My Approach to Fusion & Collaboration

Music keeps me curious - it's a journey, not a destination. What I enjoy most is seeing how the tabla can fit right in with all sorts of genres and artists. You put a Swedish drummer and a Mumbai tabla player together and something just happens. Those 'wah wah' moments are why I do this.

Where My Tabla Meets Other Sounds

I love mixing the traditional tabla with new genres. Whether it's jazz tabla fusion performance, hip-hop beats, or world percussion, I keep exploring fresh ideas. I've played in jazz meets Kathak shows, jammed live with folk artists, and even added tabla grooves to rap tracks. Sometimes, it’s all about the energy - kya baat hai (what a vibe) when it just clicks.

How We Can Work Together

• Live fusion sets, bringing tabla to the stage with other musicians for that real-time buzz.
• Creative jams and studio sessions where I add not just tabla but also cajon, shakers, and whatever brings the groove.
• Remote tabla recording sessions - happy to work online, send files, build tracks together no matter where you are.
• If you want something out-of-the-box, I love experimenting. I use Ableton Live to sample my own tabla, layer electronic sounds, and modify instruments for new textures.

Staying Rooted

As much as I experiment, my music stands on the tradition of the gurus and gharanas I’ve learned from. That foundation lets me push boundaries without losing what makes the tabla special.
