In The Press: Features & Talks
Beyond the decks, my journey as a multi-hyphenate artist is all about the stories we tell through sound and culture. Here’s a peek into where the music and the conversation have taken me lately.

So hyped to be included in Bazaar India's "25 in 2025" list of people to watch in culture. It's amazing to get recognition for the work I'm putting into the music scene.

About In The Press: Features & Talks
Being a multi-hyphenate artist is who I am, not just what I do. Getting featured in Grazia and Bazaar India alongside such talented creatives was wild, but it validated the grit required to bridge the gap between DJing, music production, and industry talks. It’s all about the same vibe, whether I’m behind the decks in a club or on stage sharing my process.
Talk about a surreal moment—flipping through the pages of Grazia and seeing my story in print felt like a total pinch me moment. The feature on 'The Do-It-Alls' really hit home for me because it wasn’t just about the music; it was about the hustle of wearing many hats. Whether I’m dropping beats in the studio or standing on the TEDx Mehrauli stage talking about the creative industry, the core is always the same: keeping it authentic and staying true to the groove.
Getting a shout-out in Bazaar India's '25 in 2025' culture list was another massive milestone that I’m still buzzing about. These features aren’t just badges to me—they’re proof that when you stay consistent with your sound, people notice. It’s all part of the journey from that first DJ gig in Manchester back in 2015 to where I am now. If you are looking for an artist who understands both the technical craft of music production and the culture that surrounds it, you are in the right place. Let’s create something that actually moves people.
