Raagsangeet is his life’s sole aim. The youngest classical vocalist ever to be awarded a Top Grade, Shantanu Bhattacharyya has gone round the globe for performances and workshops, receiving accolades from top maestros and discerning audiences alike. Ustad Bade Ghulam Ali Khan and Ustad Barkat Ali Khan’s inimitable styles have flown through him as an ever renewed spectacle of spiritual wonders, founded upon Gurudev Prasun Banerjee’s ethereal gayaki. Guruma Meera Banerjee and Guruji Ajoy Chakrabarty’s taalim have enriched his aesthetic and intellectual foundation further. Numerous compositions of bandishes, vocal symphonies, devotional songs and even new Ragas, have brought him closer to the younger generation for their rich, ecstatic content. Shantanu Bhattacharyya has established the Raga music school Aalor Pathe Raga Dhwani as a humble tribute to his Gurus, spreading the message of Raagsangeet across the world. The range of his repertoire is too astounding and astonishing to describe.
