Introducing the maestro of rhythm, the force behind Indian Ocean's thunderous beats - Amit Kilam! With his drumming skills and boundless passion for music, Kilam has cemented his name as one of India's most revered musicians. Joining forces with the Indian Ocean in the early 90s, Kilam became the rhythmic backbone of the band infusing their fusion rock sound with electrifying energy. From the iconic anthem "Bandeh" that shook the nation in the film "Black Friday" to the soul-stirring melodies of "Kandisa" and the thought-provoking "Ma Rewa", Kilam's percussive ability adds an irresistible groove to Indian Ocean's socially conscious lyrics. He brings a lot more to the table and is also a composer, arranger, and producer who plays a range of melodic and percussive instruments. He has lent his musicianship to numerous film soundtracks such as "Black Friday", "Peepli Live", "Masaan" and "Katiyabaaz". He has been part of seven landmark albums with Indian Ocean including the legendary "Kandisa", "Tandanu", "Desert Rain" and their latest release "Tu Hai", which has been reviewed favorably by critics and fans. Besides music, Amit wears many hats as a wildlife photographer, nature lover, travel and trekking enthusiast, coffee connoisseur, doting family man and passionate foodie!
