Love, sacrifice, support and commitment define the career journey of guitarist Gaurav Bali who has opened for big names, had a top 15 hit and spent decades on the road before pivoting towards a second career as a teacher. Gaurav shares an inside look at the life of a musician on this episode of No Wrong Choices.    

Born of immigrants, Gaurav defied “traditional” expectations by pursuing a creative path. His parents’ support of his musical career was undoubtedly motivated by his grandfather’s story; he was a master sitarist and early mentor of the legend Ravi Shankar whose musical journey was cut short. The result has been a 30-year career that has seen Gaurav travel from rock to country, New York to Nashville and The Beacon to Grand Ole Opry.  Gaurav even shared a meal with his late idol Eddie Van Halen (the cuisine will shock you). Today, Gaurav is a dedicated teacher in the process of scaling his School Of Rock.   

Explore how to build a life in music during this episode of No Wrong Choices
