Every time I play in the studio, it’s an "ek koshish" (one honest attempt) to bring a real vibe and respect for tradition into your music. I’m all about keeping things asli (authentic) - no filters, just pure sound. ### What I Do I offer tabla session recording in Mumbai and Delhi, for anyone wanting that raw, rich tabla groove. Producers, composers, artists - I’m here to collaborate, not just play. I’ll come to your studio, set up my own top-grade tablas, and help you find the rhythm that fits your song. ### Experience in the Studio - Recorded for albums spanning Hindustani classical, ghazals, and Indian fusion studio work. - Spiritual music tabla tracks are close to my heart - I’ve worked on big kirtan projects with respected musicians. - Comfortable with music video shoots - I’m used to playing in front of the camera and handling digital sessions. ### My Style & Approach My roots are in the Punjab Gharana, so classical music session artist work comes naturally. But I love mixing it up - from ghazals to fusion, blending tabla with drums, keys, guitars, whatever brings something naya (new) to the table. ### Studio Vibe When recording, I work closely with you and the sound engineer. I’m serious about getting the right take, setting up mics properly, and focusing on the *taal* (rhythm cycle). Collaboration is top priority, and I’m always open to new ideas. ## Highlights Browse through Surjeet Singh's best work. ### [Featured](https://mytribe.in/surjeetsinghofficial_/studio-recording-session-work/featured) - [Video: Here is a glimpse of me in the studio, completely focused on getting the right take.
