JazzUpTV brings together elements of Indian Semi-Classical, Jazz and Bollywood in a contemporary and refreshing manner. Rahul, a Hard Rock & Jazz lover, decided to create a truly unique sonic experience in his earlier days, and spent a good amount of time familiarizing himself with nuances of various genres of music as well as learning how to play various instruments. The idea is not just to create an exciting sound but also to have beautiful poetry as the essence, be it his original or the works of legendary Urdu poets or Bollywood lyricists.
The real learning and excitement lie in collaborating with musicians with varied backgrounds and musical sensibilities. The journey is long and perpetual, but the path is interesting and satisfying. From Jazzy rearrangements of Bollywood Classics to original music drawn from Trip Hop, you can expect JazzUpTV to captivate and thrill you with their Live Act and Recordings.
