Tell us about your musical journey.

I can’t even pin point when this journey began for me. Being born in a family where music & dance as art forms was flowing in the bloodline for two generations, the conditioning and environment made it an innate concept for both Siddharth & Me. My grand fathers, Late. Parshuram Haldipur (Mandolin player) and Mr. Jairam Acharya (Renowned Sitarist) brought music into their respective families, and then was carried forward my father Mr. Amar Haldipur, a renowned Film Composer, Arranger and ace Violinist who has worked extensively and arranged music for all legendary artists of the Indian Film Industry ranging from Khayyam saab, OP Nayyar , LP , Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Ghulam Ali to name a few.

I started learning to play the piano at the age of 11 and continue to even now. I then started taking part in school competitions, then moved on to forming a band called NEXUS in college with my buddies Gino Banks & Sheldon D Silva. The big break that made me a household name after I got selected for India’s first mixed pop band AASMA which was put together by Channel V. That then led to exposing me to the world of live shows. And I just consider myself blessed to have had the opportunity to work with stalwarts like the Late Jagjit Singh , Tabla maestro Zakir Hussain , Trilok Gurtu , Louiz Banks to name a few. It is amazing how music connects people.

You are a singer and a composer. Which one do you enjoy doing more and why?
