March 17, 2024Amazing musician and DJ
Proud to have been the first one to have Rahul be a part of our wedding nearly 20 years ago. He played the sitar when we entered the ceremony - it was magical. He then deejayed the night away - friends still talk about the memorable combination of music played that got everyone dancing!
Easy to collaborate with, open to ideas and so incredibly easy during a very stressful time! I cannot recommend Rahul or Funksdesi enough (have you heard the music?).
I am gonna be calling for our 20th Anniversary - so hold the date:)! Giving you ample notice!
