Apratim was born and raised in Kolkata (India). He was initiated to vocal music at the age of five under the guidance of his mother. At the age of nine he preferred to switch over to instrumental music - Sarod. In the process of his prolonged dedicated training for over 26 years in traditional Dhrupadee Veenkar Style of Senia Maihar Gharana he has developed a distinguished playing style of his own.
Apratim's renditions are totally self improvised and meditative in nature. His captivating virtuosity, sparkling imagination interwoven with prosodic progression, aesthetically unfolds true color of the raga. His metrical waves of sensitive melodic phrases and his intensity in performance create the “ambience of charm and beauty in short span of time”.
