i'm a producer, writer and vocalist based out of san ffrancisco, CA. i love producing pop, hip-hop, soul and electronic records! in 2021, one of my tracks was a finalist in the international songwriting competition, and this year my tracks were listened to over 600K times across streaming platforms. i'd love to take your ideas to the next level!
San Francisco-based artist and producer AIR APPARENT makes exuberant electronic pop that invites both escapism and self-discovery. born in Atlanta, Georgia, he grew up on Bollywood and Hindu spiritual music, early 2000s Atlanta rap, and explosive nu-metal. since releasing his first tracks in 2017, the independent Indian American musician has swiftly gained buzz for his expansive take on EDM that draws from influences like James Blake, Mitski, Kaytranada, and Jai Wolf. after landing placements on Spotify’s Beats of Tomorrow playlist and making his live debut at last year’s Joy Ruckus Club 4 festival, AIR APPARENT released his debut album, Chromatic, in august 2022. on the ‘80s electronic-influenced project, AIR APPARENT captures the highs and lows of a romantic relationship and steps into a bolder, more colorful era.

Neil was a pleasure to work with as a client - in addition to sending a great track that was in a very organized state already, he was very clear about exactly how I could help. He was also very timely and professional throughout, and it was a pleasure to work on his music - I can't wait for his song to come out because I genuinely loved working on it.
