The Spindoctor

The Spindoctor (Sanjay Meriya) is one of India’s most dynamic turntablist DJs and producers, known for electrifying crowds with his genre-blending sets and unapologetic energy. Based in Mumbai, he holds the rare distinction of being a practicing medical doctor and a celebrated figure in the Indian hip-hop and electronic music scenes. Before dedicating himself full-time to music in 2017, The Spindoctor balanced his passion for beats with a medical career—juggling hospital shifts by day and underground gigs on weekends. That dual life inspired his DJ moniker and added a powerful layer to his artistry. A core member of the influential Gully Gang alongside Divine, he’s shared stages at major festivals such as NH7 Weekender, Saavn, BBC Pop-up, and Hip Hop Homeland. His skill with scratches, beat-mixing, beat juggling, and sampling has also made him a mentor at esteemed institutions like The True School of Music, Audioqube, and Party Map DJ Academy. Universally praised for his high-voltage performances and magnetic presence, The Spindoctor keeps dance floors pulsating with his creative remixes and atmospheric sets. Whether spinning hip-hop, EDM, or genre-defying blends, he delivers an immersive festival experience that resonates both viscerally and emotionally.
