On the night
More than a DJ
At the heart of it all is a connection to the crowd: knowing when to build anticipation, when to change direction and when to deliver the track that brings everyone together. For your wedding, that experience becomes personal. The music, atmosphere and energy are shaped around your celebration.
A signature sound. A dancefloor that feels like yours.
Rooted in Punjabi and South Asian music, AJD’s sound brings together Bhangra, Bollywood, R&B, hip hop and dance with sharp mixing, big builds and powerful drops.
His festival performances have a distinctive big room energy and Indian twist. At weddings, that musical identity meets the versatility to bring different generations, cultures and tastes onto one dancefloor.
From the anticipation of your entrance to the biggest moments of the reception, AJD understands how to give each part of the celebration its own feeling.
Presence beyond the decks.
As a BBC presenter and experienced live host, AJD is as comfortable on the microphone as he is behind the decks.
He brings clear introductions, confident crowd interaction and a feel for when to speak and when to let the music take over. Working alongside Kudos Music’s production team, he helps bring the music, lighting and atmosphere together.
From UK celebrations to destination weddings.
A sangeet in Portugal. A wedding reception in London. A celebration that brings family and friends together from around the world.
AJD brings extensive international experience to weddings and events, working with your planner and production team to shape a performance around the occasion.
Available for weddings, sangeets, receptions, private celebrations, corporate events, clubs and festivals.
