Down the streets of Kolkata, roams one of the state’s foremost singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Nischay Parekh. Starting off young, the musician spent a while playing music on and off; but it was around the time, in his teens, when he learnt the guitar from Tajdar Junaid that he started writing music seriously. Nischay also studied music at the Berklee College of Music. Recording most of his music in unconventional spaces, including a tent in his room, he released his debut album, Ocean, in October this year, clearly marking his territory on the scene as a force to be reckoned with.
