MKSHFT began establishing his unique sound in 2016 by releasing remixes of classic Bollywood tracks, swiftly gaining global recognition for his distinctive fusion of Electronic Dance Music (EDM) with traditional Indian influences. His professional career quickly progressed with the 2017 release of the single ‘Juda,’ an EDM track that garnered significant online support and coverage from influential publications including Dancing Astronaut, Grapevine, and Bangin Beats, marking his strong entry into the electronic music scene. Demonstrating a consistent evolution, MKSHFT collaborated with renowned Indian singer Shilpa Rao on the track ‘Maahi’ in 2018. The same year, he contributed production work to ‘Slowly Slowly,’ a high-profile joint effort between American rapper Pitbull and Indian singer-songwriter Guru Randhawa.
This track achieved immediate global success, accumulating 38 million views within 24 hours of its release and subsequently surpassing 150 million total views, significantly expanding MKSHFTs reach to an international audience and solidifying his position as a sought-after producer. MKSHFT is known for his unique musical style, which extends beyond EDM and traditional Indian sounds to incorporate diverse influences from comic books and video games. His work has been acknowledged by influential DJs and has received airplay on BBC Radio, marking his presence within both the electronic and global music scenes. Performing behind a mask, MKSHFT maintains anonymity, allowing his music to be the primary focus and aligning with other DJs who adopt hidden identities to amplify their artistic expression and musical impact over personal recognition.
This strategic approach has proven effective in amplifying his unique sound and securing his position in the electronic music landscape. With a proven track record of high-profile international collaborations and measurable success in reaching a wide, global audience, MKSHFT continues to build on his distinctive brand and impact as a globally recognized producer and DJ.
