Their artistic compositions span across Bollywood, Hollywood, TV, advertising and music production, as well as incorporating cinematic, folk, electronica and sufi influences to guarantee crowd-pleasing performances.

De India, Fashion, Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, Band Baaja Baaraat and Heroine among others. They have also participated in around 20 TV shows including the very popular Indian Idol.
