Praveen Sharma has been making music for most of his life, and has contributed releases to AI, Neo Ouija, and Expanding Records. He also runs Percussion Lab, a hub for underground electronic music and exclusive DJ sets, in addition to being an avid live performer and event organizer in New York City.

I’m already at work on a remixed album and have numerous demo’s uploaded to listen to.
Shoot me a line or two, I’d like to hear from you.
We are releasing two albums over the course of 2009.
The first is an EP of songs written, recorded and produced by us.
The second will be an epic multimedia concept album entitled "The Day We Dropped the Bomb Again". It is best described as "The Wall for a Hip Hop generation".
Hope you have enjoyed what you have heard so far. Check back often as we will be giving away free promotional stuff over the next couple of months to get the word out about Big Hell and promote our first release.
