Roshan Sharma(Nepal)
Mr. Roshan Sharma is a multi-instrumentalist. He started music at the age of 11 with his elder brother Srijan Nepal. With an aim to imitate traditional indian music on guitar he started playing ragas on it. Still unsatisfied, he went to Calcutta to learn the chaturangi, a unique 24 stringed guitar with the legendary Maestro and grammy nominee, Sri Pandit Debashis Bhattacharya. He studied Jazz Theory from Mr. Jessie Van Ruller. Fortunate enough to learn both eastern and western music to a great extent, he often tries to merge the best of both worlds thus creating new sounds on the guitar and the chaturangi itself. Besides being a musician he is a lecturer of Tribhuwan University and enjoys teaching academics at various colleges of kathmandu.
