561 – Raghav Mehrotra: Creating the Future
It’d be easy to classify Raghav Mehrotra, the young phenom drummer as being “great for his age” but that’d be grossly inaccurate. He’s a great player. Period. Adding to his greatness is the fact that he’s a teenager and has already built a career and resume that’s worth noting. From Broadway to gigging with Jazz luminaries, Raghav keeps one eye focused on the past for inspiration and one eye on the future he’s busy creating for himself and others who will follow in his footsteps.
Raghav Mehrotra talks about:
- Starting to play drums at 3 years old
- What things put him in a creative funk and how he combats that
- The style of practice that works best for him
- His experience on Broadway with School of Rock
- How he envisions his future and the role of music in it
