About Additional Work & Life
Juggling careers as a DJ and an actor means my schedule is always moving, from a 5 AM call time on a commercial set to a late-night gig at a Bangalore club. I bring that same high-energy, no-drama focus to every booking. Whether you are hiring me to front a campaign or to keep a dance floor packed, I show up prepped, positive, and ready to work.
I believe that variety keeps the creative process fresh. My work spans from leading characters in TV commercials for major brands to spinning Afro-house and Bollywood tracks at venues across Bangalore and beyond. This isn't just about switching between roles; it is about understanding the vibe of the room or the story of the brand.
Why the Variety Works
Being a model and actor helps me understand camera presence, which translates perfectly to my DJ sets. When I perform, I am not just playing music. I am hosting, engaging with the crowd, and managing the energy of the event. On the flip side, my time as a DJ has taught me how to read a room, a skill that helps me nail a character or a commercial look quickly during a shoot.
Practical Details
- Professionalism: I respect your time. Whether it is an 8-hour commercial shoot or a 4-hour DJ set, I arrive on time with the right mindset and gear.
- Adaptability: I can transition from a corporate professional look to a casual, urban aesthetic depending on what your project needs. I handle my own hair, makeup, and styling for most lifestyle shoots.
- Travel: I am based in Bangalore but travel frequently for gigs and productions across India. If you have a destination event or a shoot outside the city, I am ready to pack my bags.
