Introduced to music at an early age, he initially developed a strong interest in rhythm and practiced tabla during his formative years, which contributed to his refined sense of laya.

He has performed extensively at major music festivals and concert platforms in India and internationally, including regular appearances at the Pandit Motiram–Pandit Maniram Sangeet Samaroh.

In addition to live performance, he has an extensive discography encompassing classical, devotional, and thematic recordings, reflecting his commitment to preserving and disseminating traditional music in accessible formats. His participation as a playback singer in the mythological film Dashavatar further demonstrates his adaptability across musical contexts.
