world. My passion is to learn, play, and show everyone that this beautiful Indian instrument still exists. I want to spread the word about it so that it is never forgotten. My way of playing the Shehnai is rather unconventional as I don’t like locking myself in the traditionalist box. In my collection, you may hear both contemporary and old songs and melodies. I mix the authentic tonal qualities of the Shehnai with modern beat production. I have four original tracks that have a very unique sound and they’re available on YouTube and other streaming platforms for you to listen to and download. My music has already earned me quite a lot of loyal fans on social media, with thousands of followers on Instagram alone. I am also the owner of the Bollywood band JashnATL where I play the keyboard and the Shehnai. But my main mission is to bring the Shehnai instrument into the mainstream and help keep it alive!
