About KSHMR
Heralded by DJ Magazine as the ‘Prince of Cinematica’, American born, Kashmiri-Indian descent KSHMR (as in Kashmir) was raised making periodic family trips to his father’s homeland. Though, it wasn’t until KSHMR began seeking inspiration for his own musical productions that he realized the significance of his upbringing. KSHMR exploded onto the scene with his first release, “Megalodon." Since then, his Beatport releases “Burn,” “Secrets,” “Karate,” “Memories,” “Heaven,” “Strong” and “Bazaar” have all peaked at #1 overall and quickly garnered him a rapidly growing fan base.
In 2016, KSHMR was awarded DJ Mag’s prestigious accolade of Best New Live Act, climbed to number 12 on their Top 100 DJ list and graced the cover of the March issue. He followed suit this year with a non-mover position on the DJ Mag, Top 100 chart, and was awarded Best Audio-Visual Act of 2017.
2017 has been a monumental year for KSHMR, he took his incredible KSHMR LIVE show to the ULTRA stages in Miami, Korea, Singapore, Japan and most recently Mexico. Incorporating an orchestra, mesmerizing Bollywood dancers, and an animated story narrative that is weaved between into his musical set. KSHMR brought to life his original productions and people are still talking about it!
KSHMR’s latest endeavor is the start of his own record label Dharma. A platform to showcase the best global talent in the world of dance music. The first release on Dharma is his EP Materia, featuring collaborations with the likes of Snails, Maurice West, JDG and No Mondays. KSHMR dropped huge music releases this year, including “Harder”, his collaboration with Tiesto and Power with Hardwell, and the touring doesn’t stop.
