Episode 18 - Girishh Gopalakrishnan

On the 18th episode of The Indoencers Podcast, I got to speak with the insanely talented composer and singer, Girishh Gopalakrishnan. We spoke about so much throughout this interview - his experience learning under the legendary Lalgudi Jayaraman, his musical explorations in the U.K., why he left the U.K. despite being able to live comfortably as a musician there, plus so so much more. I loved how he was so open in sharing his experiences and knowledge, and I hope all of you enjoy this conversation as much as I did!
