I worked as FOH Engineer for India’s biggest Bollywood Musical called Zangoora – The Gypsy Prince and Franz Harary’s Mega Magic show at the prestigious Kingdom of Dreams theater in Gurgoan, India, where I ended up mixing some 200 odd shows of the musical. This was around 2010-2011. From 2011 to 2013 I worked as the Chief Sound Engineer & HOD for BlueFrog Media Pvt Ltd, a live performance indoor venue which hosted some very big international bands and bands from India as well.

I ended up mixing FOH, Monitors & System Engineering for some great artists like Bill Evans & Infected Mushroom, The Idan Raichel Project, Goldspot, Nitin Sawyney, Etienne Mbappe, Sean Kutty & Egypt Eighty, Gotye, David Broza, Mrigya, and Avial to name a few.

Dennis used the sE Rupert Neve RN17 to mic Anoushka Shankar’s sitar to capture the nuances of the instrument, and I was really blown away by how amazing the sitar sounded at a live gig. So that is how I was introduced to sE Electronics, and thats when I decided I needed to get a few sE mics when I mostly knew about the other “expensive” microphone brands…
