Exploring Life Through Rhythm & Sound
Born and raised in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and now based in Austria, Bhindee Music is a musician whose journey of rhythm & culture has spanned over 20 years. Deeply inspired by the sacred essence of Shiva’s Drum (Damaru) and the Maheshwara Sutras, Bhindee weaves ancient rhythms with contemporary influences to create immersive experiences that transcend culture. Drawing from Zakir Hussain’s reflections on Shiva as the eternal cosmic dancer and the symbolic rhythm of the Damaru, Bhindee views sound as the bridge between spirituality, meditation, and human connection.
Bhindee Music’s passion for percussion ignited at age 11 when he first encountered the soulful resonance of the Dhol, the iconic Punjabi folk drum. This discovery marked the start of a lifelong exploration into indigenous percussion traditions and their universal language. Over the years, he has dedicated himself to preserving and reimagining the ancient sounds of traditional drums, seamlessly integrating them with global music and modern aesthetics.
Bhindee Music brings people together through electrifying performances that mix the high- energy beats of Bhangra with influences from around the world. His music goes beyond entertainment, creating moments of connection, joy, and self-discovery with every beat.
Beyond the stage, Bhindee Music is a passionate educator and community leader. He offers Dhol performances, Djembe workshops, and interactive drum circles that emphasize rhythm as a universal bridge to joy, purpose, and self-awareness. His philosophy—“It’s not just about how well you play, but the spirit, joy, and intention you bring to your art”—guides his approach to music as a tool for personal and collective transformation.
Over the years, Bhindee has had the privilege of performing across the globe, sharing his art in Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia, Philippines, Croatia, United Kingdom, India, Mauritius, and Austria. These diverse cultural experiences have deeply enriched his understanding of rhythm, music, and community.
Rooted in ancient Indian philosophies, Bhindee Music believes in sound as a medium for connection and healing. His workshops and performances create spaces where music becomes meditation, movement becomes healing, and rhythm becomes a shared language of unity.
Through his work, he fosters community and inspires participants to embrace the timeless rhythms of life and the universe.
Whether performing at international music festivals, teaching percussion to diverse audiences, or leading transformative drum circles, Bhindee’s art is a celebration of creation, destruction, and renewal—the eternal dance symbolized by Shiva’s Drum. Through his music, he encourages others to embrace life with passion, venture beyond traditional boundaries, and rediscover the sacred rhythms that connect us all.
