Vijay Venkat

Vijay Venkat is a unique musician, naturally adept at handling several musical instruments with facility including the violin, viola, flute, keyboard, vichitra veena (an ancient Indian fret-less slide instrument) and is also proficient in Carnatic vocals. He is considered one of the very best on these instruments and performs at a top professional level, making him one of his kind.

Vijay was born in Madras, South India and hails from a family of connoisseurs of the fine arts. His father I. R. Rama Mohan is a mridangam artiste who learnt the art from great masters. A tough task master, he is also Vijay's primary mentor and a constant source of encouragement and guidance.

He performs on the four instruments with great ease, making imaginative excursions into the rare domains of musical creativity. His proficiency and technical mastery on all these instruments, is a rare achievement in the annals of the music world and the cognoscenti consider him a musical phenomenon.

VIJAY is an empanelled artiste of Indian Council for Cultural Relations [ICCR], Government of India and he holds the Master of Philosophy degree in Anthropology from the University of Madras, India, and a master's degree in Music from the Middlesex University, London, UK.

Vijay has performed in many concerts and special projects throughout SAA-uk, including Thread and Wood in 2019.
