Hi I'm Swami-G! I am a Producer, DJ and Musician from Winston-Salem, NC. My ethnic background is Indian (Gujurati) and African (Uganda). I have grown up with music all of my life and now I am blessed to share my art with you!
I perform for all events and venues! Some of the events I perform for are weddings, mock weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, corporate events, open format bars/clubs, lounges/coffee shops, underground raves and anything in-between. I have opened for Indian Idol winner Chetna Bhardwaj!
I started a music early with my father teaching me how to play harmonium and tabla/dholka. I began music production in the early 2000's when I was in middle school and have been in love with sound engineering ever since! I have 15+ years of experience in music production, sound engineering, sound/mixer configuration, sound system tuning, performing sitar, DJing, live recording and more! I primarily DJ and produce EDM, Bollywood and Hip-Hop/Rap Remixes and Original songs.
I started learning sitar since 2013 from Tony Karasek, who trained and toured live with Ravi Shankar! I am honored to own and play an original 1960s Naskar sitar and recently on an electric sitar that I custom made myself. I perform live sitar at venues such as Hotel of Americas in Houston, holiday events like Diwali, Indian Festivals, university events, Aga Khan Foundation Charity events, weddings, private parties, expos and more! I have been playing sitar since 2013 and would love to bring my talent to your next event! I provide both acoustic and electric sitar options for all kinds of custom or fusion needs!
