A Mohan Veena-wielding EDM producer, devoted to his art and a true perfectionist, "Jeet Zitar " is known for his massive hypnotic explosive sets on the dance floor & for his precise detailed production in the studio.

Jeet schooled in Indian Classical Music since he was a 4 years old child. He progressed to improvisation and fusion playing the 'Mohan Veena' (Sitar style modified steel slide Hawaiian guitar) - an Indian Classical instrument invented by the Grammy award winner Pandit Vishwa Mohan Bhatt. After adding electronic effects to Mohan Veena, Jeet modified it and started calling the instrument "Zitar" - in year 2004 - and this is the origination of this artist name, when he first performed and recorded with this instrument in New York (Collective Unconscious, Sidewalk Cafe, FreePlay Studio) in 2007.

He has been experimenting and composing, producing Fusion of Indian Classical and Folk influences with Electronic forms of music.
He performs LIVE DJ sets with mostly his own produced music ranging from down-tempo ambient to progressive EDM and often fusing with live Indian classical elements and including other artists in his performances.

Sounds of Jeet Zitar's range from down-tempo Ambient to a host of Progressive Electronic Dance Music. His music is heavily atmospheric, transporting the listener to a different fantasy realm. It's got the very freshness of the morning itself, and he is one of those few musicians who makes use of the Mohan Veena, especially in the genre he employs it in. He is currently working on material for a EDM and Indian classical fusion album, which he hopes to release soon.

In 2011, the one-man project was selected as the first Indian musician to be part of Red Bull Music Academy. He was promoted and sponsored by Red Bull to travel to Madrid, Spain for 1 month to produce music and perform gigs in the city.

He has also performed in 2103 at the New York Holi Festival of Colours, USA and done shows in Goa, Mumbai and New Delhi at various music performance events at some of the most well known alternative music venues like Blue Frog, Zenzi, Bonobo, Little Door, Bomb Thursdays, Escape, RAW, Club Valeno, 9 Bar, Cafe Lilliput, Curlies, Kitty Su, i-Kandy, Matchbox, Out of The Box, Anti Social, Lap, Prive, F-Bar, Sidewalk Cafe, Collective:Unconscious, Side Fense and many others.
