Purbayan Chatterjee, 46 Sitarist and digital educator
>>>
AVAILABLE FOR: Creating digital presence for musicians
CHARGES:No fee structure, but donations encouraged
EMAIL AT: paamf.office@gmail.com
Chatterjee has been playing the sitar since the age of five. He started The Purbayan Arts and Artists Music Foundation (PAAMF) last year to help young classical musicians adopt a digital-first approach where he educates his students on creating a strong digital presence. “I have always been a tech geek,” he says. He feels that it is important for musicians to reinvent themselves and develop skills to put out their own music digitally. It was the pandemic that was an awakening for him. “I realised the need for upcoming artistes to be able to shoot engaging, 90-seconds-long content with good quality audio/video for social media”.
RECOMMENDED BY: Megha Rawoot, “I have been learning sitar under Purbayanji in a guru-shishya parampara. In Indian classical music, sharing your work is generally frowned upon. I have grown up with social media, and I was happy when Purbayan ji encouraged me to build my social media presence”.
