Shenker has enthralled audiences and critics alike all over the world.

ABOUT
In 2020 Shenkar released his critically acclaimed solo album “Chepleeri Dream” featuring star – studded guest appearances by Korn’s Jonathan Davis, Tony Levin (King Crimson, Peter Gabriel), Chester Thompson (Zappa, Phil Collins), Stephen Perkins (Jane’s Addiction), Scott Page (Pink Floyd, Supertramp), Norwood Fisher (Fishbone), Josh Lopez (Black Eyed Peas, Will.I.am), Zac Baird(Korn), Dileep (Shenkar Band) and more.
Due to the Covid pandemic there were no live shows to present the album, so a video was produced for ” In My Heart ” ft. Jonathan Davis and Stephen Perkins. As Shenkar put it, “It’s a gorgeously animated music video directed by Balazs Grof and captures the song’s essence perfectly.”
In 2021 Shankar released his first ever holiday album ” Christmas From India ” a brand new set of recordings where he recreated some of the most treasured holiday classics with the sounds of tablas, sitar, veena , santoor and many Indian instruments to craft a Christmas album like no other. The album included two original compositions written by Shankar,
“Christmas Time ” and “Saviour”. More recently he has been working on a new album featuring most of the artists from Chepleeri Dream and more new guest stars with an expected release in 2023.
In his upcoming North American tour in the Spring of 2023, Shenkar will be covering materials from Chepleeri Dream and from many of his past albums including from the soundtrack of “Last Temptation of Christ” and “Passion of Christ” and songs from his upcoming album.

My friend Shenkar is a legendary musician. An extraordinary vocalist, violinist and composer. I always had a great time working with him on Queen of the Damned, my 2 solo albums, my solo world tours and his solo albums. Don’t forget to check out “Chepleeri Dream”. I highly recommend it. It’s awesome!
