The world is one big dance floor for Hashbass. The New Delhi-raised, Mumbai-based bassist, composer and producer has brought the party to Lollapalooza India, the millions-watched collaborative series Coke Studio Bharat and so many more.

It was in 2014 that Harshit Misra was recognized as Outstanding Bass Student during his stint at Musicians’ Institute in Los Angeles and soon enough, he was performing with the likes of American Idol winner Candice Glover and the Grammy-nominated comedian-musician Wayne Brady.

Hashbass’ grooves were in the pocket, and his dynamic approach as bassist and producer took him to perform with India’s top artists, including R&B/pop powerhouse Sid Sriram, singer-songwriter Prateek Kuhad, Bollywood singer Shilpa Rao and hip-hop star Prabh Deep, among others.

As a beatsmith, Hashbass has added heft to bars by Indian hip-hop’s topline artists including Riar Saab, Naezy, MC Altaf, D’Evil, Sammohit and more, proving you can have the best of all worlds.

When he wasn’t backing up artists on big stages, Hashbass was tinkering to find his own space in Indian music, bringing in acclaimed classical vocalist Shubha Mudgal and guitar ace Warren Mendonsa on the same track (“For Anita”), later offering mood music with Fruits EP in 2022 as well as bangers on his 2023 EP Solo At Your Party.
