Aayushi Karnik grew up in perhaps the most untraditional place for a jazz/blues guitarist: India. Karnik originally hails from a town called Surat in Gujarat, Western India. As she describes, “It is a dry state, so there are no night clubs to perform. I was mostly a bedroom shredder imagining that I'm playing on a stage.” Despite the limited exposure to Western music, Karnik started out playing a lot of acoustic guitar, singing, and songwriting, but her musical trajectory began to change once she started her studies at The Juilliard School in New York City. She graduated in May 2022 and works with different projects ranging from Folk, Blues, Rock, Fusion and Jazz.
On her debut album “Troublemaker,” she showcases her generational talent alongside two New York City veterans, Todd Turkishir (drums) and Gregory Jones (bass).
