About
Miles' first experience with music was on drumset, but since the age of 19, he has focused much of his attention on tabla--the drums from North India--and other percussion from around the world.Miles' tabla is rooted in a taalim (training) of the Farukhabad gharana (school or style). His ongoing study of the tabla began with his guruji, Abhiman Kaushalji, at the age of nineteen. With his loving support, Miles was able to immerse his self in the musical culture of India through studying in Hyderabad from Pandit Nandkumar Bhatlouande (Abhimanji's late guru) for 6 months in 2001.From 2003-2007 Miles toured locally and abroad with several groups visiting the Middle East, Europe and Asia. In another stint abroad, he also lived in Sevilla, Spain studying flamenco in 2003. Soon after, in 2004, Shrewsbery graduated from UCLA with a B.A. in ethnomusicology and in 2009 received an M.A. in ethnomusicology from the University of California, Riverside.Some of the most notable and memorable performers that Miles has worked with are Ustad Shujaat Khan, Yusef Lateef, Googoosh, Bennie Maupin, Dave Stringer and Hassan Hakmoun.For Miles' ongoing study of Indian music he has received numerous grants and fellowships. In 2008 and 2009 Miles was awarded the prestigious state department grant, the CLS scholarship, to study Hindi for 10 weeks in Jaipur, India. Through the University of California, Riverside, Shrewsbery was awarded the Gluck fellowship in 2007 and 2008 that allowed him to perform and lecture about tabla throughout Riverside County. Additionally, Miles received a graduate fellowship for the 2007-2008 academic year in order to pursue graduate study at UCR.Miles has recorded extensivley on many projects from movie soundtracks to local bands. You can find his tabla and percussion on such movies like Sinbad (Dreamworks 2003), The Rundown (Columbia 2003), The Riches (FX channel 2007), Kingdom of Heaven (Twentieth Century Fox 2005), among others.In addition to performing, teaching has always been very important to Miles. Recently, he became an a ArtistTeacher in Residence for the Center for World Music in San Diego and with that, Shrewsbery has had the fortunate opportunity to bring tabla to local San Diego county schools in a hands-on setting. Miles also teaches tabla and percussion privately in the San Diego area.
