KSHMR is renowned for his electrifying live performances, which elevate electronic music to a theatrical and immersive experience. His gigs are characterized by their cinematic storytelling, stunning visuals, and seamless blend of live instrumentation with high-energy EDM beats.
Before launching his solo career, KSHMR was part of the hip-hop production duo The Cataracs, producing hits like Far East Movement’s “Like a G6.” In 2014, he transitioned to EDM, debuting under the KSHMR moniker with tracks like “Megalodon” and “Burn” (with DallasK). His unique style quickly gained recognition, and hits like “Jammu,” “Secrets”(with Tiësto), and “Karate” (with R3HAB) established him as a pioneer in the genre, seamlessly blending orchestral, ethnic, and electronic elements.
In 2017, KSHMR founded Dharma Worldwide, a label dedicated to promoting global music and emerging talent. The label reflects his commitment to diversity, spotlighting sounds and artists from around the world. Known for his storytelling, KSHMR often infuses his tracks with emotional depth and cinematic narratives, as seen in his concept album Harmonica Andromeda (2021), which received widespread critical acclaim.
Drawing inspiration from his Indian heritage, KSHMR often incorporates cultural elements into his shows, from traditional Indian instruments like the tabla and sitar to intricate visual designs that evoke mythical and cinematic landscapes. His performances are more than just DJ sets—they’re dynamic productions that create a journey for the audience, weaving emotional narratives through sound and imagery.
KSHMR has headlined some of the world’s biggest music festivals, including Tomorrowland, Ultra Music Festival, and Electric Daisy Carnival.
