| | Sudip Kumar Chatterjee, a tabla player of the Banaras Gharana, was born on 19th May 1983 at Howrah in West Bengal. His father was Late Tridib Kumar Chatterjee. His mother, Smt. Madhumita Chatterjee, M.Mus., (Rabindrasangeet, Nazrulgeeti, Vocal Music) is also an accomplished musician (singer). Sudip inherited his musical flare from his maternal side, largely inspired by his maternal granny, Smt. Puspita Banerjee, who was insistent to Sudip's mother to make him learn the tabla.
In 1998, his grandpa Sri Birendra Kumar banerjee requested Professor Nitin Chatterjee, a disciple of Pt. Samta Prasad, to teach tabla to his affectionate grandson. Prof. Chatterjee made Sudip his disciple by fastening a ganda (a red thread traditionally tied in the hand of a disciple by his guru as a symbol of his own blood being passed on to the disciple to make him his own son) and set off with his intrinsic talim with Sudip.
He has completed his M.Mus. from B.S.P. In the academic front, he is a graduate (B.Com., 2005) from the University of Calcutta. He has recently been admitted to the Rabindra Bharati University with special honours course in tabla. He is currently learning the tabla also under PANDIT MALLAR GHOSH, SON AND DISCIPLE OF GREAT GURU PANDIT JNAN PRAKASH GHOSH. He looks forward to blessings and good wishes from all concerned towards attaining a position in tabla in the universe, as a top of the line player.
