As a 5-year-old, Kahani used to sit on the kitchen counter of his childhood home recording mixtapes on an old radio cassette player. While jumping between New York's top radio stations and a single South Asian radio station, available only during certain hours of the day, the mixtapes were carefully crafted blends of two completely different worlds. This passion gave birth to his never-ending desire to merge the sounds of the east and west. Over the years he has experimented with live performances, incorporating live percussion and melodic instruments from his mother country of India. Kahani is a disruptor and innovator in the electronic and world music space, fusing global dance rhythms with a South Asian touch. Often residing in New York, he has founded a collective, Nonresident, and imprint label, Indo Warehouse, which curates emerging diaspora talent and gives them a foundation to collaborate on top-caliber sound. His unique sound curation has caught the attention of major artists, giving him the opportunity to open for the likes of DeadMau5 earlier this year, and Tech Panda / Kenzani in 2021. In 2019, he played his largest show to date at Terminal 5, New York to over 2,500 people and followed it with an 8-week residency in Tulum, Mexico during the 2020/2021 high season.
