Talent to watch out for 2 - Shankar Tucker

Shankar Tucker is a force to reckon with his youtube channel - TheShrutiBox he has more than 10 million page views and his music is superb. As you might already have guessed by his last name Shankar is not Indian infact he is an American but his heart is set on Indian Classical music and he is learning the Indian classic music and rose to the fame with his youtube channel - TheShrutiBox in fact I guess Shankar would be familiar to the most of you if not fret not .. here goes some of his compositions which I like as usual you may go to his youtube channel - TheShrutiBox and check his other work.
