Janvi Anand is a Los Angeles based Indian acoustic guitarist, singer, songwriter, composer, entrepreneur, and teacher. She has performed extensively as a solo artist in India and is now fronting her latest project The Janvi Anand Trio. She is also continuously expanding her musical boundaries by participating in various other projects. A passion for music from a very young age led Janvi to explore various instruments. After experimenting with guitar, piano, and drums, she settled on the guitar as her principle instrument. She explains “There is something about the acoustic guitar that no other instrument has. You can so easily combine the piano on your left hand, percussion on your right, play a bass line while playing your harmony. You have the complete band in one instrument.” Learning under musicians like Aditya Balani, Ritesh Khokhar, Tarun Balani, Derek Beckvold and Jamie Munn, her inclination towards contemporary music and an attempt to be a one-man band led her to attend Musicians Institute in Los Angeles, California in early 2015. She is also a recipient of Musicianship scholarship and D’addario scholarship on the basis of her musical abilities. Janvi has released her debut EP “Inside these Pages” on 1 October, 2015. It is a compilation of her music journey to date. A strong believer in the importance of quality music education, Janvi started her own music school in 2012. “Crescendo Institute of Music” , based in New Delhi, India has grown tremendously since it was established and is poised to provide quality music education at the international level.
