Bipin Kumar Sharma, 37, is an artist in the folk music spectrum of Braj in Uttar Pradesh. He belongs to the Brahmin community. Bipin Kumar hails from the Hathras district. He lives with his wife, one daughter, one son, and he has three brothers. He has studied till 12th grade and runs a Sound system Supplier Shop for livelihood. Bipin Kumar has no formal training in this field, and he plays Manjira solely out of his love for music and as a hobby. He is only into Braj Folk music and mostly accompanies his father, Prem Kumar Sharma Ji for his performances. Apart from manjira, he also sings in the chorus at times. From a very young age, he was drawn towards music and used to enjoy being with musicians of his villages and being in the vibes of the musical ecosystem. It then worked as a catalyst in the sound system agency that he owns today. He stayed associated with music, if not as a performer but definitely as an audio system provider. Bipin Ji draws all his inspiration from his father, Prem Kumar Sharma Ji. He not just considers him to be his Guru, but also as his life’s mentor. Along with the group of musicians led by Prem Kumar Sharma, he has performed in almost all the districts of Uttar Pradesh and keeps himself available for Prem Ji whenever wherever it is required. Despite all his struggles, he strives to keep developing his craft and dreams to accompany his father with all dedication and heart. He believes in shining along with Prem Ji someday, in the future, to see himself succeed through the art that he loves so much.
