Indofunk Satish is a vetran of the New York City improvised music scene. Beginning with his eponymous band Indofunk in the early 2000s, he has brought a unique style of Indian classical/jazz/funk fusion to every project he has played in, including rock (Bruce Springsteen, Jesse Malin), jazz, electronic, and world music (The Master Musicians of Jajouka, Brooklyn Raga Massive). He currently leads multiple musical projects reflecting his varied musical influences, among them: The Nevermind Orchestra, a brass band Nirvana tribute; Radio Free Tibet, an experimental drums/guitar/trumpet trio featuring heavy electronics usage; and Urban Jungle, an intercontinental cinematic production duo.

Satish plays a unique trumpet called the Firebird, which has a half-length trombone slide in addition to the normal 3 valves. The slide allows him to accurately reproduce traditional South Indian (Carnatic) gamakas, or melodic ornaments.
