I, Rahul R. Vellal, currently aged 13 years, am a student of Indian classical music – Carnatic Music. With the help of my wonderful Gurus, who have bestowed me with the sacred knowledge, guidance, mentoring and with a lot of encouragement from my Parents, I am continuously in the pursuit of acquiring and improving my knowledge in carnatic music. I have been performing at several sabhas and Indian classical music platforms across India, abroad and online channels.
