EVOLUTION
He joined the school choir, initially to bunk class and getting the extra free meals but eventually music seized him. Last 2 years of school was tough
1. What was your reaction to the bullies you faced?
2. Was it easy to make it from that bullied butt to the DJ star now?
3. DJ as a career?
ACHIEVEMENTS
For Rittesh greatest achievements are still not met. But yes he is highly ambitious. His greatest achievement would be when the world recognizes the talent of an Indian DJ who can sit in India but still make the world dance.
