Merging her Indian musical roots with rock, funk, jazz and metal, Mohini is renowned for her exceptional skill and versatility across multiple genres.

    I love how she references Victor so profusely and with such reverence - she's an absolute delight Change the world young lady - you're wonderful
  • @vanelluspierrot
    Mohini became huge in the Indian scene when she performed with AR Rehman on Coke Studio India. She was probably 15 and part of an ensemble of some of the best musicians in India. But she played incredibly well and with such confidence that I immediately knew that she's going to become massive! Keep rocking!
  • @columgaynor7906
    Such a wise and genuinely natural speaker who is bursting with unique talent. Our world needs more people like her. Pure bass magic.
  • @vineflower
    My cousin lives in the same apartment building as her in Mumbai! She is so awesome! What a legend!!!!
  • "If you don't know how to improvise, then there is nothing to talk about." That is such an amazing line, and I wholeheartedly agree. Intentionality and conversationality are essential.
  • @bhavicka
    Mohini Dey is no doubt very accomplished and talented, but what I find so striking is the way she talks about her family, especially her Dad and their relationship. I can tell it's been a journey and yet, she seems to have a maturity and clarity about her emotions that I can only wish we all had. This interview was delightful and reminded me of my own father. I wish Mohini more success ahead!
  • @MedlifeCrisis
    Love that she opens by talking about the Bengali love of arts. It’s in our blood. So happy to see her enjoying global success, long may it continue. My boys are both learning instruments and it’s great showing them someone cool (and young, unlike their boring old dad) to look up to who effortlessly blends cultures.
  • Rick you're going to grow from 4 million subscribers to 40 million if you keep interviewing these young talented musicians. They're going on to do great things and your channel will record the history of their journey!
  • @krautathaus
    Fantastic Interview. Mohini Dey is not only a fantastic bass player, she is also a very entertaining storyteller w/ lot of humor and human radiation. A joy to listen to her. Cheers from Bavaria.

    Good lord. She's mesmerizing. She just "blah, blah, blah, whatever"ed some of the most beautiful bass music I've ever heard 48:30. Just messing around. She's like the living embodiment of the bass. It feels like it's part of her body.
  • @debraangton8398
    This is exactly what Prince was all about..young people becoming real musicians..I believe if he had been around he would have had her touring with him..She reminds me of his bassist, Rhonda. Keep up the good work.
  • @emc14000
    she is unbelievable. am sure her Dad is watching from above and beyond proud.
  • @BB-yi8ts
    This interview is like listening to a great philosopher relate her wisdom on music and playing bass. So engaging.
  • @timbalada312
    Never heard of Mohini, but I just became a fan. Thank you Rick for this interview. Amazing musician and lovely soul!
  • @loucontino4804
    I am 64 years old, when I see and hear some of these younger musicians today, I am blown away. Yes they have U-Tube, Vid's and DVD's, & everyone teaching, which we didn't;t have i the 70's. But, the work ethic to get this good is really amazing. The late Al Mouzon used to tell me about musicians in Universities that would leave he would run into & leave his jaw dropping, and I totally agree when I hear someone like Mohini. Mohini is special!
  • @2mdallas
    This is an "instant classic" Beato interview ... Mohini is a delightful virtuoso ... you bring out so many subtle nuances of this multifaceted young lady ... ... BRAVO to Beato and Mohini 👏👏👏
  • @wags2413
    I can’t believe I wasn’t aware of this amazing musician. Literally blown away. Can’t stop smiling. Thank you, Rick.
  • @ilagupta563
