Dhruv Rathod, the seniormost guitar teacher in Guitar Hall after Kiran Roy, teaching since 2004, was born in Mumbai but spent his early years constantly touring with his father, famous bollywood singer Vinod Rathod. It was probably during this time that he first inculcated music in his blood . He jokingly recalls singing live onstage on one of his father’s concerts as a child artist and making the crowd go completely bersek with his performance. Having rubbed shoulders with all top bollywood singers of that time, he started training in keyboards at a very young age of 6 and in the process completed Trinity College Grades in keyboards.

He found his final calling in Guitars soon thereafter  and joined Guitar Hall eventually,having trained under Kiran Roy directly. While most teenage boys his age spent their time worried about horrid face acne and impressing girls via blinding their senses with ludicrous amounts of cheap cologne, a one “serious guitar player” had more important things on his mind:. 1) Becoming the finest Heavy-Metal and Rock Virtuoso to ever exist, and 2) Dorking out everyone on his path with his wry sense of humor! Like many boys interested in the world of “the raddest instrument ever :guitars”, Dhruv had his sights set on the Music of bands like Iron Maiden, Testament, Joe Satriani and Steel Dragon. OK, so maybe “Steel Dragon” isn’t very popular among many boys, but the point is: Dhruv came from a Heavy-Metal and Rock background, and there was much happiness in shredding.

Dhruv,currently working on several studio bollywood  projects is also working on his album with Kiran Roy. His speed of the light lead guitar display inspires every student at Guitar Hall and is an inseparable part of the Guitar Hall team.
