It has been an exhilarating journey from small gigs in coffee shops to where I am today as the
lead singer of ‘On the rocks’ thanks to the loyalty and unwavering support of my audience. I have had the privilege of performing at many popular venues across Dubai and overseas. From private functions to corporate gigs both locally and internationally I have been lucky to connect with a diverse audience with varied age groups.
There are many highlights in my career so far but to name a few would be having the honour of opening for Bollywood’s leading music director duo Vishal Dadlani and Shekhar Ravjiani. I also had the privilege of performing pfor the legendary Ghulam Ali and shared the stage with popular artists in the Indian music industry including Gopi Sunder, Deepak Dev, A.R Rahman’s lead guitarist Keba Jeremiah, and Sana Moidutty.It was truly a humbling experience! I was lucky to be associated with the music launch of Baahubali 2 in Dubai and performing at Dubai’s prestigious ‘Sikka Art Fair’.
Opening for Ankit Tiwari at the Yas Mega Mela and being a part of the opening act for the renowned Shankar Ehsan and Loy was an unforgettable experience.
The current situation changed the dynamics of the entertainment industry but I have been very blessed to have the opportunity to perform virtually for well established founding institutions synonymous with art ,music and culture like Sangit Kala Kendra in Mumbai and Sangit Kala Mandir in Kolkota that boasts two and a half decades of showcasing eminent national and International talent.
Never in my wildest dreams did I ever imagine to perform for these institutions that saw the likes of legends such as Jagjit Singh, Mohammed Rafi,Kishore Kumar ,Sonu Nigam, Arijit Singh to name a few.
Most recently I virtually performed for Faisal Kapadia from the popular Pakistani band ‘Strings’, this just shows that music has no boundary.
The Lockdown has not slowed me down one bit, on the contrary, I have reached an even wider audience and gained the love and support of listeners from all over the world through virtual
performances both private and corporate.
At this moment in time my biggest accomplishment is the release of my second original composition after ‘Oye Rabba’ called Kehta hai Dil also launched by none other than Zee Music. I am very grateful that it garnered a fabulous response within a short span of time. There is no stopping for me. My primary purpose is to keep entertaining my wonderful audience through my music and trying to connect with them either live or virtually ensuring that they get nothing but the best performance because they are worthy of it.
