With a journey that began in the rhythmic beats of traditional instruments and evolved into the cutting-edge world of modern sound engineering, Sindhuraj's story is one of passion, perseverance, and the relentless pursuit of musical excellence.

Growing up in Panaji, where music forms an integral part of daily life, Sindhuraj was introduced to rhythm and melody at an early age. He attended Mushtifund High School in Mahalaxmi, Panaji, where he first encountered formal music education.

However, his passion for sound transcended the confines of academic learning. While he pursued a Bachelor's degree in Commerce, his heart was always drawn to the technical side of music, leading him to complete a diploma in Sound Engineering and Music Production. This fusion of creative talent and technical expertise has since defined his career in the music industry.

The Foundation: Classical Percussion and Early Influences

Sindhuraj's entry into the world of music began with classical percussion instruments. His early training in the tabla gave him a deep understanding of rhythm, which soon expanded to traditional instruments like the dholak and pakhawaj.

These foundational skills equipped him with a keen sense of timing and rhythm, which later became the backbone of his music production.

But it wasn't just traditional instruments that shaped his artistic journey. Sindhuraj vividly recalls the moment his perspective on music shifted-when he stumbled upon the mesmerizing performances and recording sessions of the legendary A.R. Rahman. Witnessing Rahman's genius was a turning point that ignited his ambition to explore music beyond the traditional, leading him to the realm of digital sound production.

Inspired by Rahman's ability to blend tradition with modernity, Sindhuraj embarked on a journey to master not only live instruments but also the technical intricacies of sound engineering.
