Composer, arranger and improviser; consummate soloist and generous collaborator; custodian of tradition and restless innovator, multi-award winning sitarist Jasdeep Singh Degun is an anomaly indeed. Unconstrained by genre, the Leeds-born virtuoso's extraordinary skill and creativity are reshaping the musical landscape for his peers, and for generations to come.
Amid artist residencies and fellowships, an international concert schedule, royal command performances and the well-deserved laurels of recent years, Jasdeep's lifelong training in gayaki ang -a lyrical approach to the sitar that mimics the human voice – has remained his anchor and his passion.
"In our tradition, you're always a student", he explains. "My teacher, Ustad Dharambir Singh MBE, shows me how big the music is, and how much we still have to explore."
