The person behind the mic
My start as a full-time MC, the gig challenge and a few conversations along the way.
I introduce my journey in the 2024 showreel, with clips of beatboxing, hosting and conversations on the mic.
I host on a colourful event stage and share my reminders about preparation, pace and keeping the show bigger than myself.
I look back at one of my early full-time MC events from 2023, filmed by my brother @adithyashekhar.
I talk to camera about attempting the 50 gigs in 100 days challenge and documenting the journey behind each event.
I reflect on my first gig challenge, with clips from corporate events, weddings and other stages along the way.
I sit down with Akshita Hegde for MIND OVER MATTRESS, sharing a teaser of our conversation beyond the event stage.
I share moments from performances and audience interaction while reflecting on why I keep putting my creative journey out there.
About Meet Sunil and His Gig Journey
One early event from 2023 was filmed by my brother and edited to an old beatboxing track of mine. That was the year I made hosting my full-time profession.
What keeps me doing this
I discovered beatboxing at 15. "The stage is where I come alive." The mic gives me a way to connect, whether I'm making music or hosting an event.
The 50 gigs in 100 days challenge is part of that journey. I started documenting the shows, behind-the-scenes moments and people in the event industry. The recap here is my own reflection on that attempt.
More than the performance
My hosting reminders are simple: prepare mindfully, slow it down and remember it's not about you alone. The audience and event team matter too.
MIND OVER MATTRESS takes the conversation away from the stage. The teaser here features Akshita Hegde, founder of Metamorphe.
I keep sharing the journey because messages from people pursuing creative work remind me why it matters.
