Ravi Iyer is arguably the most technically accomplished rock guitarist in Mumbai, India today. ‘Avant-garde’, ‘transcendent’, ‘mesmerizing’ — these are a few words that attempt to define his guitar work. Ravi stormed into the Mumbai rock scene in 1988 as the promising axe-man of Witch Hammer, a metal outfit that he had founded. Today, as the fire-breathing axe-man of VAYU, Ravi boasts a fan following a guitar player could only dream of possessing. In his playing, you will find inflections of his eclectic influences — those of guitar virtuosos of the likes of Ritchie Blackmore, Gary Moore, Yngwie J. Malmsteen, Eric Johnson, David Gilmour, and Joe Satriani.

Outside the realm of onstage monstrosity, Ravi Iyer is a doting father and a devoted husband. He is also a qualified Sound Engineer, an accomplished Music Director and Arranger, and boasts a host of prestigious projects. An industrious Guitar Tutor, Ravi has molded the careers of students from virtually all walks of life. Read more on Last.fm.
