When and how did you get into DJing?

I got into DJing during the summer of 2007 — what started as a simple hobby to explore over summer vacation quickly turned into a life-changing passion. I was instantly drawn to the energy of mixing tracks, controlling the vibe of a room, and watching people lose themselves in the music. What began as curiosity soon became a calling. Over time, I dove deeper into the craft, experimenting with different genres, learning the art of reading the crowd, and refining my sound.

From that one summer, a journey began — one filled with late-night gigs, unforgettable crowds, constant learning, and a deep love for music. And the rest, as they say, is history.

Do you produce your own music, or remix existing tracks?

Yes, I produce my own music — crafting sounds that reflect my journey, energy, and the vibe I want to share with the world. I was also a faculty member at one of India’s leading DJ institutes for over six years, where I had the privilege of mentoring and shaping the next generation of DJs. Teaching not only deepened my technical knowledge but also gave me a fresh perspective on the art of performance.

In addition to producing original tracks, I love remixing existing songs — reimagining them with a new-age twist, blending genres, and infusing them with a fresh sound that connects with today’s audience. Whether it’s behind the console, in the studio, or in a classroom, music is where I thrive — and I’m constantly evolving with it.

What’s something unique about you that sets you apart from other DJs?

I don’t believe in sticking to pre-made setlists — instead, I read the pulse of the room, feel the energy of the crowd, and let the vibe guide me. Every event, every audience, every moment is different, and I love the spontaneity that comes with adapting in real time. It’s not just about playing tracks — it’s about creating a journey, one beat at a time. I tune into the emotions, reactions, and rhythm of the people in front of me, crafting a set that feels alive, dynamic, and unforgettable. That’s where the magic happens — in the connection, not the plan.

What’s your go-to track to get the crowd hyped?

“Ishq” by Sukhbir never fails to lift the energy. I always look for tracks that spark nostalgia or evoke a strong reaction from the crowd — something they instantly connect with.

What cities and countries have you performed in so far?

So far, my journey as a DJ has taken me to 19 countries, allowing me to perform for diverse audiences across borders — each experience adding new energy, inspiration, and growth to my craft. From international events to exclusive private shows, the global stage has truly shaped my sound and presence.

Within India, I’ve had the privilege of performing across almost every region, connecting with crowds of all kinds — from high-energy festivals and luxury weddings to campus gigs and corporate gatherings. Every stage, every crowd, and every vibe has helped me evolve, making this journey nothing short of incredible.

Describe your sound in 3 words?

Upbeat, Groovy & Peppy.

Favorite clubs you would love to play or have played?

Bora Bora, Ibiza has always been a dream and one of the most iconic places I’ve had the chance to experience. The energy, the crowd, and the global vibe there are unmatched. I’ve always been drawn to venues that are known not just for their sound systems, but for the culture they create around music. I would love to perform at legendary clubs and beach venues across Europe, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia — places where music becomes a lifestyle and every set tells a story. Whether it’s an intimate rooftop, a beachside lounge, or a massive club night, I’m always excited to bring my sound to spaces that celebrate rhythm, connection, and energy.
