It's not often you hear about a band like Zerobridge. Lead singer/guitarist and songwriter Mubashir "Din" Mohi-ud-Din and drummer Mohsin "Mo" Mohi-ud-Din are two brothers, whose parents are from the disputed territory of Kashmir, nestled between northern India and Pakistan. Greg "The Quota," seasoned NYC bass player, rounds out the trio who have been playing their own unique brand of melodic, guitar driven rock n' roll for the last three years. With two independent releases behind them, Zerobridge released their latest EP in 2007.

Born of Indian descent, Shobha's interest in musical "flavors" drew her to diverse sounds from Jamaica to the Bronx. With the help of Dammien Alexander and Howard Beye of Live Village Records, Shobha sought to realize a debut album that captures the vision of who she is and who she will be. Shobha teamed up with the award-winning Toronto/L.A based production team jACK. Starting with a writing session in Los Angeles, Shobha unlocked moments of true magic with her debut R&B album. Shobha is an artist of vision, truth and, as her name means in East Indian, grace.
The literal meaning of the word Jungli stemming from the Sanksrit word for “ jungle “ is defined as one who is wild, or in their natural & primal state of being. The music of Jungli embodies just that. The spirit of freedom of expression and the spirit of understanding one’s own nature.
The South Asian, East African, Canadian Born, Oklahoma, raised Jungli girl, calls the streets of Brooklyn, New York City home. She has been performing music since 2003. Since then she has rapped at Carnegie Hall, made her milkshake bring all the boys to the yard on the SNL soundstage, brought Miami’s Art Basel to their knees, and played just about every rock and roll hole in the wall and bourgeois venue NYC has to offer. Jungli has also performed to benefit the likes of Amnesty International & Artwallah. In 2007 she released her album That [GIRL] and moved to LA. She now returns to New York with YOUR DIL!
