Yes, I provide my own sound setup. I do not provide lighting equipment.

Yes, I can play Spotify music before and between my sets, based on the event’s vibe.

One of my best gigs was performing at a beachside Indian wedding in Goa, India.
I’ve also had the opportunity to open for artists like Shirley Setia and The Bolly Jammers.

My favourite events are music and socializing kind of gatherings where people are just hanging out, but there’s still good live acoustic music in the background. I really enjoy it when there’s a bit of jamming or interaction with the audience, and eventually people start singing along and getting into the vibe.

In undergrad, I formed a band and started performing quite a lot, which is really how I got into live music. After that, I moved back to my hometown and continued gigging as a solo performer for about 3–4 years. During that time, I performed regularly at various venues and built a lot of experience doing live acoustic sets almost every other day.

I’ve been most influenced by artists like KK, Arijit Singh, Shilpa Rao, Prateek Kuhad, Anuv Jain, Sona Mohapatra, and also the timeless music of Kishore Kumar along with compositions by A R Rahman, Salim Sulaiman, and Vishal Shekhar.
My favourite artist is KK. His voice and emotional depth have always stood out to me.
If I had to pick the greatest songs of all time, I’d say Tere Hawale, Phoolon Ke Rang Se, Kasoor, and so many more.

My typical setup and sound check time is around 1.5 hours to get everything ready and balanced.
My performance time is usually around 2.5 hours, with one short break in between sets.

Yes, I can perform outside depending on the weather. If it’s very chilly, it can be difficult to play guitar comfortably. Shaded outdoor setups are fine, but I prefer not to perform in direct strong sun.

I perform from a curated acoustic setlist, but I’m always open to requests and can adjust the songs depending on the event’s vibe and audience energy.

Clients usually describe my performances as soulful, fun, and engaging. They especially enjoy my mashups and the way I blend songs instead of singing full tracks, which keeps the set lively and fresh.
