About

I see rhythm everywhere, and for me, every beat is a new story. As a fusion tabla artist, I mix old-school Indian percussion with today's hits and global sounds. My music is always a 'new koshish' (new effort) - something fresh but rooted in what my Papa ji (father) taught me.

What I Bring to Your Event

  • Big band energy - If you want a concert vibe, I perform with ‘Saaz-e-Mehfil’ and other musicians. Think vocals, keyboard, guitars, flute, drums with my tabla and dholak. Killer for weddings, sangeets, and when you want guests to feel the music in their bones.
  • Fusion tabla performance for weddings and parties - I do live covers, mashups, and modern fusion with Bollywood, Punjabi, and South Indian tracks. Gets everyone on the dance floor.
  • Sufi and devotional - I regularly perform at bhajan sandhyas, mata ki chowki, Khatu Shyam Bhajans, and Sufi mehfils with qawwalis. If you’re after soulful or spiritual vibes, I can set the mood.
  • Solo hand drum sets - Sometimes, all you need is a solo tabla or dholak to bring that classical touch, perfect for intimate or formal moments.

Instruments & Experience

  • Main focus: Tabla and dholak, but I play darbuka and other hand percussion too.
  • I travel for gigs - from Ranchi to Jaipur, even Dubai. No space is too big or small for good music.

If you want energy, soul, and a bit of desi swag in your event, I’m ready. Har Har Mahadev.

My Story

Om sai ram! Music runs in my veins, thanks to Papa ji—my guru, my everything. Recording with him, performing with my band Saaz-e-Mehfil, or just jamming with friends, that’s my life. I always say, 'Zindagi mein aap jaise pita ho to usey bhagya kehte hain!' (If you have a father like you in life, it's called fortune!) Teaching at Rythem Home Music Academy and seeing students find their groove is pure joy. Wherever I go, my tabla goes—Udaipur, Dubai, doesn’t matter. Happiness is rhythm.

My Work

Tabla Classes & Group Lessons - I teach tabla to all levels at Rythem Home Music Academy. Group tabla lessons feel like family time.

Fusion & Bollywood Tabla Performances - Love mixing classical teentaal with Bollywood tabla covers, Sufi qawwali, and devotional bhajan performances.

Live Shows & Band Gigs - Catch me with Saaz-e-Mehfil or other artists, doing live tabla band shows. The crowd’s energy is unbeatable.

Studio Recordings - Available for studio work on tabla and dholak, always hunting for new patterns and sounds.
