Nived honed his piano skills in rock and jazz styles at Taaqademy, a music school in Bangalore. He showcased his versatility at the Taaqademy music festival, performing solo and accompanying a group of singers. Inspired by the experience, he picked up the bass guitar and that's how his journey as a bassist began.
