Michael Dwan Singh is an artist, producer, and stage actor based in Cambridge, MA. One of the very few sarangi players in the United States, he comes under the lineage of the legendary Sultan Khan via his teacher, Dr. Kashyap Dave. Singh is a seasoned stage performer who has brought the soulful haunt of his instrument and tonality to audiences across the US and India. As a producer, he founded Desi Standard Time Studio in 2008, transforming the second floor of a mechanic’s garage into a makeshift audio paradise. There, he remixes archetypes, cooks hooks and writes groove across decaying tape machines, obscure Indian instruments, and overdriven synths. His most recent work has been with his band, The Shadow Notes, and as Tapewallah- his solo project. Singh is also one of the main organizers for SubDrift Boston- a monthly open mic for the South Asian Diaspora.
