check_circleVerifiedPrompt and professional. I had a couple notes on round one and the revisions perfectly reflected my direction. Quality player with smooth communication and delivery!
check_circleVerifiedIndrajit ji is the best sitar player you can find on soundbetter. He comes from a gharana that doesn't need a mention and is very talented, plus his sitar sound is so classic that you will fall in love with it.
He has done an amazing work on my song and I can't wait to mix him in and release the song. I definitely look forward to working with him again.

I hired Indrajit to record sitar for a video game score - excellent musicianship, great sound quality, and an efficient recording, thanks very much!
I hired Indrajit to play on my album Sunray Project. He did an amazing job. He can also play the surbihar which is featured on my album too.
