It is a balancing act of precision and passion, and I have found that both worlds teach me how to connect with people in unique ways. ## Photos and videos - ![This 'Queen of Mashups' award is more than just a trophy; it's motivation.

Both worlds demand strict discipline, whether I am analyzing public health data or layering a 90s Bollywood track with a psy-trance beat. I do not just hit play. I listen to the room and shift the energy based on what the crowd needs in that exact moment. ### The Duality of Sound and Science My path is not the traditional route. Growing up in Tripura, DJing was rarely considered a profession, which made my early days challenging. I chose to lean into that challenge rather than step away from it. By day, I am a PhD scientist. This requires analytical thinking and rigorous attention to detail. By night, I bring that same analytical mind to the decks. I deconstruct music to understand how specific frequencies and rhythms affect an audience. ### Why My Sets Feel Different This is why many refer to me as the Queen of Mashups. I enjoy blending unexpected sounds, like regional Kokborok rap with modern hip-hop, to keep the dance floor unpredictable. My clients often tell me they appreciate this fresh perspective. When I arrive at your venue, I have already done the prep work to understand the vibe you want, from sunset lounge grooves in locations like Oman or the Maldives to high-octane dance floor sets in India. ### My Philosophy I believe in living true to yourself. When you hire me, you are not just getting a person who plays songs. You are getting someone who understands the importance of narrative and atmosphere. Whether it is an intimate lounge setting or a large festival, my goal is to create a soundtrack that feels as real and authentic as my own journey. ## About Rislyn Debbarma I am Rislyn. I balance my days between medical research and my DJ decks, bringing a unique perspective to every set. Music is about connection, and I am here for those who want their event to sound different, authentic, and truly memorable.
