Niank Sharma

Lead Singer

"I was a complete stranger to music when I first picked up the guitar, aged 15. Fast forward three years and we (kartikeye and I) formed Broken Echoes to start posting covers of songs from our favourite artists. Another three years and we'd written and released several originals, played gigs and had a couple of our songs featured in a Web Series. All this while being thousands of miles away from each other, juggling academics (I still study at the University of Bristol) and work along with our pursuits in music.

It has, in no way, been easy, yet if there's anything I'm certain of I shall carry into the future, it's this band. For to me, it represents a lot more than just music. It represents our friendship, and more importantly, the incredible journey it has been and what it shall be."

Kartikeye Ojha

Lead Guitarist

"Coming from a musician’s family, music has always been around me. Yet, throughout my school years, I never thought of choosing music as a career. I would play the guitar in my free time, trying to figure out stuff without taking any formal training. With time, my skills improved, and having gained some confidence in my abilities, I started playing small gigs around town. Back then I was oblivious to the fact that, in a matter of a few years, I would form a band and start writing original music with my best friend (Niank).

Through thick and thin, music has always been in my life, Having found my passion, I have since pursued it further and received a degree in music from Musicians Institute in Hollywood, Los Angeles.

To me, Broken Echoes is not just a band. It’s a way of expressing my emotions and giving meaning to my music!"
