Ghatam Giridhar Udupa learned all of Carnatic music’s main percussion instruments - mridangam, kanjira, morsing, and ghatam - before settling on the latter. He studied under his father Ullur Nagendra as well as Sukanya Ramgopal and V. Suresh, and considers T.H. ‘Vikku’ Vinayakram to be a mentor. He is part of Layatharanga, a team of Indian classical musicians who blend different forms of classical and folk music, and his Udupa Foundation seeks to promote Carnatic music and cultural heritage.
