The Taj Mahal, the pyramids at Giza and the Great Wall of China. For most of us, these tourist destinations are places to visit and capture forever with a photograph before moving on.
For 29-year-old Mumbai-based DJ Praveen Nair, such world wonders have become his stage.
"I've performed in Egypt with the pyramids in Giza serving as my backdrop. It was a wicked experience. I've played at the Great Wall of China, at the Taj Mahal, at the Leaning Tower of Piza in Italy. It's amazing. You see these places on television and in pictures, but it doesn't compare to actually being there and making music," he says.
Welcome to the life of a professional international disc jockey, the life Praveen has lived for seven years. A life that has taken him all over the world to perform: China, Italy, Australia, Egypt, Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore, Turkey, Dubai and more.
"It's a very, very rewarding career. The best part is all the travelling," he explains. "You get to meet so many new and exciting people, even on an ordinary day. You're flying all over the world, all over the country. You get to hear new music, eat different cuisine and see different cultures. Honestly, my work has really changed my outlook on the world. It's taught me a lot."
