Pramod Chandorkar

Faculty

He was the first one to be bitten by the bug and is now a successful Sound Engineer in his own right. He is just 40! At this age he has achieved so much that he can't afford not to distribute it. As he says, "Unless I give it away, new knowledge would not come my way". A musician to begin with, he has performed as a percussionist with major playback singers all around the world. One fine day he decided to be the one who has all the controls for the musicians. A typical Leo! He tried hard to find out a way to learn Sound Engineering. Either his qualification was not enough or he was not allowed in. Finally he got his mentor Mr. Suren Akolkar who taught him in his home studio in Poona. Amazed by his style of teaching Pramod promised him that one day he will uses this technique to teach many more. And he kept his word. Pramod has been working as a Sound Engineer in the music industry from 1995 till date. He has worked on numerous mega hit albums and films as a Chief Sound Engineer. He is the proud recipient of The ZEE Cine Award for the best song recording In 2005 for the film HUM-TUM. Currently he is working on some exciting International Music In USA and India.
