Zomb is a singer/songwriter from Mumbai with over a decade of performing experience and noteworthy achievements in India as well as Europe/USA.

As a child, Zomb has performed Indian Classical vocal on national Television and Radio.

Introduced to rock music in his teens, Zomb went on to form one of India’s biggest heavy metal bands called Metakix. In the 11 years that he fronted Metakix as lead singer, guitarist and songwriter, the band released several singles and two full length albums, which were well received in Asia, Europe and USA.

Also, during the time, Zomb was featured in documentaries by BBC and ARTE in Europe and USA.

His music video has been aired on channels like VH1 and his music has received airplay in several radio stations around the globe.

Another feather in his cap is that his songwriting skills earned him a mention in the book Soundscapes by Prof. Kay Shelemay (Dept. of Music), Harvard University, USA.

Zomb also composed the title score for reality television youth game show Bindaas for India’s biggest film production house – UTV.

Recently, Zomb announced the launch of his solo career and continues to play his new material in the hippest clubs in Mumbai. Despite the little exposure the Indian audience has had to his recent music, already a few filmmakers and key promoters have shown interest in his work.

Zomb’s music has instant appeal. Mainly because it is minimalistic, spirited and straight from the heart – sounding completely original! The music comprises of powerful lyrics (in English) and soulful multi-octave singing backed by an acoustic guitar rhythm with effects for textures.
