From giving his first stage performance at the age of nine to being featured in the Limca Book of Records at 14, Indian pianist Utsav Lal has come a long way. This is his story.
Utsav Lal has been performing Indian classical music on the piano for 13 years now.
He deftly incorporates jazz and western classical elements into his music which often leaves the listener spellbound.
At the age of 14, Lal featured in the Limca Book of Records as the youngest painist from India. Since then there has been no looking back for him.
The 20-year-old raga pianist from India has released three solo albums so far and has won critical acclaim world over for his music.
In this interview, Utsav Lal talks about the challenges he faced while chasing his passion and his plans for the future.
You started playing when you were just six or seven years old and have performed numerous concerts, how do you feel about being called a child prodigy?
I have always wanted appreciation of my work and my music to be on an absolute scale and not in consideration of my age.
