The Artist's Lab: How I Find Music in Everyday Life
From kitchen pans to suitcase beats, I don't just play instruments. I hunt for rhythm in everything. Welcome to my creative lab, where the raw sounds of the world become the soundtrack to your next event.
This video of me making music with kitchen utensils went viral with over 24 million views. It's a moment from my 2024 recap, showing how inspiration can strike anywhere.
Who needs a drum kit when you have a suitcase? I created a beat using a luggage bag, showing how you can find a kick, snare, and rhythm in everyday objects.
Loving this new setup. Creating music with a few pots and pans, proving that you don't need expensive instruments to make a great beat.
I was going to make some chai, but then a techno beat started playing in my head. So, I grabbed a tea pan and started jamming.
Couldn't control my feelings for 'Peelings' from Pushpa 2. Here's a quick pan cover I made using kitchen utensils, with my cat as my audience.
Just bought some new instruments for my next gig. Spoiler alert: they are from the kitchen. I'm excited to see what beats I can cook up.
Flipping the taasha to get a different sound. It's amazing how you can change the texture of an instrument just by playing it differently.
Captured this matki sound straight from the collar mic while sitting by a lake in Himachal. It was an unplanned, raw take, but I loved the vibe.
I found this clay pot (matki) by the lake and had to capture its sound. The birds were chirping, the sun was setting, and it was a perfect moment of music in nature.
Creating music with dry leaves. This was one of my favorite videos to make, appreciated for its peaceful and natural vibe.
About The Artist's Lab: Finding Music Everywhere
You might see me playing a suitcase, or even a kitchen pan in my videos, but when I step into your event, I bring a professional hybrid rig featuring the Octapad, Djembe, and Punjabi Dhol. These viral creative sessions are how I train my ears to find unique textures and beats. When you hire me for your party, I take that same creative hunger and channel it into high-energy, floor-filling performances that keep the crowd dancing till 3 AM.
My journey from an HCL engineer to a full-time performer started with a simple realization. Music is everywhere, and if you listen closely, even a dry leaf or a clay pot has a rhythm waiting to be tapped.
My Approach to Your Event
When I perform at your sangeet, reception, or corporate function, I don't just stand on stage. I am in the crowd. My goal is to bridge the gap between the DJ's playlist and the audience's energy. I specialize in a hybrid setup that blends organic acoustic sounds with electronic precision:
- Live Percussion: Using my Roland Handsonic, Djembe, and Dhol to add layers to Bollywood and Punjabi hits.
- Bolytech & Fusion: For late-night after-parties, I switch to my signature Bolytech style—a mix of high-octane Bollywood, House, and Techno beats.
- Visual Impact: If you want the 'Mohsick Spectacle', I bring the LED gear, glowing drums, and light-up costumes that turn a regular dance floor into a neon party.
What You Get
Every event is different, and I customize my gear to match. For a Baraat, you get the punch of a Punjabi Dhol. For a high-energy club vibe, I bring the electronic pads and light-up Darbuka. My setup is designed to be mobile, so I can engage directly with your guests, ensuring no one is left sitting out. Whether it is a private birthday or a grand wedding in Delhi, the energy stays at peak levels until the final track. You need a percussionist who knows how to read the room, jam with your DJ, and keep the vibe consistent, and that is exactly what I deliver.
