Career
Abhisek began performing in public at age 11. His first significant national recognition came in 1997 when Hariprasad Chaurasia invited him to perform at the "Saath Saath Festival". That same year, he made his international debut in the Netherlands at the World Kinder Festival, where he was hailed as a 'Wonder Kid'. This accolade led to performances across Europe, the U.K., the U.S., Canada, Sri Lanka, Japan, Bangladesh, and Singapore. Abhisek also performed with his father, becoming the first Indian artists at the European Parliament in France, the Cannes World Music Festival, and at Canada Culture Days in Toronto.
Abhisek formed a world music trio named IONAH with Japanese guitarist Hideaki Tsuji and Indian tabla player Parimal Chakrabarty. [2] He is also part of the EMME collective (East Meets Middle East) of Chicago, USA. [3]
In 2017, the Indian Council for Cultural Relations appointed Abhisek as a Cultural Delegate to Morocco and Cyprus. His music albums gained recognition; "Sparkling Sarod" was nominated at the Global Indian Music Academy (GiMA) Awards in 2010, and in 2014, his album "Mood Of Puriya Kalyan" was nominated alongside Indian music legends such as Hariprasad Chaurasia, Shivkumar Sharma, Zakir Hussain, and Rashid Khan.
