Gandhaar Amin

Gandhaar Amin began learning Indian classical music from his father, Nitin Amin, at the age of four. By eight, he was already touring with his father, and he began his journey as a solo performer at twelve. Those early years immersed in the world of Indian classical music helped him build a strong melodic foundation for his musical exploration.

It was during college that Gandhaar started exploring musical traditions from around the world. He spent several years playing in bands and recording with producers across India, eventually discovering his unique sound, a blend of traditional Indian melodic composition and modern electronic music production.

Since then, Gandhaar has released multiple albums and singles, while also producing music for other indie artists. He has composed background scores and songs for television and film for over a decade. Notably, he collaborated as a co-composer on the debut music album by His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Inner World.

Gandhaar performs this fresh and distinctive sound either as a solo act or with a band. He has played at festivals and private events across India, and has recently relocated to Toronto, Canada, looking to cater to the diverse tastes of western, urban audiences.
