Hi there...

I'm T.L. Mazumdar

—an Indian-German independent musician, educator, singer-songwriter, and producer with a 25-year journey spanning continents, contracts, and some stories..

I started the Holistic Musician Academy in 2022 to equip artists with tools for sustainable, balanced success that shuns fear-based thinking in an industry full of challenges.

Through my podcasts, courses, coaching and resources, I’ve been privileged to host Grammy Award winners, New York Times bestsellers, mental health specialists, and fitness experts—exploring what it takes to succeed and stay grounded as an artist today.

I am here to remind you of the three most valuable things you need to remember today 👇.

1. Your art

...is valuable.

2. Your voice

...is irreplaceable.

3. Your journey

...was meant to be joyful.

My Story

From being signed to labels in three different countries to leaving a coveted life-long tenure with the German government—a position most musicians only dream of—I’ve always believed in taking bold steps for what truly matters.

When the pandemic hit, I left behind that secure path to focus on empowering co-artists, students, and mentees to thrive as independent artists.

While still practicing my own art on my own terms.

"'Ive done a lot of work on myself but T.L.'s insights and questions bring a whole new dimension to it all"

- Johannes Stange

"T.L. is a magician!! Every session was filled with profound insight, information and expansive perspectives."

- Sharanya Natarajan

"T.L. addressed aspects of being a musician that no-one really talks about. "

- Sarah Shipchandler

Why I Do It

When I was 17, I asked my mentor what I needed to do to be a professional musician.
All I got was: '..no matter what'
So I did that 🤷🏽‍♂️.
And over the next 20 years

I took off with 2 suitcases to a new country.
Ate into my tiny college fund to invest in conservatory education.
Learned a new language.
Survived toxic pedagogy that almost broke me.
Navigated bureaucracy between countries to establish my self as an internationally active artist and educator.

All while healing my body and mind from morbid obesity, heart disease, Constant injury, eating disorders and critical mental health that almost killed me.

Sans meds. Sans surgery. Just through training my life right.

I learnt the hard way. But you don't have to.
