ABOUT
The Beginning
I was twelve when I started recording in my bedroom. A Fostex four-track recorder, one Shure SM58, and more curiosity than technique. I wasn't trying to become a producer—I was trying to understand why some sounds stayed with me long after the music had stopped.
Discovering Music
Guitar came first by instinct. I learnt by listening, copying records, making mistakes and starting again. Years later, the conservatory gave names to things I already felt. Harmony didn't replace emotion; it simply explained why it moved me. At the same time, I discover and started learning Tabla with great Maestro in Varanasi, Bombay and Delhi.
Building The Whole Picture
Studying sound engineering changed the way I listened. Composition, arrangement, recording and mixing stopped feeling like separate disciplines. They became different ways of telling the same story. Every decision—from the first melody to the final mix—became part of a single conversation.
Based in Mumbai, I am currently working on new original releases while collaborating with singers, filmmakers and live performers across India.
MUSIC PRODUCTION
It feels like music is already there. Composing is less about inventing than earing it inside. Like an archaeologist carefully uncovering a fossil, I try to reveal what was already there, removing everything that doesn't belong. Perhaps that's why music connects us, it gives shape to something we all recognise, even if we can't always name it.

Original music for films, documentaries, advertising, visual projects and artists.

My approach is deliberately simple: good musicians, good instruments, good microphones
