Musician

Agneya Chikte is an award-winning Indo-Canadian percussionist and composer whose debut album AGNEYA (2026) blends South Asian rhythmic cycles with contemporary improvisation, cinematic textures, and global grooves. His music reflects his diasporic identity and belief in rhythm as a shared language, inviting audiences into a sound world that is groove-driven, meditative, and expansive.

Born and raised in Western India, Agneya grew up at the intersection of tradition and modernity. His mornings were steeped in the intricacies of Hindustani music and tabla compositions, while his evenings were soundtracked by early 2000s rock and hip-hop on MTV. This juxtaposition of ancient rhythmic systems and global pop culture became the foundation of his artistic perspective: rhythm not as a fixed category, but as an endlessly flexible, living force.
