Vaibhav Pathak, a 26-year-old hailing from the vicinity of Indore, Madhya Pradesh, assumes the stage name 'Vish' as he recounts his journey through the layers of artistic expression. From a tender age, he found himself drawn to the trifecta of music, dance, and painting, each art forming a canvas upon which he could weave his imaginative threads. As he travelled the pathways of his youth, he dared to explore the stage, venturing into the world of acting with the same fervour that fuelled his other creative pursuits.
Born into modest means, Vaibhav's familial circumstances were marked by financial challenges. Yet, amid the constraints, his parents remained steadfast pillars of support, nurturing his budding talents and encouraging his boundless aspirations. Throughout his formative years, he embodied a resolute dedication to his craft, manifesting a complete artistic persona that resonated with authenticity and passion.
Vaibhav Pathak, affectionately known to the music world as 'Vish', during his college years in Mumbai, found sustenance through the creative avenues of dance and acting, skilfully navigating the bustling city's landscape to make ends meet. It was amidst the vibrant cultural milieu of Mumbai that he first discovered his affinity for music, a passion ignited by influential figures such as Nucleya, Ritiviz, Justin Bieber, Skrillex, and DJ Snake. Embracing the energy of the EDM electronic dance music scene, Vish embarked on his musical journey, initially dabbling in EDM production with little knowledge of digital audio workstations (DAWs) or their intricacies. Undeterred by his lack of formal training, he turned to the boundless resources of social media and YouTube, immersing himself in tutorials and guides to hone his craft. Yet, beneath the surface of his burgeoning artistic pursuits, Vish grappled with the existential uncertainties of young adulthood, navigating the maze of life's challenges in search of a brighter path. While surfing through the trials and tribulations of daily life, he perseveres driven by an unwavering determination to carve out his own destiny amidst the chaos of the world.
"Nucleya has been a significant source of inspiration for me in my music-making journey, and continues to be a constant source of motivation to this day."

Amidst the tumultuous currents of life in Mumbai, Vish faced an unexpected and devastating blow with the loss of his father, a tragedy that forced him to abruptly halt his pursuits and return to his hometown. Suddenly burdened with the weight of responsibility for his mother and household affairs, Vish found himself at a crossroads, grappling with grief and the overwhelming demands of his new reality. Yet, even amidst the darkness of loss, Vish refused to let his dreams falter but instead, he turned to music as a beacon of hope and resilience, using his artistry as a means to navigate through the storm. With unwavering determination, he embarked on a journey to rebuild his life, one melody at a time. In the quiet corners of his makeshift studio, Vish found warmth and peace, transforming his grief into creative fuel. Step by painstaking step, he pieced together his thoughts where his melodies could flourish and his spirit could soar.
Reflecting on his journey, Vish offers a reminder that true artistry is not a gift bestowed upon a chosen few, but rather a journey of continual growth and self-discovery. "I believe artists aren't born, we learn and grow through life's journey, refining our craft daily. Each experience shapes us, and I strive to better myself constantly. True artistry comes from the courage to pursue our passions and the resilience to endure the journey."
"I've been immersed in the world of psychedelic music for the past five years. Prior to that, Vish delved into EDM, infusing it with Indian rhythms before eventually realizing his passion lay in pursuing music as a full-time endeavour, both as a producer and DJ. It was after the release of his debut album, 'God Connection,' that he came to understand the essence of his artistic vision, psychedelic soundscapes spanning from 138bpm to 200bpm. "I keep traveling and observe things here and there and take inspiration from everything around me," says Pathak."
Vish recounts the journey of his musical career, reminiscing on the profound reflection his music has evoked since its inception. From the moment he released his music, a tidal wave of positive response surged forth, propelling him into the spotlight and earning him a dedicated following. With each track, he found invitations to spin his tunes at parties, a testament to the magnetism of his sound. Yet although in the whirlwind of success, Vish remains grounded, balancing the demands of his everyday life while steadfastly pursuing his passion. He acknowledges the struggles inherent in the human experience but maintains an unwavering commitment to persevere through the hustle and bustle of life.
"In the beginning, when my music didn't garner the expected response, it left me feeling disheartened. However, I took it upon myself to engage in self-reflection and introspection. Through this process, I identified areas for improvement and recognized that there was something lacking in my approach. This realization spurred me into action, motivating me to redouble my efforts and refine my musical craft."

Reflecting on the overwhelming support he has received, Vish expresses profound gratitude for the outpouring of love from his fans, despite his status as a relatively lesser-known artist. The success of his debut album, 'God Connection,' serves as a testament to the power of genuine artistry he has. Recently, Vish released a track titled 'Diwali,' a labor of love years in the making. Inspired by a chance encounter with a woman outside his home, he captured the essence of her plea in the form of vocal samples, infusing the track with an authentic and emotive resonance. Originally conceived as an EDM piece, the track underwent a transformation over time, evolving into the rhythms of psytrance.
"The love we receive from people in the form of views and streams serves as the greatest source of motivation for me, as well as for any other artist. It's what we all aspire to achieve, a tangible expression of appreciation and support that fuels our passion and drives us to create."
As he continues to craft his sonic tapestry, Vish offers a glimpse into his upcoming projects, including tracks such as 'Damru Dhari' and 'Jantar Hightech,' each imbued with his signature style and boundless creativity. Anticipation mounts as he prepares to unveil his next magnum opus, an album titled 'Mumbai Central,' slated for release in the coming months.
