MetroGnome: I don’t want to say that my sound is unique or that I have my own “signature” sound because I get inspired from a lot of different artists. And yes, I actually play them instead of using the sequencer with the exception of snare rolls and fills. People always ask me if I use the Maschine to make all my beats. As far as hardware is concerned, I use the NI Maschine and a Yamaha MOX8 Synthesizer to produce the majority of my songs. MetroGnome: I use Ableton Live to compose, edit, and mix. Although, I wouldn’t want to go out partying with friends, and dance to Bollywood music.ĮO:What equipment do you use to make music? You’ll mostly hear Electro or House music playing everywhere,or Bollywood, which is a lot of fun to dance to, especially at Indian weddings. In New Delhi, good bars close around 3:30am or 4am. Is it just me, or is that the time when parties actually start? Except everything closes at 1:30am, which still confuses me. You can actually go and start a conversation with anyone at a bar or a night club. MetroGnome: To start with, California girls are HOT. With music festivals like NH7, Fireflies, Submerge, SunBurn, Goa Trance etc., there’s a huge demand for underground electronic music in India as well.ĮO: What is the club life there and how is it different than where you currently live (California)? The only difference is that there are a lot of live bands (rock, alternative/progressive, fusion, metal, death metal), rather than electronic artists and DJs. MetroGnome: The music scene is as busy as you may think it is over here. Soon enough, I realized that it had already been too late for me to back out.ĮO: You were born and raised in India, Can you tell us what the music scene is like there and how that influenced your music today? So, I forced him to teach me the basics of it. Which got me thinking, if HE can do it, so can I. When I first heard it, I couldn’t believe that I personally knew someone who makes music.

My old friend, Mukul, who is also a music producer, showed me one of his beats back in 2006 (I barely knew him back then). Since the day I realized I had a sense of rhythm, I knew what I wanted to do in life. MetroGnome: Music has always been my passion. Check out our exclusive interview, his track and more below.ĮO: How did you get into producing music?
