I am a professional bass guitarist, trumpeter, composer, and arranger based in Berlin, Germany, originally from India. I have had the privilege of collaborating with world-renowned artists, including L Subramanium (violin), Susheela Raman (UK-based independent singer), Avial (Indian alternative rock band), Asima Ensemble, Vidwan, and many others from around the globe. As a sought-after session musician, I have made significant contributions to the Indian film industry, particularly in Malayalam cinema, working alongside leading music composers such as Rex Vijayan, Sushin Shyam, Yakzan Gary Pereira, Neha Nair, and Gopi Sunder. I have also had the honor of working with acclaimed playback singers, including Shweta Mohan, Jyotsna, Gayathri, Naresh Iyer, K S Harishankar, Gowry Lekshmi, Neha Nair, Preeti Pillai, Anju Brahmasmi, and the legendary Kavita Krishnamurthy, adding depth to numerous concerts. Additionally, I have served as a music arranger for Job Kurian, a renowned independent music composer and singer from Kerala, bringing my creative expertise to enhance his musical vision. I also perform at freelance concerts and tour extensively with various artists, having showcased my talent at prestigious festivals like the Woodford Folk Festival (Australia) and Alchemy Music Festival (UK). Specializing in funk, jazz, R&B, and gospel, I frequently tour Europe, captivating audiences with my dynamic performances at concerts and collaborative projects.
