The Sound of Success

It all started with my deep-rooted love for music since childhood. Playing tunes and making people groove always brought me immense joy. However, as I focused on my studies and career, my passion for music gradually took a backseat.

The turning point came when I moved to Bangalore. The city's vibrant nightlife and music scene reignited my passion for DJing. I found myself drawn back to the decks, eager to learn and refine my skills. I started playing gigs, not for fame or money, but to master the art and connect with people through music.

What truly inspired me was the sheer energy of the crowd—the way music can uplift, unite, and create unforgettable moments. That feeling pushed me to continue, and today, I proudly balance my IT career by day and my DJing passion by night.

Breaking into the club scene was one of the toughest challenges I faced in my DJ career. In the beginning, getting an opportunity to play at a club felt like an uphill battle. I had to start by performing on weekdays, often without any payment, just to introduce my music to the crowd and prove my worth.

It was a slow and testing phase, but I never gave up. As days passed, people started appreciating my music, and club owners noticed how my sets were drawing in more energy and engagement. Business improved for the clubs, and eventually, I was given the chance to perform on weekends.

To set myself apart, I continuously evolved my style. I incorporated multiple instruments like drums, synthesizers, and even the mouth organ into my sets, adding a unique live element to my performances. I also introduced visual sets to enhance the audience experience, making each performance more immersive.

The journey wasn’t easy, but persistence, innovation, and my passion for music helped me overcome these struggles. Every challenge turned into a lesson, and today, I stand proud of how far I have come.

One of the biggest challenges I faced in my DJ career was the lack of financial support. When I started, I wasn’t earning anything from music, so I had to rely entirely on my IT job to sustain myself. Balancing both professions was extremely demanding—I worked in IT during the day and played in clubs at night, often performing without pay just to build my name in the industry.

It took me four years of relentless effort before I earned my first salary as a DJ. During this period, my sleep cycle took a major toll. Juggling long work hours and late-night gigs was exhausting, but my passion for music kept me going.

Despite the challenges, I never lost focus. I managed my time efficiently, made sure to improve my skills continuously, and invested in upgrading my performances. Eventually, my persistence paid off, and I started getting recognition, better opportunities, and financial stability in my DJ career.

Managing both my IT profession and my DJ career has been one of my biggest achievements. It wasn’t easy to juggle both, but my dedication and love for music kept me going. After four years of playing music purely out of passion, I finally started getting paid for my performances. That first paycheck as a DJ was a milestone, proving that hard work and persistence pay off.

Getting the opportunity to play in cities like Toronto and Halifax was a dream come true. It gave me exposure to a global audience and helped me grow as an artist. To elevate my performances, I integrated live instruments like drums, synthesizers, and the mouth organ into my DJ sets. This unique approach helped me stand out and connect with my audience on a deeper level.

From struggling to get a club gig to now being recognized for my music and style, I’ve built my own space in the industry. The appreciation and energy I receive from the crowd make every struggle worthwhile.

Moving forward, my goal is to create my own unique sound—something that truly defines me as an artist. I want to produce original music that not only resonates with people but also makes them groove to my beats.

Beyond just DJing, I aim to explore music production on a deeper level, blending different genres and live instruments to craft a distinctive sonic experience. My vision is to take my music to bigger platforms, perform at international festivals, and connect with a global audience through my sound.
