Founder & CEO
How would you best describe yourself?
Knowledgeable about and Sensitive to Music.
How was the idea of MBC Conceived?
After many years of travelling abroad and staying in luxury hotels around the world, I observed that although, the hotels were often beautifully designed with style & elegance with great service, what these establishments lacked was a coherent music policy.
I observed that the majority of hotels had not given much thought to this part of their business. Hence, instead of enhancing, the background music was harming the brand’s identity. With around 30 years of professional experience in the music industry, I believed I could help these brands find their signature soundtracks and elevate their brand identity. This is when MBC was formed.
What is your musical background?
I was trained in classical piano and was also part of a funk band. I had my own record label for a number of years where I diversified into electronic music. After this, I moved on to work as the artistic director of the renowned Momo's Club in London and produced a number of world music albums, adding a unique electro twist. This was seen to be very innovative at the time.
Do you play any instruments or sing?
I play the piano.
Do you have a favourite music genre?
If I had to choose one, it would be Jazz because I listen to it the most but I do not think I have a favourite one.
What is the one song that relaxes you/gives you energy?
741 hertz music as I believe it helps remove various toxins from the environment and has a calming effect.
What did you want to be while growing up?
A Music Producer.
