Live Music Performance for Weddings and Private Events
I’m not here to press play. I’m here to bring the energy, take your requests, and make your event a real live music experience—from intimate acoustic sets to high-energy Sangeet nights.
This is what I mean when I say I know how to get a party started. We begin with soulful tunes and by the end of the night, no one is sitting down. This is the energy I bring to every wedding music performance.
It's an absolute honor when a bride trusts me with her entry. Singing for this magical moment with fireworks and all the emotions was a core memory. I love working with couples to create the perfect live music for their special day.

There's no better feeling than this. When the guitar riff hits and the crowd sings back even louder. This is why I love live gigs; it's a shared energy that you can't get from a speaker.
Sometimes the most magical gigs are the most intimate ones. Here I am, playing a few favorite tunes by candlelight at a cozy cafe in the mountains. This is the perfect setup for a small private party or house concert.
A glimpse into a Sufi night performance. Adding a tabla player to the mix brings a whole new layer of soul and authenticity to the music. This setup is perfect for anyone looking for a classic Sufi singer guitarist vibe for their event.
People often ask me to "play" a song, but I'm a singer, not a DJ. If you want me to sing a song for you, just shout it out. That's the fun of a live performance; it's all about real, in-the-moment music.
A truly surreal moment from last year when I opened for the legendary band Indian Ocean. Rahul Ram from the band picked up my guitar and started playing. I was completely starstruck, a moment I'll never forget.
This is my happy place, just me and my guitar, working on a song. I'm always practicing and creating new acoustic arrangements to bring to my live shows. This is a soulful cover I was working on.
POV: You hit the wrong note during a gig. It happens. That's the beauty of live music; it's not about being perfect, it's about being real. We just laugh it off and keep the show going.
About Featured
If you are looking for a pre-mixed, flawless playlist, that is not what I do. Whether it is a wedding sangeet or a small house party, my performances are about interaction and real-time requests. I work with the room, not just a setlist, which means I might occasionally miss a note or stumble over a lyric. If that happens, we laugh, I keep playing, and the music goes on. That is the reality of a truly unplugged, live performance.
When you book me for an event, you are getting a performer, not a DJ. I specialize in turning the energy of a room into a shared musical experience. Depending on the scale of your gathering, I bring different setups to ensure the vibe is just right.
My Performance Setups
- Solo Acoustic: This is just me and my guitar. It is perfect for intimate settings, like a cozy terrace party, a café vibe, or when you need background music that still feels alive.
- Unplugged Trio: By adding a percussionist on a cajon or tabla and a keyboardist, we get a fuller sound. This is my go-to setup for Sufi nights or events where you want that authentic, organic energy without the volume of a massive speaker system.
- Full 5-Piece Band: For larger crowds at Sangeet nights or corporate events, I lead a full ensemble. We bring the high-octane Bollywood dance energy, complete with a drummer, bass player, and lead guitar to keep the dance floor moving.
Why Live Music Matters
I treat the stage like a place of worship, but I don't treat it like a museum. My goal is to get people participating. If I see a lull in the energy, I shift the set. If someone shouts a song request, I try to fit it in. My base of operations is in Delhi NCR, but I travel across India for gigs.
What you get is a raw, interactive show. I don't use autotune, and I don't hide behind backing tracks. Whether it is a classic 90s throwback, a Sufi number, or a contemporary pop track, I play it to suit the moment. If you want a performance that feels like a jam session with a friend, that is exactly what I deliver.
