Jesus Mehta has rapidly become one of the most recognisable digital creators in India, blending music, humour, and storytelling into content that resonates across audiences. Based in Surat, Gujarat, Mehta wears many hats, such as musician, rapper, beatboxer, and entrepreneur. He has turned his passion for experimentation and performance into a digital success story that now reaches millions.

Mehta’s journey began in 2015, when beatboxing was still finding its space in India’s independent music circles. What started as a hobby soon grew into a mission to popularise the art form in his region. 

He formed a local beatboxing crew and started performing at small events, gradually expanding his presence online. By combining beatboxing with Hindi rap and relatable humour, he developed a distinct identity that stood out in India’s fast-evolving creator landscape.

His YouTube channel, Kya Ho Agar?, became the turning point. The platform, which features a mix of rap covers, musical performances, and comedy sketches, has built a strong and loyal following. Each video reflects Mehta’s creative blend of sound, rhythm, and social commentary. 

One of his most viral moments came with his Hindi rendition of the Gujarati hit Khalasi, which amassed millions of views across social platforms and highlighted his ability to blend regional culture with mainstream appeal.
