For over 18 years, Sushein Goklaney has been a driving force in the Indian music and DJing industry, redefining what it means to entertain, inspire, and connect through sound. Known to fans worldwide as DJ Sue and STAR, he has performed more than 1,500 shows across India and abroad, building a reputation not just as a DJ, but as a true experience creator. From intimate soirées to massive festivals, Sushein brings an unmistakable blend of energy, innovation, and artistry that has made him a household name in live entertainment.
As the Founder and Director of Skratch DJ Academy and Massive Entertainment, Sushein has been instrumental in shaping the next generation of talent while curating unforgettable events for audiences. His journey is lined with milestones that set him apart: he was the first official DJ for IPL Extra Innings T20, Pepsi Football T20, and Indian Super Model Seasons 1 & 2. He has headlined cultural showcases like the Saifai Mohatsava and Lucknow Mohatsava, and held the stage as the official DJ for the JD Annual Design Awards for nearly a decade (2009–2018). His international presence has also grown steadily, with acclaimed performances such as the RTI World Meeting in Sri Lanka.
Sushein’s artistry goes beyond spinning tracks. Performing as STAR, his hybrid act seamlessly fuses DJing, live singing, and dynamic crowd interaction—a formula that transforms every event into an immersive journey. His ability to switch between roles—curator, vocalist, and entertainer—creates an emotional connection with audiences, ensuring every performance is memorable and electric.
Never content with the ordinary, Sushein continues to reimagine the boundaries of live music. His latest concept, The After Party Cartel, is transforming the landscape of weddings and social celebrations. Teaming up with VJ Saya, a master of visual storytelling, and Vipin Sagar, a renowned percussionist, the trio blends techno, Bolly-techno, reactive percussion, and immersive visual mapping into one multisensory spectacle. The result? An experience that feels equal parts festival, performance art, and futuristic dreamscape.
Adding to his repertoire, Sushein is preparing to launch his next venture this Diwali: The Bollywood Sunset Project. This ambitious initiative merges classical and Bollywood instrumental music with electronic dance sounds, creating a refreshing harmony of tradition and modernity—perfectly tuned to India’s evolving cultural heartbeat.
What truly sets Sushein apart is his rare versatility. In a field where most artists specialize in one craft, he thrives as a DJ, singer, showman, and entertainer. His uncanny ability to read the room, control the energy, and elevate the atmosphere ensures his sets live on in the memories of those who witness them.
With every project, Sushein Goklaney continues to shape the future of live entertainment in India and beyond. For him, music is not just sound—it is emotion, energy, and shared experience. His performances don’t just entertain; they create stories people carry long after the final beat drops.
As he prepares to take his artistry to new heights, one thing is clear: for Sushein, the celebration has only just begun.
