While talking about her career transition in an interview, she said,
I have been making music and playing instruments like the piano since I was a child. Although I am an engineering student, I like to play music in my own time. I used to write, make music and perform at local venues after finishing my engineering degree while working full time to gain more experience. I had the ability, passion, and ambition to thrive in the music industry, so some of my friends at the time encouraged me to take music more seriously. I chose to apply to Berklee’s Masters program, and to my surprise, I was accepted even though I had no prior formal music training. That was an important point for me.”
In 2016, he presented at TEDxBerkleeValencia. After stints in Europe and the US, the former UX engineer and designer decided to return to Mumbai from Los Angeles in 2017 and start over.

Amid the Covid-19 lockdown, he created several viral mashups on social media such as Babu Babu, Kesariya Tony Kakkar Version , Chori Patata Hai, and Mujhe Drugs Do feat. Rabbit Goswami. His first viral meme mix was an experiment in which he added a beat to Arnab Goswami’s dramatic announcement about banning Chinese apps in India. While talking about the same in an interview, he said,
I started putting funny posts on my page instead of just showing off my singing prowess. At a time when TikTok was banned in India and Reels was on the rise, I took Arnab Goswami’s dialogue and mixed it with a beat. I thought it would make my less than 2k followers smile. The next day, it was everywhere.”

In 2021, his meme mix Jalebi Baby 90’s version went viral on Instagram. He used Tesher’s hit number ‘Jalebi Baby’ in addition to the dialogue “Sab gussa karte hai, main ghar chhod ke jaa raha hu ” from the old Dhara Oil ad for the meme.
The audio is widely used by dog parents to show their fur babies who decide to leave the house when they are upset about being scolded. The content of Jumani clips is diverse including dialogues from Tarak Mehta Ka Oolta Chashma (“Nimbu Pani feat Bapuji”), exaggerated stories by primetime anchors, Rakhi Sawant’s Insta speech, etc. Before long, it all became so successful that Mayur took on content creation and music production and composition as a full-time job. In January 2022, he founded audio production house Aux Media.
