Nirbhay Gupta is a music teacher and the owner of Awasthi Music Classes. He has been in this field for the past 14 years.
Nirbhay hails from Varanasi.
Nirbhay says that he belongs to a family of musicians and had been learning music since childhood. After completing his 12th grade, he started teaching music too. He was also interested in sports and wanted to play in tournaments, but his family did not allow it and told him to focus on music instead. He started participating in music competitions at his college. He also learned to play the guitar in his college days. He believes discipline is the key to learning classical music.
Talking about his challenges, Nirbhay says that his father passed away when he was in the fourth grade. His family faced financial problems and after completing 12th, many responsibilities came upon him. Although, he is now financially stable.
Sharing about his achievements, Nirbhay says the guidance of his gurus has helped him come this far. He says that he got to perform in the shows and festivals because of the connection he had with his gurus. Running his own institution and teaching his students is an achievement for him.
When asked about his role models, Nirbhay says that his mother is his biggest inspiration and has supported him throughout his life. Then, his teachers and gurus, as well as his best friend, have always encouraged him.
In times of mental stress, he likes to listen to ragas, which are like meditation to him.
Nirbhay's life mantra is to learn, practice, share, and work hard to achieve goals in life.
