From serenading Bollywood legends on the Arabic kamancheh and Waterless Glass Harp to scoring upcoming feature films, this California-based musician continues to redefine the possibilities of global sound.

Multi-instrumentalist, singer, composer, actor, author, and record-holder Neil Nayyar continues to push the boundaries of global music. With mastery of more than 140 instruments and fluency in 11 languages, Neil moves fluidly between classical Indian traditions, cinematic scoring, and contemporary electronic soundscapes. Rooted in the meditative disciplines of sitar, tabla, and tanpura, he approaches every instrument as a unique avenue for musical expression and human connection.
