In 2015, Nucleya launched his debut album, "Bass Rani", at a Ganpati visarjan on the streets of Mumbai. 2016 marked the release of "Raja Baja", and 2019 marked the release of "Tota Myna". In 2021, he released an EP titled "Baaraat" in collaboration with Ritviz. His songs have been popular in the independent music scene in India.
Nucleya, in collaboration with AIB, hosted and picked the winners of Bacardi House Party Sessions in 2017. He has also been a judge on the Indian hip hop reality show MTV Hustle. He has performed at EDC Las Vegas and Mexico, the Bacardi NH7 Weekender, Sunburn Festival, Zomaland by Zomato, Vh1 Supersonic and YouTube Fanfest. He has opened for and performed with Skrillex, Major Lazer, DJ Snake and Krewella.
Personal life
