I was born on the 15th of December at Virar, a suburb near Mumbai to my parents Shrimati Mita Dattagupta & Shri Kushal Dattagupta. We shifted to Kolkata when I was about 3. 

 

My parents, particularly my mother, who was a singer realised my inherent knack towards the basics of Sur & Taal at that very early age. She started to inculcate in me, the ‘a b c d… of music - ‘sa re ga ma… since then. Yes, she is my first Guru. I am indeed extremely fortunate that they decided & I was put under the able guidance of my Guru Shri Jayant Sarkar, an exceptional trainer & a brilliant composer, when I was 4.. I still continue to train in Hindustani classical vocal under him. Discography:
