Amit has a very intensive singing training behind him, which includes Pranayam Yoga & Sound Yoga. On 7 days of the week, he sang for several years between six and ten hours.
Furthermore, he also learned Tabla and Dholak (percussion instruments), rhythmic improvisations and Leykari in singing are therefore his specialties. He has an incredible feeling for rhythmic improvisations and especially Upaj, the improvisation in the song part, which is very entertaining.
