Early Life and career
Ritviz was born and brought up in Pune. His mother is an Indian classical singer and his father is a tabla player. This resulted in an exposure to music from an early age. He started learning music at the age of six, and went on to be tutored by Pandit Uday Bhawalkar in the Dhrupad subgenre of Hindustani Music.[4] He composed his first song at the age of 10.[5] His prefered D.A.W. is "Ableton".[6]
Before starting as a music producer, Ritviz used to be DJ at local clubs. His associated acts include a remix of Nucleya's track Lights, from 2016 album called Raja Baja.[7]
