His father Professor K Raghavendra Rao was a respected flutist at the time and his ear for music and skill with the flute was inherited by Ravi who surprised many when he picked it up and played it with ease and skill. Regularly practicing under his father’s guidance, Ravi started performing duets with his illustrious father and even held solo concerts, and he was only nine years old!. Accustomed to performing for international audiences and legends of classical music, Ravi has performed in keystone music festivals and famous venues collaborating with artists around the globe.
