Keerteesh Rao

Keerteesh Rao is a composer born and raised in India who enjoys writing music that breaks harmonic and timbral conventions and explores a passion for storytelling and emotional connection. He began his musical life studying classical piano and violin. Despite showing promise as a classical pianist, his love of orchestral music and electronic music turned him on to studying music production and composition. This journey of discovery continued in his mid-teens, with a desire to move beyond the traditional keyboard and draw from various electronic and recording techniques. His influences include AR Rahman, TroyBoi, Hans Zimmer, Skrillex, Diplo, to name a few, and he’s always looking to innovate. A musician and producer himself, he excels at delivering efficiency and commercial awareness without sacrificing creative integrity. Keerteesh has spent the past six years of his life studying to become a better musician, performer, and composer. He is now ready to use his education and effectively explore and produce unique musical investigations, studies, and hopefully masterpieces and looks forward to continuing down his path as a music composer.
