Dr. Krishna Kant Shukla is a musician, scientist, writer, poet, and philosopher. While teaching Physics and Astronomy as an assistant professor, he decided to quit the family trade of academics and follow his heart into the fathomless waters of Indian Classical Music. His musical search has led him into remote villages in the Himalayan foothills, as well as far-flung and difficult to reach dwellings in the central plains. Dr. Shukla’s repertoire includes compositions of Tyagaraja, Tulsidas, Surdas, and other poet-saints of India, as well as the musical compositions of Sufi saints. He has also been researching, recording and performing the folk songs of rural northern India, which, according to him, is an art form of unparalleled beauty, which is fast becoming extinct.
