There is no greater teacher than loved worldly experience. This is something that Shrey Kaboo (KABU) is all too familiar with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While born in India, KABU<\/a> moved to Dubai at a young age before eventually coming to the United States to continue his music career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His worldly experiences have helped him shape his own sound and influence the person he has become today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While never forgetting his roots, his music pays homage to his Indian heritage while carrying with it an international vibe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Born to Kashmiri Pandit parents in New Delhi, KABU was made aware of the struggles his parents endured at a young age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instilling in him a love for the Kashmiri culture was important, however, his childhood was marked with many relocations due to his parent’s work, giving him a unique view of Indian culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eventually ending up in Dubai, where KABU\u2019s musical journey really took off, he set a goal for himself to attend the prestigious Berklee College of Music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Achieving his lofty goal, the Indian musician graduated from Berklee with a Bachelor of Music in Electronic Production and Design and continued his successful career in the US.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While his style is shaped by the many places he has lived, KABU\u2019s music hearkens back to his origins paying homage to the beautiful sounds of South Asia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He sat down with us today to discuss his international upbringing and burgeoning career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Honouring
KABU in his element \u2013 Bringing electrifying energy to the crowd as he spins a dynamic set<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What does it mean to be Kashmiri to you?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

KABU:<\/strong> To me, Kashmiri Pandits are simple, kind-hearted and intellectual people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But there is always this feeling of unsettlement, especially for my parents\u2019 and grandparents\u2019 generation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have been scattered all across India and the world but yet hold on to the traditions we are proud of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For me, being Kashmiri is as simple as sharing a meal with family\u2014having Tschetschot aur Mongal Chai<\/em> for breakfast, Rogan Josh and Mutsch<\/em> for lunch, and Katlam aur Sheer Chai<\/em> with Warimuth<\/em> for dinner, all while sitting cross-legged on a carpet, surrounded by loved ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are of course incredibly expressive by nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How have your Kashmiri roots influenced your life and music?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Part of the expressiveness of Kashmiris shows in how the energy naturally flows in my music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Growing up I expressed myself through other forms such as sketching and artwork, always needing an outlet for my creativity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now I do it through my music, I am lucky to be able to express myself so freely, and thank my Kashmiri roots for that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How about your actual upbringing?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I come from a middle-class family with a complex history, but they always encouraged me to be my best self.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think that this is reflected in my music which is high-energy, vibrant and sometimes dreamy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having a family that supported my creativity has given me the ability to express myself through my music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But India has always remained close to my heart, and thanks to moving around so much I have an appreciation for the musical elements of different regions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I love to incorporate elements from Hindi, Gujarati, Tamil, or Telugu music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Did your parents provide impetus for your music career?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In many ways yes! It is thanks to them that I had a drum set at home, along with the lessons in Dubai and ultimately the chance to study at Berklee College of Music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They always worked incredibly hard to make sure I could chase my dream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I will always be incredibly grateful for their support of my goals and everything they may have sacrificed to do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What do your parents think of you becoming a DJ?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Honestly, at first, I think they saw it as an act of independence. It was a notion or an idea that they didn\u2019t take too seriously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Knowing that it wasn\u2019t an easy career path and there would be struggles they were cautiously supportive of me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, they have seen my growth on social media as well as increased success on all platforms and I think this has proven to them that I am committed to making this dream a reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like any good parents they still have their concerns, but they support me fully because they can tell that becoming a successful DJ is my ultimate goal!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How many cities in India did you live in growing up? Which one affected you the most and why?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I lived in Delhi and Mumbai, but I think I was shaped the most by Delhi as it was where I spent most of my childhood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I made lifelong friends there and went to multiple schools. It is a place where I had many formative life experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, Mumbai was special in a different way. It was where I was introduced to the film industry at the age of 8.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was so incredibly inspiring, to see the endless possibilities and know that there could be a future in a creative industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Delhi has shaped me more, both cities have had a profound effect on my personality and my music in their own unique way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Honouring
KABU blends his Kashmiri heritage with international sounds, shaping his unique musical identity<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Can you talk about what it was like having a global upbringing and being relocated regularly?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was a fun ride, but definitely challenging at times! I found moving to Mumbai at 7 to be tough, and even though I eventually adjusted I was very excited to move back to Delhi a couple of years later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But moving out of the country to Dubai was a massive change. We said goodbye to my brother who attended University in Canada, while also leaving my Grandparents in India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was the first time I was alone with just my parents. Overall moving as often as I did meant constantly adapting to a new culture while meeting new people and learning important life lessons. It has shaped me into the person I am today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Did you enjoy your time in Dubai? What was school like?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Absolutely! Dubai was a great place where I made friends, met amazing teachers and even found a mentor!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

School was very different there, despite attending an Indian school there, I was surprised to find out nobody spoke Hindi!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was a bit of a shock and took some time getting used to, however being the school drummer helped me to fit in and ultimately led to some of my best memories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is it how the rest of the world imagines Dubai?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dubai, for me, is incredible. It felt like taking all of India\u2019s wealth and putting it into one city, but the city is clean, safe and ever-evolving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s funny people have this view of Dubai as all gold and luxury, but it’s just like everywhere else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are plenty of regular people working their 9-5 jobs like anywhere else in the world!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What country or city has had the best music scene in your opinion and why?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Honestly, it\u2019s a toss-up between Delhi and Mumbai. While Delhi is known for its Jazz clubs like The Piano Man, Mumbai is the heart of the Bollywood music industry and home to Coke Studio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They both play a significant role in the music industry of India as most independent artists come from or perform in these two major cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who is your musical idol? How has this changed over time?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is one of those questions where my answer is constantly changing as time goes on!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve had so many influences over the years, as a kid and drummer I was obsessed with rock bands such as Green Day, Linkin Park, Led Zeppelin and Guns N\u2019 Roses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, later I became inspired by Indian composers like A.R. Rahman, Shakar-Ehsaan-Loy, Vishal-Shekhar and Amit Trivedi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My focus changed again as I started to get into electronic music where my biggest influences are Zedd, Avicii, David Guetta, and Martin Garrix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My musical journey isn\u2019t over, I am always open to new influences, and while in the US I expanded my taste to include Jazz, Funk, R&B and Modern Electronic Pop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Artists like Robert Glasper, Stevie Wonder, Mark Ronson, Erykah Badu, Daft Punk, and Dua Lipa have made their mark on my music tastes and style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I continue to evolve and grow as an artist, so too do my music tastes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
