Exploring Life Through Rhythm & Sound
Hailing from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and now based in Austria, Bhindee Music is a musician with over 20 years of experience exploring rhythm and culture. He blends traditional rhythms with modern influences, creating immersive musical experiences that transcend boundaries. Inspired by Shiva as the eternal cosmic dancer and the symbolic rhythm of the Damaru, Bhindee believes sound has the power to unite people, fostering deep connections and shared experiences.
Bhindee’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 beginning of a lifelong journey into the world of percussion and its universal language. Over the years, he has dedicated himself to preserving and reimagining traditional drum sounds, seamlessly integrating them with global music and contemporary aesthetics.
Bhindee Music brings people together through electrifying performances that fuse 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 is a passionate educator and community leader. He offers dhol lessons, handpan concerts, djembe workshops, and interactive drum circles, using 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, the Philippines, Croatia, Germany, the 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 sees sound as a powerful medium for connection. His workshops and performances create spaces where music becomes meditation, movement becomes expression, 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, step beyond traditional boundaries, and rediscover the sacred rhythms that connect us all.
