Born
into a rich legacy of music, Bhuvanesh Mukul Komkali was destined
to be a singer. Surrounded by the sound of an incomparable vocalist
tradition since conception, Bhuvanesh grew up with the rhythms
and shifting weight of original compositions imbuing his senses.
Even if he cared not to listen, the pulse could not be ignored
because it was in his blood.
Grandson of Pandit Kumar Gandharva, son of Mukul Shivputra,
Bhuvanesh’s musical journey began, unbeknowest to him,
in infancy. Bhuvanesh’s earliest memories are filled with
the sounds of early morning practice, performances and recordings.
An amazing repertoire made its way into the very cells of his
being, even as he graduated from college with a commerce degree.
Bhuvanesh’s musical quest continues today under the tutelage
of Smt. Vasundhara Komkali and Shri Madhup Mudgal. Analytical
environment and meditating over the different aspects of classical
music boosted energy to bloom and glow his artistic personality.
Learning the rudiments of vocal music under such accomplished
teachers has deepened Bhuvanesh’s appreciation for his
forefather’s talents and renewed his commitment to preserve
and extend his heritage. By following the values and philosophy
established by Pandit Kumar Gandharva, Bhuvanesh proves his
commitment and persistence for music through his singing.
He
is currently engaged in enriching the archives of Pandit Kumar
Gandharva’s music using the latest in digital technology.
Bhuvanesh has composed music for Hindi feature film ‘Devi
Ahilya’. Bhuvanesh has performed successfully in almost
all over India in reputed music festivals and has been highly
appreciated by the well versed audience.
