Biography:

Obhi was born and brought up in London, the son of Bengali parents who regularly organised cultural events in and around London which usually featured the music, plays and dance of Rabindranath Tagore. He has accompanied some of the top singers of Rabindrasangeet on tabla, including Subinoy Roy and Kanika Bannerjee. His interest in moving images developed at an early age from watching his father, Jayanta Chatterjee (Bojroshen - singer / Executive producer), use an 8mm camera to record holidays and film a short, stop-motion animation sequence. Since his marriage to Kaberi Chatterjee (Shyama - dancer / Production designer / Costume designer / Producer), Obhi has been exploring the possibilities presented by digital audiovisual technologies to develop his creative side.
