Film Scoring Portfolio

       Upasak Mukherjee (Upa) is a renowned Tabla virtuoso and Film and Media Composer. His work ranges from sweeping orchestral music to complex rhythms informed by musical traditions from all over the world. He was awarded the Berklee World Tour Scholarship and the Zunz Family Indian Ensemble Scholarship for his contributions towards world music and supporting the diverse creative community in Berklee by being a founding member of various programs. Upa has also served as the President of the Film Scoring Network, working as the Founder and Director of Berklee's own film festival.
 

       Upa has scored for a wide range of films, including "Elijah," which won in the prestigious Tasveer Film Festival among other award winning works. His other projects involve a blend of orchestral, rock, ambient and percussive scores, often blending these genres effortlessly. His percussion performances have spanned four continents and collaborations with multiple Grammy artists, including Edward Perez, Mike Block, Omar Hakim, Claudio Ragazzi, Patrice Rushen and the Berklee Indian Ensemble, to name just a few. His popular musical feature in Berklee's "Two Track" series is a great representation of his personal works. Being heavily inspired by his Guru, the Grammy nominated Pt. Subhen Chatterjee and his collaborations with members of Yo-Yo Ma's Grammy winning Silk Road Ensemble, his music brings together the musical traditions of the world under a single umbrella. While his independent music seeks to bring joy and harmony to the world, his film collaborations often tell impactful stories.
