Shehnai Guy

Ankit Patel (AKA the Shehnai Guy) is determined to share the distinct sound of the Shehnai with the world. It’s his passion to learn, play, and show the world that this beautiful instrument still exists. He plays the instrument in a way that few others do. Rather than locking himself in the traditionalist box, he covers contemporary as well as old songs and mixes the distinct tonal qualities of the Shehnai with modern beat production. Ankit already has four original tracks on YouTube and other streaming platforms. The sound is incredibly unique and has earned the Shehnai Guy a huge following on social media, with thousands of followers on Instagram alone. Ankit’s mission is to bring the Shehnai into the mainstream and help keep it alive along with his fellow performers. Ankit is also the owner of Bollywood band JashnATL where he plays the keyboard and the Shehnai. Social Media: Facebook: shehnaiguy Instagram: shehnaiguy
