About DJ Nawed:

DJ Nawed is one of the biggest names in the effervescent DJ scene of India. Over the years, Nawed has distinguished himself as a producer of several super hit songs for the Indian music industry and the alternate remix market. Nawed’s work has been a part of some of the biggest names in Bollywood: Yash Raj Films, Sanjay Gupta’s White Feather Films, and Shahrukh Khan’s Red Chilies Entertainment.

He’s a regular feature in clubs across India and the Middle East. He has performed in Calcutta, Mumbai, Bangalore, Goa, Delhi and Chennai. More recently, he has packed clubs in Dubai, Kenya, South Africa, Indonesia, Hong Kong, and Bahrain.

On a recent six-city tour in the USA, Nawed played at Aqua Lounge in Los Angeles, Club Mist in San Francisco, and Illusions in San Jose; all of which were sold out weeks in advance of his arrival.

Beneath DJ Nawed’s friendly smile and easy going nature is a wealth of musical knowledge and technical skill. He began playing professionally in 1999, and in a relatively short period of time has amassed a music collection and a reputation which is the envy of many a seasoned veteran. In Nawed’s formative years, Mumbai’s club scene erupted with house fusion blends. He found himself drawn to that bass line-driven sound of artists like Snap, Stereo MC’s, and Stonebridge amongst others. It is no surprise that Nawed is now the name to reckon with for rhythmic House mixes of Bollywood tunes.

DJ Nawed returns to the USA to play alongside the US-based premier triple-threat, Bollywood DJ, singer, and dancer, Prashant.
