With the festival of colours almost here, there is a lot of good music that will come along with it, and KSHMR is going to be among those performing this time across India

Before he was lighting up festival stages as KSHMR, American musician and DJ Niles Hollowell-Dhar was already behind some of pop culture’s biggest bangers including the global party anthem ‘Like A G6’. But it was as KSHMR that he truly turned the volume up on his identity, blending cinematic EDM drops with rich cultural textures to create a sound that feels larger than life.
Born in California to a Kashmiri father, his connection to India runs deeper than most realise. Visits to his grandparents sparked a rediscovery of his roots and that pride didn’t just stay personal, it made its way into his music. That’s exactly what he’s bringing to India on his five-city tour this Holi.
