Gaurav Pandey is a professional singer based out of Dehradun. His discrete sound is a blend of his acoustic guitar and eloquent vocals. He has the knowledge of various instruments and is one of the leading acts from Uttarakhand. He calls himself a performer rather than a singer and his songs are generally about love and life. In 2009, Gaurav fused with a few musicians under the name Nucleus and competed in a band quest, organised by Big 92.3 FM Bareilly. They stood third overall and first in their state, Uttarakhand. In the annual fest of Nainital 2010, Sardotsav, Gaurav, along with the band Vikshipt, scored a place for them and were even praised by the newspapers and the audience.
