Brandon Colaco is a didgeridoo player, engineer, farmer, visual artist, and music producer. He has performed at the prestigious World Audio Visual Summit (WAVES) 2025, held at the Jio World Centre in Mumbai. A winner of the Create in India Challenge 2025, he was selected to represent India’s emerging talent and performed three high-energy sets.
In 2024, he was invited to perform at some of the world’s biggest didgeridoo festivals, including the Tribal Elek Festival in France and the FATT Festival in Portugal. He has been exploring Carnatic music, folk traditions, and world rhythms, continually blending the ancient sound of the didgeridoo with new-age sonic landscapes.
Brandon’s journey into music was far from conventional. Born and raised in Mangaluru, he completed his schooling there before graduating as a mechanical engineer from NIE College, Mysuru. He then worked in Bengaluru with companies like General Motors, Toyota, and Deloitte. In 2017, feeling the need for a deeper purpose, he moved to Chikkamagaluru to support his father, a coffee planter, and to reconnect with nature. Inspired by the Western Ghats' serene environment, he built his first music studio and began exploring the didgeridoo—a path few in India had taken seriously. Immersing himself in sound, rhythm, and nature, he launched his music project Two Eyed Wizard and released a debut album, TUWAKITUWA, in 2022, collaborating with several other musicians. As “Two Eyed Wizard,” he began performing across India and gained recognition for his distinct blend of tribal rhythms, rich synthesizers, Indian classical influences, along with various world music influences.
Brandon is not only a musician—he is also a visual artist and professional video editor. His creativity spans media, and he believes that his passions are interconnected. Currently, Brandon is working on a new music single. He is creating a cross-cultural fusion through music. He participated in a one-of-a-kind national music reality show, Symphony of India – “Bharat Ki Goonj.” Brandon’s band, titled G# (G Sharp), usually features a drummer, pianist, Mohan Veena player, didgeridoo, and seven female vocalists.
He is also one of the pioneers and admins for the Didgeridoo India Community. He has been trying to connect didgeridoo players across the country. With every breath into the didgeridoo, he honours an ancient tradition and creates space for its resonance in modern Indian music. He has brought this ancient instrument into the limelight of India’s vibrant music scene is a matter of pride.
