Sitarist, music producer, and mental health advocate, Rishab Rikhiram Sharma, was made for the spotlight. His own father, master luthier, Sanjay Sharma (Rikhi Ram), became his first Guru, and after a few years of unwavering dedication and commitment, Rishab was introduced, for the first time on stage, in 2011. It was on this occasion that his performance caught the attention of Sitar Maestro, Pt. Ravi Shankar, who took young Rishab on as his youngest and last disciple. Under his tutelage, Rishab was able to hone his natural talent with the utmost commitment and perseverance.

Rishab has taken the “Sitar For Mental Health” tour worldwide in the last year covering multiple shows in India, the USA, Canada, and South America. Rishab has performed at the Woodstock 50 Reunion (50 years of Woodstock Festival), paying tribute to the performance of the great Pandit Ravi Shankar.

Apart from his musical achievements, Rishab is also a vocal advocate for mental health awareness and has been open about his struggles with anxiety and depression. He believes that music has the power to heal and has used his platform to raise awareness and funds for mental health organizations. In 2020 he founded ‘Sitar For Mental Health’, which aims to promote mental wellness through music therapy. Rishab offers costless music therapy to online audiences and collaborates with mental health experts to develop a comprehensive method for mental wellness.
