Mothey got hooked into music pretty much when he learned to speak. His first instrument was a tin can of a ghee that lay around in his parent's home.
Growing up amongst the lush tea gardens in Darjeeling, where tea pluckers used to sing on their way to work, his fascination with music kept growing.
He not only went on to study music but also got himself trained on unique and rare musical instrument called Esraj.
