Growing up in a house where rehearsals and jamming are an everyday routine, Mohan developed an interest in percussion at the tender age of 3. After learning Tabla from Sri Ananth Narayanan Mishra and violin from Sri H.V.Krishnamurthy in Bangalore, he has played Congos in several music functions. Mohan has been performing in a few bands in Bangalore until recently before moving to the US.

While Mohan likes to play on any surface, he enjoys African beats and the variations in Indian tribal instruments the most.
