Kamaljeet Ahluwalia

Kamaljeet Ahluwalia walks an innovative path on the Santoor, a rare and exquisite hammered dulcimer/zither. Her performances invite audiences on an emotional and spiritual journey, exploring vast, sublime melodies and intricate rhythmic patterns that build to an energy-filled crescendo. Kamaljeet began her training at the age of 7 under Sitar Maestro Dharambir Singh (MBE). She furthered her studies with Santoor Maestro Harjinderpal Singh, with her most transformative learning coming from her time under the late Pandit Shivkumar Sharma, whose teachings deeply shaped her artistry. Kamaljeet now humbly works to carry on his legacy through her performances and dedication to the Santoor.

Together with her husband, Jas, she is one of the creative forces behind Absolute Focus, a music and media production duo with credits including Netflix, Apple TV+, Amazon, Disney, and Facebook. Through Absolute Focus, they compose original music for film, television, theater, and cultural projects, bridging Indian classical tradition with contemporary storytelling to reach audiences around the world.
