| Debapriya Adhikary |
| Debapriya, presently disciple of the legendary Padmabhusan Girija Devi ji of Benaras Gharana and Pt. Vijay Kichlu of Agra Gharana. She was his mother, Smt. Anita Adhikary who introduced the notes S R G M P D N to him and since then Debapriya has started singing for the rest of his life. Initiated to Classical music by extremely supportive parents, he received his primary lessons from his mother, who later took him to the stalwart vocalist of �Senia Gharana� , Pt. Samaresh Chawdhury from whom he learnt for fifteen years. Since 2005, Debapriya has been receiving the Jnana Pravaha scholarship where he has been getting extremely valuable guidance from stalwarts and connoisseurs. But one man whom Debapriya recognizes as his Preceptor, who changed his entire approach for music is the late exponent of Agra Atrauli Gharana Pt. Kumar Prasad Mukhopadhyay. |
