Born in Mumbai and handed a bass at nine, Mohini Dey has been turning heads since she first wrenched a groove at eleven—an early spark that lit a lifelong fire.
Ranjit Barot, her father’s friend, spotted her raw talent and soon had her touring on the road, while legendary jazz guru Louis Banks refined her technique. And then, with every riff she played, she cemented a reputation that could only grow.
Her résumé reads like a mixtape of legends: from Steve Vai’s shredding riffs to A.R. Rahman's cinematic swells, and even Willow Smith’s pop sensibility, she’s the bassist who bridges genres.
August 2023 saw her drop a self‑titled album that critics praised for its depth, noting how a single bassist can command an entire sonic landscape.
Now, on Oct 22, she’ll take the stage at the NDTV World Summit’s opening act, promising a set that will make even the most seasoned ears wobble. The buzz is already heating up, and fans can expect a performance that feels like a bass‑driven cinematic crescendo.
