Gladson Peter: India’s First and Only One-Man Band
Gladson Peter, a singer-songwriter from Mumbai, has been immersed in music since the age of three. A true multi-instrumentalist, he masterfully plays over 45 instruments, including his primary ones—the drums, ukulele, and piano. With an impressive ability to navigate various genres, Gladson’s versatility shines through in every performance.
As a pioneer in the Indian music scene, Gladson plays with over six different bands, serving as the lead singer and musician for three. These bands specialize in original and independent music, spanning both English and Hindi, offering an eclectic mix for their audiences.
His remarkable career includes over 200 live performances each year and appearances on renowned shows such as India's Got Talent and The Kapil Sharma Show. Gladson has also performed for prestigious events, including playing for the EU Chambers.

With only 20-30 One-Man Bands worldwide, Gladson is India’s proud representative in this unique musical community.
