His popular tracks such as ‘Reload,’ ‘Calling (Lose My Mind),’ ‘More Than You Know,’ and ‘Sun Is Shining’ have been favourites among electronic music fans. His work with Swedish House Mafia on hits including ‘Don’t You Worry Child’ and ‘Save the World’ has also made him a familiar name in India’s electronic music scene.
