A look at what happens behind the console, from my early days in 2012 to touring and performing at clubs across the country.

My job takes me to amazing places. This video captures my journey to Cochin for a performance at the Holiday Inn, showing that I am always ready to travel for a great gig.

A throwback to 2012. I was featured in the Denon DJ Nostalgia series with my old DN-SF4500 gear. I have been passionate about DJing for over a decade.

About Behind the Decks

When you book me, you are getting more than just a playlist. I travel with my own technical knowledge, ensuring I can adapt to whatever venue console, whether it is the latest Pioneer setup or a specialized rig, is on-site. I have spent over a decade perfecting how I read a crowd, meaning I do not just play songs, but I actively manage the energy in the room to keep the dance floor moving from the first track to the last.

My love for DJing started back in 2012 with a Denon setup, and that initial spark has turned into a decade-long career that has taken me from small local gigs to stages across Bengaluru, Kochi, and Goa. This page gives you a glimpse into what that life looks like beyond just the photos of a crowded dance floor. You will see the reality behind the scenes, including the travel, the setup, and the focus it takes to keep a set running for hours on end.

I approach every gig with the same mindset I had when I started: focus on the music and the people in front of me. Whether I am playing at a corporate event in a hotel or a club night in a busy city, the goal remains the same. I understand the nuances of different venues, the importance of a seamless technical setup, and how to communicate with the lighting and sound teams on the ground.

When I travel for performances, like my sets at the Holiday Inn in Cochin, I do not just show up to hit play. I coordinate with event managers and venue tech teams well in advance to ensure the equipment is ready to go. I believe that a great DJ performance is built on preparation, so when the time comes to step behind the decks, the only thing left to do is let the music take over.
