Behind the Decks: My Journey as a Delhi DJ
From early days on old-school CDJs to high-energy sets at venues like Social, this is my story of music, crowds, and the hustle.
It's been a long journey from spinning on old-school CDJs in 2009 to the digital decks I use today. This picture is a huge milestone for me and shows my dedication to evolving as an artist over the years.
My mom still jokes that I should stop DJing, but seeing a crowd this happy confirms I'm right where I belong. This is my passion.
In my element, behind the decks. This is where I feel most at home, lining up the next track to keep the party moving. Ready for the beat to drop.
A candid shot of me focused on the music. I believe that with hard work, knowledge, and perseverance, you can achieve anything. This is me living my dream.

About My Journey & Behind the Decks
You might see the final result on the dance floor, but the real work happens in the mix. I balance the energy of the room with the right track at the right second. Whether I am dropping a custom mashup at a private party or syncing visuals for a corporate night, my goal is to make sure your guests are feeling the music, not just listening to it.
My journey did not start on big stages. Back in 2009, I was struggling with CDJs, just learning how to read a track and keep a beat going. Winning the War of DJs at IIT Delhi in 2017 was the shift that pushed me to take this seriously. Since then, it has been constant hustle.
Today, I am an open format DJ, which means I do not stick to one box. I play what the room wants. If I am at a wedding in Delhi NCR, we are going deep into Punjabi bangers and Bollywood hits. If I am at a club night at Social, I am mixing House and Techno with vocals the crowd knows.
The big shift for me has been moving into VDJing. I realized early on that music alone is great, but if I can sync visuals to the beat, the impact doubles. I run my sets with Serato or Rekordbox, using high-quality video loops and music videos that play in perfect time with the audio. It is a full experience, especially for corporate shows where branding matters.
When you book me, do not expect a pre-recorded set. I am always on the decks, adjusting the tempo, dropping mashups I made in my studio that morning, and watching the floor. If people are sitting, I switch the vibe. If they are going crazy, I push it harder. Hila dia public ko is the only metric that matters.
