Collaborative Tabla & Percussion Sessions
Music is a conversation. Whether it is jamming with my Papa ji or recording with talented industry peers, I believe the best rhythms are born when we create together.

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.
Recording in the studio feels different from a live stage performance, but the goal remains the same: capturing the soul of the music. When I work on projects across Delhi and NCR, I prioritize the space in your track. My sessions are collaborative and open; if you have a specific vision for a breakdown or a fusion hook, let's build it together.
I specialize in layering multitrack stems, ensuring you have full control during the mixing process. From the warm, earthy tone of a dholak to the crisp, technical precision of tabla, I bring my full percussion palette to your composition. My foundation is in Indian classical music, which allows me to bring depth to commercial tracks, whether it is a romantic number, a qawwali, or a modern pop song.
I am always hunting for that fresh 'koshish' or new sound that makes a track stand out. If you are looking for a percussionist who listens, experiments, and delivers clean, professional stems for your next project, let's talk.

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.
