I’ve started my journey playing Dhol drum since the age of 12 years old. Being a tabla student, I’ve been able to catch up and translate my knowledge on to this drum. Few years later, started learning and perform professionally under the guidance of my master Ravin Dholi & Keeran D at the age of 15. The performing stage has always been my happy place! Gives me a lot of joy to promote Punjabi culture to various peoples from different background. I have travelled numerous times in Asian countries such as Thailand & Indonesia and of course other parts of our country Malaysia. Sharing the stage with local and international artist is something I never think off! Badshah, PBN, Manak E, Sardara Gill, Premi Johal, H Dhami, Jaz Dhami, Monsoon, Goldkartz, and Emcee AV with his band called AVaaZ. This is definitely a great journey into my drumming life and will look forward for more in the future. Proud Dhol drummer for Dhol Alliance.

Music has always piqued my interest since I was young. I've always wanted to focus on a long-term endeavour and I’ve always desired to accomplish something for which I can be commended and honoured. I've been playing the dhol since I was 14 years old, and I am very passionate about it till today. Being a female dhol player today has inspired a lot of other females to learn the instrument as well. As a member of the Dhol Alliance, I've had the chance to perform with well-known musicians and at significant events, which has allowed me to expand my network. Furthermore, to managing my responsibilities as a lawyer and a professional dhol player, playing the dhol has given me a passion and a way to succeed. I am able to apply what I have learnt to my career and personal life.
