Donn Bhat
Sound Designer
Donn Bhat is a genre-defying music producer, songwriter, and guitarist based between Mumbai and New Delhi. Performing under the moniker Donn Bhat + Passenger Revelator, he has carved a unique niche in the global independent scene by blending electronic textures with organic folk, rock, and blues.
Building on the success of his three acclaimed albums—One Way Circle, Passenger Revelator, and the Radio City Electronic Album of the Year, Connected—Donn’s sound has evolved into an even more expansive, collaborative force. His recent work is defined by a sophisticated fusion of traditional Indian roots and modern electronica, highlighted by his standout contribution to Coke Studio Bharat (2023) with the track "Taqdeer."
Donn’s ability to bridge the gap between experimental soundscapes and lyric-driven storytelling has made him a sought-after producer for both the stage and the screen. He has composed for global giants like Meta and Instagram, and his remix of the Chhattisgarhi folk song "Ishq" became a viral streaming hit, further cementing his reputation for bringing heritage sounds into the contemporary club and festival circuit.
A veteran of the international festival stage, Donn has performed at the prestigious Glastonbury (UK), Sakifo (Reunion Island), and Magnetic Fields. After a brief hiatus from the road to focus on studio production, he recently returned to the live circuit with headline performances at the Ziro Festival and NH7 Weekender, showcasing a live set that remains as emotionally resonant as it is physically driving.
