Absolute Focus Biography
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.
Jas Ahluwalia studied the illustrious Tabla under the world-renowned Ustad Tari Khan. The Tabla is a pair of hand-played drums known for its versatility in both melody and rhythm, capable of producing a wide range of tones that bring a unique depth to any composition. Jas’ deep understanding of rhythm and thoughtful accompaniment elevates every performance, bringing emotional depth and intelligence to each piece.
Together, this husband-and-wife duo founded the production company Absolute Focus, where they work on a diverse array of projects. Their portfolio includes work with major television and film clients such as Netflix, Apple TV+, Amazon, Disney, and Facebook. They have composed music for live theater, cultural projects, and strive to introduce Indian classical music to new audiences around the world.
