About

Main ek kalaakaar hoon (I'm an artist) and they call me the 'Tabla Beat Breaker'. For me, music starts with groove - if you want raw energy and soul in your track, that's my thing. I bring authentic Indian percussion to any recording, from bhajans to Bollywood.

What I Do

I record professional percussion tracks for producers, composers, and bands. My studio setup is built for crisp, seamless takes that fit right into your project. I travel to top studios, work with sound engineers, and collaborate with bands - not stuck in one place, because music is everywhere.

My Percussion Palette

  • Tabla recording for fusion tracks: From classical to high-tempo fusion and Bollywood, tabla is my main instrument.
  • Dholak rhythm for Punjabi music: Earthy, energetic, perfect for folk, Sufi, or pop.
  • Other percussion: Darbuka, hand drums, and whatever your vibe needs. If you want something specific, just ask.

Genres I Play

  • Bollywood percussion studio session (item numbers, romantic, whatever fits)
  • Devotional (bhajans, qawwali)
  • Sufi, mehfil, Punjabi folk & pop
  • Indian classical, fusion, contemporary

How I Work

Each session is a new koshish (fresh effort). Sometimes, I work solo, sometimes with my Papa ji and bhaiya - music is best made together. I love collaborating, listening, and finding that magic take.

Mausiki mein asli mazaa collaboration mein hai (the real joy of music is in collaboration).

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.
