Having multiple performance modules, as a solo act, band, and as part of multiple collaborative efforts, her performances showcase these encapsulating creations.

After traveling through India in 2005, Tikki Masala became deeply inspired by the rich textures and spiritual depth of Indian classical music.

Over time, his sound evolved into a fusion of World Beat, Tribal, Ethno, Downtempo, Native Beat, Bass, and Dance Music, influenced by cultures and musical traditions from around the world.

Dance became a central element of his path after discovering Ecstatic Dance, where movement revealed itself as a powerful tool for personal, emotional, physical, and spiritual transformation—a space of freedom, authenticity, and deep connection.

In 2014, answering the call to share this experience, he founded Ecstatic Dance at The Source, Arambol (India). Since then, Tikki Masala has played and facilitated ecstatic dance events across India, Europe, Russia, Thailand, Bali, and beyond.
