Kailash Rane Before Lockdown

It is always good to hear good music and when you listen to such artists it can definitely make you feel better when you feel it completely. Having such artists in this industry makes this industry larger than life and we are very much glad that we are associated with this performing arts industry.

Meet Kailash Digambar Rane..
An Octapad player from Ahmedabad who has been a musician for the last 20 years.Kailash Rane is the sole breadwinner of his family of five, including him.

Rane's musical expertise can be gauged from the fact that on an average, he used to be a part of 10-12 events, national or international, in a month along with his groups. Apart from shows, he also runs a YouTube channel, showcasing his artistic brilliance and finesse.

His Mother, a senior citizen, has a medical condition that requires her to be on medication constantly, which is rather expensive. He has a daughter whose school fee needs to be paid regularly, regardless of whether or not his source of income is steady.

It was a hard situation, and Rane's constant rounds of gigs were the only source of relief. Until the CoVid-19 pandemic erupted, and with it, a worldwide crisis never seen before.

In the wake of total lockdown due to CoVid-19 pandemic, Kailash Rane lost all his gigs and had to cancel all scheduled shows. He and his family were cut off from the only source of cash flow.

This situation led Kailash to choose an alternative to fulfil their daily minimum expenses and requirements. Thank God for a car that he had bought when he was financially stable, Kailash started cab driving to keep his family's head above water.

Kailash Rane After Lockdown

But unfortunately, driving a cab does not pay nearly enough, especially in a lockdown situation when people are not stepping out of their homes and hailing cabs.

Kailash Rane is an industry veteran of 20 years, having been a part of 11 international tours as an Octapad player. He has been part of various types of events such as Marriage, Corporate events, School events, Birthday parties, Cultural events and others.

Rane is one of those musicians who never gave up on their dreams. He has been creating his music since a very young age, which has made him receptive to traveling, learning new things and polishing his craft.
