With multiple songs in Hollywood movies, Prosad’s fusion style sitar music is catching attention in Hollywood and beyond. His fan base ranges from Australia and New Zealand to Europe, North America and India.
Prosad’s first sitar teacher was Shambhu Das, Ravi Shankar’s senior disciple and George Harrison’s first sitar teacher. Since then Prosad has studied sitar in Toronto and India and is currently studying Indian music with Alam Khan, son of the legendary Ali Akbar Khan Sahab. Prosad has recorded four albums of original music and is currently working on a fifth which is a blend of styles mixing dance, reggae, trance-sitar and world sounds. He divides his time between Canada and traveling the world performing.
