Born into a musical family, Samsi's father, Pandit Dinkar Kaikini, was a renowned vocalist, granting him exposure to the classical music tradition from a very young age. Yogesh took up the tabla at the age of ten, and his prodigious talent soon became evident.

His most recent releases, such as "Taal Teentaal By Yogesh Samsi" and "Taal Ektaal," showcase his mastery over complex rhythmic cycles, while "The Tabla Series - Yogesh Samsi" is a testament to his dedication to the classical tradition and his desire to explore the potential of the tabla. "Rehnuma - A Tribute To My Father" is a soulful homage to his father's influence, underlining Samsi's reverence for his roots and the generational passage of musical knowledge. With "Vibrant Violin" and "Unwind," Yogesh Samsi continues his journey as an ambassador of Indian classical music, bringing the riches of his tradition to a global audience with elegance and authenticity.
