Biography
Before Ankur paved his way into the world of entertainment, he experienced a humble upbringing in a small town in the north of India – Roorkee. Roorkee is famous for its engineering University and was the perfect cultural hub he could have found. Between the theatre scene in the university, music club at school and the annual college festival at the university he found himself dwelling in various art forms at a very early age. He forced his father to buy him his first guitar that took him to guitar school. Second day at the school, the guitar tutor’s beating on his knuckles led him to devote time on his own to realize those landlocked hobbies into a reality. He found his new tutors in - Recordings on VHS tapes, pictures in various magazines and some odd guitar strummer visiting the small town.
It was during his college years in Bhopal that Ankur began writing the relaxed, acoustic-based songs that would later find their place in his debut Album – ‘Chand Chahiye’. Right after college he took a sharp turn to the road of storytelling, songwriting being a major feature in that. He spent the formative years in Delhi working under the likes of Col Kapoor, Bobby Bedi and Shekhar Kapoor. He also paired up with his friend Siddharth Anand Kumar to direct and write his first feature – ‘Let’s Enjoy’, which saw him move to Mumbai.
He struggled hard to find a label in the ‘dark and convenient era of remixes.’ He wanted a pure live acoustic sound for his album and it was tough convincing the suits. It was only when the ANR at HOM records heard him strumming his minimalist melodies that Ankur eventually found what he had been looking for. They backed him in his vision and he ended up compiling his album recording with music producers - in Bombay with the versatile, Tino Francorsi and in Lahore with the raw and earthy Xulfi.
The recording of the album led to a film OST project – Raat Gayi Baat Gayi for Director Saurabh Shukla. This is when he met with Music Producer Sidd Coutto, who was moving from his ex-band Zero, as a drummer. Sidd introduced him to Pozy the lead guitar wiz and Johan the jumping jack bassist - all coming from diverse backgrounds and tastes.
The sound of Ankur and the Ghalat Family range from Urdu/ Hindi Rock n’ Roll to acoustic ballads to folk rock melodies. Sidd Coutto grooves on the drums, Johan backs him with his bass lines, Pozy plays the lead licks and rhythm backing and Ankur leads on Vocals and Rhythm guitars – Together they are the ‘Ghalat Family.’
