🎹My journey in music started at the age of 3 years old, when I began playing the piano and soon after, the guitar. I have been performing on stage in front of people for over 15 years, and I put my heart and soul into it. For over 4 years since 2019, I have been a musician at Groningen's famous "Huis De Beurs" restaurant , and a pianist at the Van der Velde bookstore. Over the past years, I have played at various weddings, parties, and venues, some of which can be seen in my introduction video.
🎤I am told that I have a "musical ear" since I can listen to a song once and play it immediately on the guitar or piano. I can also improvise on the spot which means that I play random tunes on the piano that comes to my mind as I am playing.
Overall, music is my passion and it is what makes me who I am. I have over 100 songs in my repertoire, some examples of which I have included below:
I am always willing to learn new songs ofcourse depending on the request and preference of my customer.
Additionally, I can also sing Hindi/ Urdu songs upon request!

Yes, I'd be happy to play music from Spotify before, after and between my sets. Id be pleased to choose the music myself or let the client choose the music to their liking :)
One of my favorite gigs i've done has been at the restaurant I worked in for more than 4 years, when i lived in Groningen. Located in the heart of Groningen, the Huis de Beurs will always have a special place in my heart. It is where I started my live musical career when I moved to the Netherlands. Every week from Thursdays to Sunday evening, I would perform either as a pianist, or singer/ guitarist. It would be a wonderful evening each time as people seemed to quite enjoy the songs i sang/ played.
It also helped me grow as a musician. Plus, when people would come up from time to time, and appreciate my music, it would always make me more happy and determined to continue perusing my passion, and doing what I love the most, that is, playing music.
Now, since I have relocated to Amsterdam since November 2023, I am continuing my passion for music in this beautiful city!
Particularly, I love performing at weddings. There's something very special about being able to make music on what probably is a couple's happiest day yet. Seeing everyone happy, dressed up and in good spirit, always brings a smile to my face as well.
All events however are something I enjoy, mainly because I get to do something I love the most; play music. And the best part of all of this, is meeting new people and making new friends!
I have been a musician since I was very young. I started playing the piano and singing when I was three years old (25 now). Since before my teenage, I started performing in my home country at small events, and especially on almost all school events. I was also part of the school band for some years.
When I moved to the Netherlands back in 2018, I began performing at bars and different parties, but as a regular job I was a musician at the Huis de Beurs, and the Van der Velde Bookstore in Groningen, for 5 years.
There are many that come to mind. Simon and Garfunkel, Elvis, Ed sheeran, John mayer, John Denver. And more as well. All of these have influenced me in different ways. From the amazing harmonies of Simon and Garfunkel, to the beautiful song writing from John denver, each artist has had a unique and different influence on me, and naturally also my music nature as well.
Usually I like to arrive roughly 20 minutes before the start of the performance. If required, I can bring my own equipment. One set is around 45-50 minutes and I play according to how the customer requests. Performances many times go above the agreed time, and that is no issue. In the end, its about having a good time and enjoying together. That's what drives my passion, and makes me happy!
Yes, as long as the weather permits, I have no issues performing outside
Indeed, I have a list of around 70 + songs which I share with clients. They can choose from the list, or if the performance is requested well within time, I can also prepare new songs
Clients usually describe my voice as very sweet, and they especially enjoy when some of their classic favorites are played
