Akshai's Music
Pulsing with spirituality and wit, Akshai’s versatile technology-driven set uses interactive techniques such as such as live recording, laptops and live remixing and elevates the 'clubbing experience' as we know it to a whole new level.
Not restrained to any one genre, Akshai's music encompasses influences from his travels around the world, amalgamating different techniques to create unique sounds and styles. Akshai got his first keyboard at age 8, began training on the tabla at 11, and was experimenting with innovative new sounds and making his own 'turntables' and music mixer at the age of 14. By the time he turned 16, Akshai was composing songs for his first album “Soundscapes.”
Albums:
On the Indian front, Akshai has released the album “The Ultimate Ahah” (Sonymusic) and contributed two tracks for the album for Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham (Sonymusic), including the hit international version of Suraj Hua Maddham. The same track is on the OST for the film “Kaal”as well. He has two more nternationally released albums on independent label Punarnava.

Akshai has been featured extensively in the media, both internationally and at home, including BBC Radio, Timeout and Virgin Radio. Leading Indian media like the Times of India, TimesNOW, Hindustan Times, Indian Express, Economic Times, MidDay, The Hindu, The Deccan Chronicle and Go92.5Fm have covered him as well.
Recent News:
