I heard rap for the first time in a school van. I was in Class 1 when our van driver, Uncle Patrick, would play Indian rap. This was before Honey Singh made the genre a household name. I didn’t understand rap then, but something about it stayed with me.

By Class 4, I heard Raftaar’s “Swag Mera Desi” and wanted to impress my friends, so I memorised the entire song. I knew nothing about flow or rhyme schemes. I just knew the words and thought it was cool. As my interest in music grew, my parents wanted me to focus on studies, and I moved from Mount Litera School to Hill Top School.

Then came lockdown. With nowhere to go, I started listening to rap properly. I researched artists and even listened during online classes. KR$NA’s “Say My Name”, in English and Hindi, caught my attention. I wondered how two languages could express the same meaning so seamlessly.

When lockdown ended, I wanted to rap, perform and create. I started performing in school, and seeing my passion, my father suggested I study music professionally.

After school, I joined the Audio Engineering in Music Production course at SACAC, Delhi. But moving away from Jamshedpur was harder than expected. I missed my friends, familiar places and home, so I started making music around that loneliness.

That is how Mr. Kalimati was born.

He became the title character of my first album, released in November 2025. I wasn’t prepared for the love I received. People of Jamshedpur showed up, celebrated the music and made me realise something simple: ghar ghar hota hai.

Once, even a Blinkit delivery guy recognised me. Later, at a small meetup, people came carrying gifts for me. I was honestly overwhelmed. Sometimes I feel that 50 shows in Delhi cannot match the love I receive at one show back home.

Today, I have my own studio, SONIC TAPE, in Delhi, and I’m exploring new characters through music. But Mr. Kalimati will always remain close to me. He never says “main”, he says “hum”.

I want to make music that speaks to people, achieve everything I dream of, but never leave the character, the city or my roots behind.

Because "what I once found cool is what I’m becoming."

So, what’s Home🏠?

I decided to buzz my hair off because I couldn’t get myself to go out ever since I’ve moved out my hometown Jamshedpur and shifted to Delhi. 😬

Having your life uprooted like this is difficult but we find ourselves along the way✨
