I am a Music Producer & Composer, Mixing & Mastering engineer, Sound Designer and Session Guitarist.
While that may sound like a lot of hats to wear, the journey I took to get here began in 2010, when I picked up my first instrument, the guitar. This led me to discover my passion in music and I formed my first band in 2014. Composing music together opened my eyes to my love of sound and I produced my first album in 2016. Never wanting to stop learning, I got my Degree in Sound Engineering and Music Technology from Seamedu, Pune, where I won multiple awards for production and composition. This allowed me to collaborate with many industry professionals and producers such as the very notable Ranjit Barot, and work with several high-level musicians such as Lindsay D’mello, and the award winners of Maharashtra’s Firodiya Karandak while also freelancing & producing music for Zee Music. I also got to work on award winning projects and was featured in Rolling Stones, India, for my work on Aakash Rajan’s EP, Life Is Fiction. After graduation, I started working with Gaurav Dagaonkar and his company Hoopr, producing, mixing and mastering music for content creators along with my partner Aditya Dere, forming the company Dere & Kotkar Productions, as well as working full-time at PocketFM doing sound design and music for audio stories. 
   My goal is to bring more music to the world and improve the average listener’s quality of music. I am a very hard worker with extreme attention to detail, I am always looking for ways to improve myself and make the world of sound and music a better place in my chase for excellence.
