My career in music as a live performer spans for over 10 years during which period I have performed as a pianist/keyboard player in various 5 Star/7 Star Hotels in the Middle East & African Countries with occasional vocal support. I have also performed with some of the leading Bollywood film personalities like Vinod Rathod, Shaan, Abhijeet, Udit Narayan, Mohammad Aziz, Shabbir Kumar, Johny Lever, Falguni Phatak, Kavita Kishnamurti, Anuradha Poudwal, Sunidhi Chauhan, Vaishali Samant, Lata Mangeshkar, Asha Bhosle, Jagjit Singh and Bali Bramhabhatt during their shows/cultural events held in India and abroad. I can also boast of having worked with Music Directors some of whom are Sajjid Wajid, Bhappi Laheri, Rajesh Roshan, Raju Singh and Bappi Tutul.

Along the way, I found the aspect of music programming and the technique of recording very alluring and inspiring. Today I can humbly state that I am pretty much adept in both of these although piano playing is still my forte. For the past few years, various projects which feature me as a performer/programmer as well as an arranger have been appreciated and well-received. Having come to grips with the intricacies and nuances of both programming & recording technique in a good measure, most of my projects are now worked out in my own DAW on my Mac Pro. The recording & post production software used me is Logic Pro. I am comfortable on Windows platform as well. Having been around for long has also helped me in being familiar to all genres of music – be in film songs, jazz or bhangra.
