Biography[edit]
Pelva Naik was born on 5 February 1986[2]
Early Life[edit]
Born in 1986, in India- Ahmedabad - Gujarat, Pelva was Born into a Gujarati family of dancers, writers, and filmmakers, where she was nurtured amid affluent virtues of Indian culture, literature, art and music.
She studied a wide variety of creative forms as a child, including kathak, khayal, miniature painting, and literature in Hindi, Gujarati, and English.
She developed an interest in performing Indian classical music from a very young age and went on to pursue her high school studies in the Krishnamurti Foundation school – based on the philosophy of philosopher J. Krishnamurti.
Singing has been bringing a deep sense of happiness to Naik since she was a little girl. As she found her way into pursuing the art of Dhrupad, this sense of joy solidified, adding a severe need within to understand this music to its core – “It is a matter of communication, true expression, rediscovering and creation.”
Career:[edit]
Pelva has been trained in the Dhrupad style of vocal music under the eminent Dagar Gharana of Indian classical Music. It was at the age of seventeen that she met her teacher and has been a disciple of legendry Dhrupad Maestro Ustad Zia Fariduddin Dagar one of the finest exponents of Dagar school of Dhrupad music. She then moved to Mumbai to be close to her guru, who was then a guest faculty at IIT Bombay and remained under his tutelage till 2013. She has also received proficient guidance from Rudraveena maestro Ustad Mohi Bahauddin Dagar.
The prime forte of the Dagar school of Music is creation of exceptional refinement of ‘Alaapchaari’, gentle renderings of ‘meend’, great adherence towards the maintenance of the purity of the ‘Raag- Swaroop’, reaching out to the finest ‘shruti bhed’ in a note, free flowing complex cross rhythms of ‘Jhala’ and distinctive rhythmic improvisations of the ancient poetic verses- ‘pada’.
Adding the unique instrumental aspect of Rudra Veena to the Alaap of Dhrupad; the musical discipline of Ustad Zia Mohiuddin Dagar- The Rudraveena maestro and Ustad Zia Fariduddin Dagar- The vocalist maestro, evolved the art of Dhrupad to the most exclusive order of elegance and splendor.
Dhrupad:[edit]
Ancient Indian texts trace the origin of Dhrupad to Vedic hymns and mantras. It was born alongside the Bhakti movement, which explains its devotional context. Sung in temples for many years, Dhrupad was eventually patronised by the royal courts––both Mughal and Hindu, thereby enjoying supreme status in Hindustani classical music. “Dhrupad is one of the most evolved classical musical genres in India today. It carries a universal spirit that goes back to the early 11th century in the subcontinent. In present times, Dhrupad continues to live on as a unique blend of centuries of contemplation and insights nurtured by generations of masters and musicians who were deeply influenced by the diverse socio-cultural and spiritual elements of art and life in the country
Dhurpad Vocals:[edit]
Pelva, in her music, endeavors to adhere sincerely to these traditional elements- so complete in themselves; at the same time, with the help of the great liberty that the discipline of dhrupad offers, she strives to cultivate fresh characteristics that are personal and distinct.
As a solo Dhrupad vocalist, she believes, that even though performance of this unique art form is a central aspect of her ‘being’ as an artist; teaching and edification of Dhrupad must remain the most integral element for a practitioner. Teaching and sharing the nuances of the art of Dhrupad is an integral part of her life and practice. Pelva teaches and performs ‘Dhrupad’ in India and overseas.

Dhrupad Intensive: [edit]
Dhrupad Intensive by Pelva Naik is intended to open up newer ways of dialogue, introspection, learning Music, Understanding Art, listening, feeling and evolving- individually and with the group.
The work in Dhrupad during the intensive is intended to offer ways of understanding the form from a fresh perspective and begin the process of discovering one’s inner authentic voice as well as the meaning and purpose of the act of singing and listening. The Dhrupad sessions would include several Pāramparik riaz techniques and practices, basic nuances of Alap and its grammar, based on one Raga and a composition.
Pelva has curated some unique art interactions and presentations and dialogue sessions especially for this retreat.
The Intensive also includes guided sessions on Conscious breathing techniques from various ancient traditions, body and mind wellness exercises, group meditation sessions as well as various guided voice training techniques.
Film Scoring:[edit]
Playback Singer for the movie Ek Betuke Aadmi Ki Afrah Raatein by Mr. Sharad Raj adaptations of Fyodor Dostoevsky’s, The Dream of a Ridiculous Man and White Nights and Munshi Premchand.
The music in the film is not composed, it is the rendition of pure ragas drawn from Dhrupad form by Pelva Naik, a fine exponent of Dhrupad from the Dagar gharana. It is independent of the visual, hence doesn’t necessarily compliment the visuals but tries to create a new emotion through a dialectical relationship with the images.
