He is a guitarist, composer, producer and recording engineer who  resides in Southern California for several decades now. Samir is Indian born and a tenured professor whose multi-faceted life and career reflects the classic immigrant experience of thriving in the pursuit of his creative and academic dreams, he applied his virtuosic musical talents to a multitude of projects involving legendary Indian musicians – including several for his wife, Madhumita Chatterjee, a renowned Bollywood singer.

In 2019, long before COVID-19 upended our world and sparked anxiety about the future like never before, Samir's sorrow and concern for his adopted home country inspired Samir to reach out to top Indian based musicians and collaborators to realize his vision for Stairway To Nirvana, his debut album as a new age artist/producer under his own name. Fusing Eastern (Indian) classical music and instruments with modern Western music, Bodhi and his ensemble create a melodically, rhythmically and harmonically transcendent album that offers a musical roadmap to peace in these troubled times.
