Taruns music and artistry has been described as œnothing short of remarkable (AllAboutJazz, USA) and his debut album, Sacred World has said to œPoint to the future of jazz in India (Time Out Magazine, India). Regarded as œone of the finest and most successful jazz drummers and composers to emerge from the country (The Wild City ), with his latest release œThe Shape of Things to Come on Berthold Records, Tarun delivers yet another fearless, imaginative and heartfelt set of music.
While Tarun continues to feature his genre-bending quartet with trumpeter Adam OFarrill, pianist Sharik Hasan, guitarist Olli Hirvonen across the globe, he also broadens his palette with a gripping new live act as Seasonal Affected Beats in India. On his debut EP 2° as Seasonal Affected Beats, he brings the finesse, controlled volatility and discipline of jazz and merges it with malleability of electronic beats.
An inward and spiritual experience for Tarun, music has had a very special impact on his life, in finding his voice as an artist, and building a career as a composer, performer and an educator. His music is driven by a restless desire to be a holistic artist, and inspired by his Indian roots.
Taruns music has been featured on WNYC, MTV, VH1, Coke Studio India, hr2 Kultur, Red Bull Music, and HIT95FM. Tarun endorses Zildjian Cymbals, Evans Drumheads and Sensory Percussion.
