Music career


Noorani is the part of the Shankar–Ehsaan–Loy trio, which consist of Shankar Mahadevan, Loy Mendonsa and himself. He was the guitarist for many music directors before he himself started composing music. Ehsaan studied music with Mr. Bismarck Rodrigues, an experienced guitar teacher from Mumbai (Bombay). Ehsaan studied music at the Musicians Institute in Hollywood, California from 1985 to 1986 . Ehsaan is the first guitarist from India to be endorsed by Fender guitars and has a Squier signature model to his name. He also endorses Fractal Audio and D'Addario strings . His playing is strongly influenced by players like Robben Ford, BB King, Larry Carlton, etc.

In 2015, Noorani was a co judge in India's first Western reality show called The Stage produced by Viacom and aired on Colours Infinity. In addition to Shankar–Ehsaan–Loy Ehsaan also performs with Fender and Friends featuring guitarists like Rudy Wallang, Amyt Dutta and singers Arunima Banerjee and Tanya Sen. He also performs with sitar player Purbayan Chaterjee in an ensemble called The String Fraternity.

Ehsaan's roots are a testimony to the school of music that he hails from and defines the thought-processes that go on to make-up the phenomenon that Shankar, Ehsaan & Loy are in this part of the globe. He enjoys blues and electronica. In recent COVID-19 times, Ehsaan is credited for promoting large number of Indian artists through his Instagram live sessions and thereby providing a platform for budding musicians in India to collaborate and make music.
