RONOBIR LAHIRI

Book Ronobir Lahiri for Event

Ronobir Lahiri is an internationally acclaimed sitarist, composer, singer, actor, and music producer known for redefining the sound of the traditional sitar through contemporary music. Trained in Kolkata, India, under Sri Deepak Choudhuri, the foremost disciple of the legendary Pandit Ravi Shankar, Ronobir spent years mastering the rich traditions of Hindustani classical music before embarking on a unique musical journey that bridges Eastern heritage with Western innovation.

After returning to the United States, Ronobir developed a distinctive musical identity by combining the meditative structures of Indian ragas and talas with the hypnotic rhythms of deep house, electronic, ambient, and world music. Influenced by artists such as Philip Glass, Miles Davis, and Jerry Garcia, his compositions create immersive soundscapes that are simultaneously spiritual, energetic, uplifting, and deeply atmospheric. His groundbreaking album Hypnosis: Deep House Sitar, released on the renowned Hearts of Space label, established him as one of the pioneers of electronic sitar fusion.

Ronobir's artistry has been recognized on some of the world's biggest musical platforms. He was featured on Katy Perry's multi-platinum album Prism, performing on the track Legendary Lovers, and contributed an expressive sitar solo to Ziggy Marley's Grammy-winning album Fly Rasta on the song Sunshine. He has also performed alongside the Blue Man Group and the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra at the iconic Hollywood Bowl, further cementing his reputation as a globally respected crossover artist.

In addition to his music career, Ronobir is an accomplished actor, singer, and storyteller whose work reflects themes of identity, culture, and artistic expression.
