Danish From Bombay70 to MTV Hustle A Journey Rooted in Rhythm and Truth

From the streets of Bombay70 Kurla West comes a voice that blends beatboxing, rap, poetry, and soul into one sound. Danish started his musical journey in 2011, not with a mic or a studio, but with his own breath and rhythm through beatboxing. That spark led him into the world of Sufi hip hop where he honed his skills in classical music, poetry, and storytelling. Over time he became much more than just a beatboxer. He became a voice of the streets.

In 2024, Danish hit a major milestone by making it to the Top 10 on MTV Hustle, India’s biggest reality show for hip hop talent. His performances stood out for their mix of lyrical honesty and rooted style. He wasn’t just performing. He was speaking truth in a way that connected with people of all ages.

He’s also worked closely with Qyuki, the media platform founded by Shekhar Kapur, A R Rahman, and Samir Bangara. That opened the door to stages across the country. He’s shared the mic with big names like Kailash Kher, Akshith Aacharya, MC Altaf, and KAAM BHARI. His collaborations show the kind of range he brings. From Sufi fusion to hard-hitting street rap, Danish can switch gears without losing his voice.

One of the most exciting things about Danish is how he gives back. In 2023, he mentored young rap artists from Govandi as part of the Govandi Arts Festival. He helped form Code43, a rap group featuring local talents DRJ Sohail and Tash. The idea was simple. Create a platform for stories that don’t usually get heard, especially from underrepresented parts of Mumbai. And he didn’t just guide them. He stood beside them, proving that hip hop is about lifting each other up.

The same year, Danish also signed with TM Music, released an EP, and dropped multiple singles. Whether he’s performing on a big stage or at a community show, his energy stays raw and real. He’s currently working on both independent and mainstream projects, expanding his sound while staying connected to his roots.

For the Indian middle class, especially youth trying to make sense of where they fit, Danish is a relatable voice. He didn’t come from privilege. He came from Kurla West, with no big background in music, just a passion and a purpose. Today, his journey reflects what’s possible when you stay consistent and true to your story.

At Sound of the Streets India, Danish represents everything we stand for. Talent with depth. Lyrics with meaning. Music that doesn’t just sound good but says something important. He’s not just making music. He’s shaping the next generation of it.
