Ashok Anant Bellare is a child prodigy. He started his
music performance in 1953, at the tender age of three. He learnt
classical music from his father Late Shri. Anant K. Bellare who used to accompany great veterans like Late Ustad Amir Khan, Late Pt. Bhimsen Joshi and others on the harmonium.
Later on, Ashok switched over to
Tabla and started learning from the maestro, Late Pandit Taranath Rao of
Mangalore.
Ashok believes that any music that relaxes the mind and touches the heart is the real music. He also believes that music can create wonders as a fine art and can reach people irrespective of their nationality as it has no language barrier.
