Ojas Adhiya combines extraordinary technical aptitude with a vast knowledge base, playing with a fluency that belies his years. He was drawn to the tabla from an early age.
He taught himself the 8-beat keherwa taal. Soon after he was listed in the Limca Book of Records as India’s youngest tabla artist, having debuted at the age of four. During his time as a student, he also delved into jazz, ghazal, and Carnatic rhythm, and advised young artists to play everything they hear.
Today he accompanies top Hindustani artists – including Ustad Shahid Parvez at Darbar Festival 2018 – and is firmly establishing himself as an exciting solo performer.
