NYK's rise as an artist has been meteoric to say the least. And while any success story would come replete with its years backed by unyielding perseverance and unbridled passion, NYK has been a born experimenter, in a habit to string together meaningful pieces of self-expression. Needless to say, in the process, he has won many a hearts and topped many Bollywood music charts.

At the age of 34, DJ NYK is a phenomenon to be reckoned with. A Facebook fan base crossing over 1 Million and a multiple-world-tour repertoire to boast of, he is the cynosure of all eyes and ears alike. The "King of Remixes" has also won India's Best Bollywood DJ Award a record-breaking 3 Times at the 2012, 2013 & 2016 VH1 MYFAV Awards & was a part of the prestigious All Stars Legends League in 2014 & 2015. Here's a peek into his path-breaking career graph :
