Nash is one of the only westerners who is permanently residing in India learning ICM and had work very hard to find his way learning Indian culture and music from scratch. From a very young age Nash was exposed to a multicultural life as his family travelled extensively. In college he had a great passion for the liberal arts especially in literature and music and went on to take a course in ethnomusicology where he was taught a few of the basic theories of Indian classical music. He was inspired to visit India and learn about the music and the culture and from there on his musical journey began. He initially started learning the bansuri from Dr. Pralad Nath of Hindu Benares University (Varanasi) and after that he had the good fortune to learn from Padma Vibhushan recipient Pandit Hariprasad Chaurasia for six years. He then slowly started performing at various concerts and festivals and today he has become a highly respected artist who incorporates a mix of contemporary and traditional styles of playing the Bansuri.
