While the commercialization of music has taken the world by storm, and the true art of music is getting lost, Rhythm Shaw has been redefining brilliance with his fingers on the steel-string, right from the age of two. Mr. Shaw’s expertise in music outruns the commonness of his age. His dedication to music is about sticking to the aesthetics, and popularizing the ‘Indie’ or the independent music culture with his harmonics. Rhythm’s belief in individuality is clearly perceptible in the sophistication of his performance.
Rhythm Shaw is a 21 year old guitarist who, hailed as a child prodigy at the age of 8, garnered substantial national television coverage, as well as phenomenal feedback from his audiences through his school and college years. A single-minded artist, aiming to perpetually progress his skills, he has since been practicing on the guitar upwards of 14 hours a day. Along with such unparalleled dexterity on his primary instrument of choice, the guitar, Rhythm is also a multi-instrumentalist, with abilities to enthral audiences on the tabla, where he’d started his musical journey, training in hindustani classical music. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
