My Compelling Story

Chandresh Kudwa is a professional guitarist based out of the finance capital of India, Mumbai. Ask him about his first introduction with the guitar, and he says that learning it happened to be more of an accident. He started learning play the guitar at the tender age of 14. He would practice playing for six to eight hours everyday – not because anyone told him to do it, but simply because he just couldn't lay his hands of it! Chandresh joined a pop band after a year and began playing for catholic weddings. His craving for distorted guitars led him to joining a thrash metal band – 'Thor'. From casual-playing for bands, Chandresh turned out to be a guitar player by profession. This led him to joining and forming a lot more bands. Besides, he also started doing freelancing, and teaching guitar. Chandresh released his debut solo studio instrumental album, 'A Change' in the year 2009. It was a blend of electronic sounds and loops with intense guitar-playing, which was quite an experiment for him. He currently plays guitar and arranges/composes music for TV and radio ads. Also, he working on to release his second solo album – 'The Conqueror'.
