Bollywood - almost any past or present. If a song request is given to me in good time before the show I guarantee to do it, no matter whether it is a latest one or an oldie.

Bhangra - again as per request we perform Punjabi songs as well Bhangra and other. We can arrange music for your Sangeet/Mehndi and I will bring a special Punjabi singer if required.

Raas Garba - Again this is one of my specialisms so all I can say is if you love your Garba then you won't stop dancing with us.

Bhajans - For Mandirs, for Shraddhanjalis, or any Bhajan event.

English - can be arranged please talk to me.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best gig you've ever done and the best venue you've ever worked at?

Best gig is not defined by venue it would be when I am playing with the perfect mix of artists in a band and have a good audience. I have done some very good new years parties (Bollywood upbeat and dance) some very good mehfils (Bollywood old songs), I have played religious songs in large Kathas in Leicester and Birmingham and I have played Raas garba all over the country. I have been all over the UK from Scotland to Portsmouth to Wales to Great Yarmouth. International - Sweden, italy, india and USA.


What's your favourite type of event?

Concert/Ticket show.


What's your previous experience and how did you start gigging?

From the age of 12, I myself have been a keyboard player (musician) since then and I started singing about 10 years ago.


Which artists have you been most influenced by, who is your favourite artist and what is the greatest song of all time?

G.S.O.A.T is impossible, too many songs. In golden era artists, in terms of singers it is M. Rafi, Mukesh, Kishore Kumar, Lata Mangeshkar, Asha Bhosle, Mahendra Kapoor, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and others. In current artists it is Sonu Nigam, Udit Narayan, Kumar Sanu, A.R. Rehman, Kavita Krishnamurthy, Alka Yagnik, Shreya Ghoshal, Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, Arijit Singh, Atif Aslam, Kirtidhan Gadhvi, Osman Mir.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

Setup is 1-1.5 hours, show time we do max of 4 hours usually. This can be adjusted.


Are you happy to perform outside?

If the weather is warm and we have a flat stage/ground to perform on (not a cover on the grass).


Do the clients have a say in what you play or is it a set repertoire list only?

Yes we do requests and you can give us your requests before the show, as long as it is about 3-4 weeks before the show. You can also request during the show. For weddings I always ensure the couple are happy with the songs before the day.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

My USP is my singing which I believe is unique as I am a musician as well and have put in the time to learn, this is most appreciated by people. I can do old songs so that people who love old songs enjoy them, but I can also have people dancing to the latest tracks. At one of my gigs last year I sang some new songs which usually local artists do not sing, and young people and teenagers were listening and recording me. So I pride myself on versatility.
