About Tommy Khosla
Tommy Khosla is a contemporary sitarist and composer. Featured recently in Songlines magazine, their debut LP Vignettes was released earlier this year to critical acclaim and has received airtime on BBC Asian Network.
Winning the UK Awards for Young Musicians at age 17, Tommy has since gone on to develop a unique voice in music, placing the sitar in contemporary contexts. Taking inspiration from jazz, Bossa, lo-fi and electronic music, Tommy is challenging stereotypes about the musical spaces the sitar can be played in.
Tommy recently completed an MA Music at SOAS, London, and is continuing his lifelong Sitar training with Ricky Romain and Anoushka Shankar.
