Roberto’s musical credentials are impressive. He has been playing the drums since the age of thirteen and has performed in a variety of styles on stage across India and the world. Roberto has worked with musicians such as L. Subramaniam and Konarak Reddy, and his Carnatic music studies with T.A.S. Mani of the Karnataka College of Percussion have added depth and richness to his drumming. His solo performances on the Roland V-Drums, the first of which was ‘Sounds From My Mind’, have given audiences a chance to experience the delights of textural drumming enhanced by eye-catching visuals triggered from the kit. Roberto is currently the brand ambassador for Roland, Japan.

In addition to his considerable musical talent, Roberto is also well-tuned to the finer points of business. As an entrepreneur, he has played a key role in the modernization of the gold jewellery market in India, in accordance with international standards and business practices. He has made an equal success of various kinds of businesses. These aspects give Roberto an edge when it comes to understanding organizational and team goals, and customizing DRUMJAM sessions to align with such objectives.
