Nastya Saraswati

Nastya Saraswati is a talented musician hailing from St. Petersburg, Russia, where she was born into a family with no musical background. She kicked off her journey with violin lessons on her uncle's advice—he was a pro orchestra conductor—and dove headfirst into **Indian Classical Music** back in late 2012, making frequent trips to India to train with gurus in both Hindustani and Carnatic styles.

These days, she's sharpening her skills under the guidance of her guru, Shri Purbayan Chatterjee, and even appeared on the Indian reality TV show *Dil Hai Hindustani* on Star Plus in 2017. Nastya's also giving back by teaching the basics of this ancient music to students in Russia, while dropping cool releases like her **Wheels of Raaga** series (think Bilawal and Raga Jhinjhoti) that blend tradition with fresh vibes.
