SEEKING

ABOUT

I'm kW, a multi-award-winning guitarist/producer and have recently relocated to San Francisco, USA.

I have been a part of various rock outfits for the last 3 decades with both critical acclaim and commercial success.

I was the founding member/guitar player of the Asian Rock outfit Qayaas which won the Best Rock Band at the Rolling Stones/Jack Daniels Annual Music Awards held in India in 2010 and 3 awards at INDIEGO Music Awards 2012 (Best Rock Song, Best Rock Video, Best Rock Vocalist) at IndieGo awards held in Malaysia in 2012. My recent band, kW and the Facedown Movement, won the Independent Rock Song of the Year, 2018 at VIMA Music awards held in Malaysia.

During the COVID pandemic, I launched an initiative, Guitar Collective, to get all the major guitar players from Asia on one platform for live online discussions on guitars, technique and theory. Currently it has 135 guitar players which regularly post on the Guitar Collective Facebook Group comprising of 5.2k members.

I'm currently working on 4 music projects comprising of my instrumental album, an album with my wife on vocals, an album with my band kW and The Facedown Movement and a collaboration with multiple artists across the world.

I'm actively looking for a rock drummer and bass player and you can either message me here or email me at [email protected]
