The great-grandson of legendary Thumri artist Naina Devi and a graduate of the University of Southern California, axe.shay began his journey in the independent music scene with Barefaced Liar before going on to found Three Kings Recording Studio and compose for advertising, television, and film.
Honing his craft under slide guitar pioneer Pt. Debashish Bhattacharya, with whom he collaborated on the 2024 single Love in Kyoto, axe.shay now looks to reflect this cross-cultural nature on his forthcoming full-length, combining cinematic textures, groove-driven energy, and Indian classical nuance.
Previous acclaim has come from OMEC Digital’s #TeleportYourTone 2020 contest and Talenthouse. axe.shay was also a finalist in both Rock and Singer/Songwriter categories at the UK Songwriting Contest 2016, and is currently endorsed by Orange Amplification and Rotosound Strings
