A LITTLE ABOUT ME

A voice you know.
A person to know.

I’m a Dubai-based host, radio presenter, event emcee, DJ, voiceover artist and content creator. You’ll find me on City1016, on a stage, in a conversation, or somewhere I haven’t been before.

I bring a broadcaster’s instinct, sharp desi humour and a genuine love of people to everything I do. Energy for the audience. Precision for the organiser. A memorable experience for both.

From Jodhpur to Dubai, the dream got bigger.
