Gladi Singh is the founder of Bollywood DJs Ireland, which is a group made up of desi DJs who regularly put on Bollywood music nights and perform at other events around Dublin.
Bollywood DJs Ireland started in 2015 when Gladi realised the Bollywood scene in Ireland was "blowing up", so he decided to make it official.
Since then, they have hosted Bollywood nights in venues such as Dicey's, Club M and The Well.

Ahead of a Bollywood Swag night which was being held in The Well this May, Gladi spoke to Dublin Live about the growing Bollywood scene and what people can expect from a Bollywood night in Dublin.
He said: "When I first started on the scene, the demand for Bollywood music was small.
"There are a lot of Indian students here now. We had a feeling it would become big. We never sold out so quickly like we did with this event in The Well. It was sold out in eight days.
"We've hosted many nights like this before all over the place. We've done The Well, Club 22 and Pygmalion, that's where we started."
Speaking ahead of the Bollywood Swag night at The Well, Gladi said: "Every state in India has their own languages and music. We want to keep them together during the night. We play a song from each state so everybody should be happy. We mix it up with a lot of chart music, a lot of pop like Justin Bieber, etc."
Gladi was a DJ in India before he moved to Ireland in 2000 at the age of 20.
As well as regular Bollywood nights, Gladi also revealed plans for a huge Diwali celebration in Dublin this year.
Diwali takes place in October and is one of the major festivals celebrated by Hindus, Buddhists, Jains, and Sikhs.. Known as the festival of light, it lasts for five days and marks the start of the Hindu New Year.
Gladi has promised a celebration full of dancing and colour to mark the occasion in Dublin this October.
