Mumbai Music Institute

Audio Garage Digital Recording Studio was started by Mr Arvind Vishwakarma in 2007. Our first album “Junoon” was launched with singer Abhijeet Sawant. We got into recording for films launched by popular production houses with various projects pouring in thereafter.

Anurag Kashyap has recorded all songs and background score for his film Dev D and the hit song “Tauba Tera Jalwa, Tauba Tera Pyar” was born here.
