Akhil Jobanputra is a student, performer, teacher, and curator of Indian classical music. He currently trains with veteran vocalists Pandit Arun Dravid and Pandit Arijit Mahalanabis. His music encapsulates elements of self-introspection, personal narratives, metaphysical beliefs, and artistic expression. Akhil’s repertoire features a mix of centuries-old traditional compositions as well as a range of contemporary pieces, including his own, and is informed from the Jaipur-Atrauli, Agra-Atrauli, Mewati, Dagarbani, and Gwalior gharanas (traditional socio-musical lineage systems). He has performed across Canada, the US, India, and the U.K
