Jake Charkey Bio:
He studied cello in the Western Classical tradition under Paul Cohen, Leopold Teraspulsky, and finally with Norman Fischer at the Shepherd School of music at Rice University in Houston, TX. Seeking to broaden his musical skills and vocabulary after conservatory training, he took an interest in Hindustani music. His studies began in Toronto with the sarangi player, Aruna Narayan, who urged him to adapt Hindustani music to cello rather than learn an Indian instrument. He continued in Los Angeles where he took up intensive training with Jagan Ramamoorthy, a senior disciple of the violin virtuoso Padmabushan Dr. N. Rajam. He completed his M.F.A. at CalArts in Hindustani music under the guidance of Aashish Khan and Swapan Chaudury and with additional instrucion on cello and contemporary techniques from Erika Duke-Kirkpatrick. While at Cal-Arts he also incorporated other modalities of improvisation into his playing with Vinny Golia, Wadada Leo Smith, and Charlie Haden.
After grad school Jake moved to Montreal, where continued to perform Hindustani music, both as a soloist and accompanist for Kathak dance and was an occasional collaborator with tUnEyArds. In 2010 he travelled to India with an arts fellowship from the Shastri Indo-Canadian Institute to support formal study under Padmabushan Dr. N. Rajam with whom he continued to learn for the 6 years he stayed there.
He recorded for dozen's of Indian films and performed with many of the most celebrated musicians in Bollywood including artists like: Zakir Hussain, Hariharan, Yesudas, Arijit Singh, Master Saleem, among many others. His unique sound can be heard on Clinton Cerejo's season 2 of MTV's Coke Studio, multiple episodes of MTV Unplugged along Armaan Malik, Pritam, Jeet Gannguly and in a number of Bollywood soundtracks.
Jake has also arranged strings for several TV Series and films including Emmy Award nominee 'Sacred Games' and as well the Best Background Score Zee Cine Award for the film 'Airlift'.
His company Rose Productions LLC exclusively represents the New York Grand Central Symphony Orchestra for India and has contracted, produced and managed the Grand Central for globally acclaimed singer Arijit Singh's April 2017 Tour of the USA (Atlanta, Chicago, San Jose, Washington, New Jersey, Dallas, Houston, Austin) and Arijit Singh's September2015 tour of the USA (New York, Orlando, Houston, Oakland, LA, Dallas, Chicago).
