The sitar has never felt separate from life.

Rooted in the Vilayatkhani tradition, engaged with Indian classical music, and committed to original composition.

Sharanjeet Singh Mand is an internationally acclaimed sitarist, composer and educator. Known for expressive gayaki ang and an adventurous contemporary vision, his work moves between Indian classical music, Western classical thought, original composition, poetry and artistic collaboration.

His music is an inquiry into deep listening, creativity, poetry and landscape—an exploration of the human spirit.
