My name is Jayakumar Kerala Varma......Known as Jayen Varma.. aged 46... I sarted music when I was in college.. I was into Drums and Indian classical percussion Instrument called Mridangam. I learned Mridangam under my Great Guru Mr.Parasala Ravi, who was the Principal of Indian Classical Music College in Kerala. In North India people use Tabla and in the south people use Mridangam for classical Music Concerts. Then I took off to bass guitar. I ve been playing in the band called Dharma India (formerly FIREFLY). The band toured and played in most of the best venues in india . We used to play all sorts of music from Rock n Roll , Rock, Heavy Metal, Jazz, Jazz-Rock, Fusion, Ragas, Pop, Funk.. etc etc.. we know more than 500 cover songs of various bands in the world. We ve our own album DELAYED GRATIFICATION, which is yet to be released officialy.. I am coming from a small town in India in Kerala. Married and ve two daughters... The town is the capital of earstwhile Cochin State . A place of different temple art forms. In India .. Many renowned artists come from my small town.. The native place of Dr.L.Subramanam, Dr.L.Sankar, Dr.L Vaithanaathan(violin trio, who play with John Mclaflin in sakthi) is my small town... I use a different style in playing bass. Maily percussive style(just like Tabla or Mridandam is played).This is a unique style which, to my belief nobody in the world plays.Though I was discouraged from adapting this style by many, I kept on practicing this.
