The Mumbai drummer/composer shines on the seven-track record
While Mumbai-bred drummer/ composer Aman Jagwani may not have come from a musical background, his mother however did gift him a keyboard as a seven-year-old which went on to change his life. He says, “After some lessons, I began exploring on my own with the keyboard, the guitar and some percussion instruments.” By the time he was 12, Jagwani began learning drums from Mumbai-based Benjamin Sequeira after which he joined city-based True School of Music for a year and since 2016 has been studying Drum-Set Performance as well as Electronic Production and Design at Boston’s Berklee College of Music.
It was at Berklee where Jagwani began developing ideas for his reflective seven-track debut album, Essentially Entangled, released recently. He says, “After meeting, watching, learning from and collaborating with some extremely talented and virtuosic artists, I was heavily inspired to manifest my musicality beyond the drums.” As soon as Jagwani had all the songs ready, he put a band together at Berklee to “rehearse, refine and record the album.”
