Featured Performances: Hybrid Singer & DJ Sets
I don't just play tracks, I perform them. This is what happens when a vocalist steps behind the DJ console to bring the party to life.
This is what it's all about. On stage with my boy @yaagaaraps, bringing that lit singer and DJ energy to the fam at XOXO. How's the josh? Always high when we're dropping beats like this for a packed house.
A throwback to my roots. Before the DJ console, it was just me and a mic at festivals, on TV shows, and in singing competitions. This is where my journey as a live vocalist began, and that passion is still the core of every set I play.
I love reading the crowd and getting everyone involved. Here I am at a private event, switching it up to some Punjabi tracks and asking the real question: How's the josh? A great DJ and live singer knows how to connect with the audience.
That moment when the beat drops and the whole crowd becomes one. This was an unforgettable New Year's Eve bash at Aloft Whitefield. As a performer, feeding off this energy is everything.
Beyond the stage, I'm also a recording artist. I was so blessed to see the love my single "Koshi the Thumka" received. You can find my original music on major platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, and Amazon Music.
Music and fashion go hand in hand. It was an incredible experience to walk the ramp for W for Woman during New York Fashion Week. It's all part of the performance and the artist's journey.
Getting ready for a show. A big part of being a performer is the look, the style, and the confidence you bring. This is me in my element, ready to rock the floor.
About this collection
When you book my hybrid set, you get way more than a standard playlist. I’m on the mic live, mixing tracks, hyping up the crowd, and actually singing over the beats, so the energy never dips. If you want a DJ who can command the room and switch between live vocals and spinning seamlessly, this is exactly how I bring the party to life.
My performance style is built on the reality that a party needs a pulse. As both a professional vocalist and a DJ, I don't just fade songs in and out. I blend Bollywood, deep house, and Punjabi hits with live vocal improvisations, creating a concert-like atmosphere right on the dance floor. Whether it's a corporate event at a venue like Aloft Whitefield or a private celebration, my goal is to keep the energy high and the audience involved.
You will notice in these featured clips that I prioritize crowd interaction. I’m not hiding behind the console. I am there to host, MC, and sing, ensuring that guests aren't just standing around. This hybrid setup typically requires a standard PA system and sound mixer at your venue, which I use to push the live sound effectively. If you are planning a Sangeet, a wedding reception, or a club night, let's chat about what track list and vocal style will match your specific vibe.

I started as a singer, and that’s the heart of every set I play. I don't believe in just copying hits; I make them my own, mixing my live vocals directly into the DJ sets to keep the floor moving. If you want a DJ who talks back, sings, and keeps the energy high, we should definitely chat.
