About With Industry Peers & Family

When you book a studio session with me, you are not just getting a percussionist who hits the beat on time. You are getting someone who understands the nuances of layering, from the delicate patterns of a classical teentaal to the high-energy drops needed for Bollywood fusion. Whether I am working solo or layering dholak and darbuka, my focus is on finding the groove that complements your melody, not just filling space.

Music runs in my veins, and I owe everything to my Papa ji, my first guru. I live to create, whether it is teaching at my academy or jumping into a studio session with fellow artists. For me, a great track is about the groove we find together.
