Healing Minds Through Music on World Music Day: Rishabh Sharma

On the occasion of World Music Day 2025, where the world celebrates the universal language of music, it’s important to shine a spotlight on artists who use music not only for entertainment, but also as a tool for healing and mental wellness. One such inspiring figure is Rishabh Sharma, a young and passionate musician who has been transforming lives through the therapeutic power of music.

Who is Rishabh Sharma?

Rishabh Sharma is an emerging Indian musician, composer, and music therapist who has carved a unique path in the world of sound. Rooted in Indian classical music and trained in modern musical techniques, Rishabh doesn’t just perform, he heals. His work revolves around using music as medicine, creating sounds and rhythms that help ease anxiety, stress, and emotional turmoil.

Rhythmic sounds stabilize breathing and heart rate.
Singing and listening to music activates pleasure centers in the brain.
