Everyone loves the sound and the background score of a film but ever wondered what sound engineering is and what sound recordists generally do? They are the ones who are away from all the limelight but work extremely hard in the music industry. One of the best sound recording and mixing engineers, Kohinoor Mukherjee has been in the industry for more than a decade. He has a specialization in mixing and mastering of Bollywood songs, background music, indie albums, and fusion music. Born in Kolkata, he is based in Mumbai for his profession.

The art of music has been in his genes as his mother, Raka Mukherjee was an Indian classical singer. “I was always given the exposure to the musical world and it indeed gave me happiness. But I realized sound engineering was much easier than singing," he quoted. While pursuing his degree in MCA, Kohinoor Mukherjee got an opportunity to record Anoushka Sharma’s third studio album ‘Rise’. It was then that he realized he wanted to make his career in recording.

To follow his dreams, he moved to Mumbai in 2006 and pursued a Sound Engineering course from Daman Sood’s Digital Academy.
