Vinod Arora (Mc Gilehri) Email & Phone Number

I started out in music as a drummer for a year and a half but gradually developed more of his interest in guitar and the harmonical richness of the instrument at the age of 13. Playing guitar under several teachers i finally found himself learning professionally under Vivek Sharma at The Delhi School of Music where he learned more about the theory and studies of guitar and music in general. Soon after my school i decided to pursue music for higher studies at Swarnabhoomi Academy of Music,Chennai. Wherei learned several aspects of music like composition and arrangement, reading music, writting for big band orchestra as well as south indian rhythm system called Konnakol. I also studied under great musicians like Mateus Asato, Karina Collis, Raghuraman Ramasubramanian, and Zdenek Kansky. I have a major interest in Jazz Fusion, Progressive music, and classical music.I am highly influenced by Bach, guthrie govan, miles davis, steven wilson to name a few. I am currently guitarist of an experimental pop-rock band called KAPOW!, who released their self titled debut record in feb. this year. KAPOW! is a mixture of 6 minds ranging from pop, rock, jazz, even some metal which is why their debut record is everything you're looking for. I have worked with allot of international and national musicians like Danish khan, Christi kanska, Ratnang singh and looks forward to music enlightening his life.
