On this episode of Silicon Valley Insider (#SVIN), Keith Koo’s guest is Preetham Vishwanatha, Founder and CEO of Kena.ai

Preetham shares his early history learning violin at a young age as both an academic and religious experience. After a very successful career as a technology executive and innovator Preetham turned his focus towards his passions for technology and music leading to the start of Kena.ai.

Keith and Preetham discuss how Kena.ai is disrupting how people can learn to play music using A.I, and how the platform can be used to do music genre “mashups” such as heavy metal mixed with classical.
