Nikhil Kalimireddy,[2] known professionally as Kalmi, is an Indian music producer and DJ based in Hyderabad.[3][4] He is perhaps best known for his song "Big Dawgs" with rapper Hanumankind. It entered the Billboard Canadian Hot 100 chart at #9[5][6][7][8] and has peaked on the Billboard Hot 100 at #23, marking an achievement for both artists.

Early life

[edit]

Kalimireddy was born in Hyderabad and attended an engineering college.[9]

Early career

[edit]

Kalimireddy began taking music production seriously when he was in college, where he would start to engineer and produce tracks off of his mom's laptop. This, and a succession of his roommates with eclectic electronic music tastes opened him up to a world of new possibilities. They allowed him to draw on inspiration from pioneering artists like Flume and Odesza.[10][11]
