Bassist - Mohini Dey

NOT MANY 21-YEAR-OLDS CAN say that they’ve had the pleasure of collaborating with the likes of keyboard genius Jordan Rudess, three-time Grammy Award winning guitar virtuoso Steve Vai or ace drummer Marco Minnemann. But 2017 saw young bass prodigy Mohini Dey working with all three. “It’s always been lovely teaming up with different artists, but this year especially it’s been really special in terms of collaborations,” says Dey. The bassist played on Rudess’ track “Light Becomes Day” for his East Meets West collaborative project and performed with Vai at the recently concluded Bacardi NH7 Weekender in Meghalaya. She will also perform with the guitarist at the Pune edition of the festival this month and toured India with Minnemann this past September.
