About this collection
I started my career as a live singer, performing at stages like the Himalayan Fest and various Red FM events. I never wanted to stay in one lane, so I brought my vocal experience behind the console. When I mix, I don't just beatmatch, I understand melody and lyrics from a singer's perspective. It is what gives my Bolly-tech sets that extra bit of soul and keeps the energy authentic.
People often ask why my sets feel different, and the answer is simple. I lived the stage life long before I stepped behind the console. My musical roots run deep, starting with live vocal performances at venues like Hard Rock Cafe and major festivals. Those years taught me how to read a room, control the mic, and most importantly, how to connect with an audience without needing a screen in front of me.
When I transitioned into DJing, I did not want to be just another person hitting play on a playlist. I wanted to produce. Whether I am playing at a corporate event in Bengaluru or a private wedding in North India, I treat the console like an instrument. I blend my own produced tracks, mixing classical techno with Italian beats or Punjabi anthems with deep house, because legends create and they do not copy.
You might have seen me on the ramp at New York Fashion Week or working in the Kannada film industry, and yes, those experiences shaped my style. But my favourite milestones are the ones where I am live, mic in hand, asking 'How is the Josh?' and getting that roar back from you. My journey has had its ups and downs, but it has all been building toward this: providing a high-energy, raw, and unfiltered musical experience for your special day.
