Maukam, 18, lives in a village named Hadwa, 60 kms from Barmer city. He belongs to the Rajput caste. He has been associated with the group for more than 5 years and plays veena. His teacher, mentor and father Gyan Singh has always been an inspiration and motivation for him. Most of the songs he performs are authentic bhajans and one of his favourite raags is Soorthi. He also writes his own songs and has a collection of more than 100 self-composed songs. He believes his group is different because it includes most folk instruments and it tries to experiment while keeping within the traditional way. Maukam has studied till grade 10 but could not pursue further education due to financial instability. Music is his only source of income. He gets around 10-15 shows per month and Rs2000 per show. Most of the shows he gets are on a recommendation basis and through contacts. He wishes to travel abroad and perform at a global stage with a wider audience. He sees other fellow musicians as his brothers and the children of Maa Saraswati
