DattDholGuy Case Study

Introduction

DattDholGuy is a New Zealand–based live dhol performance brand founded by professional percussionist Prashant Datt. With over two decades of experience in rhythm and live performance, the brand was created to bring high-energy cultural entertainment to weddings, festivals, and private events across New Zealand.

The Challenge

Prashant Datt is not just a dhol performer; he is a multi-instrumentalist, freelance percussionist, educator, and electrical engineer with a strong understanding of sound design. The key challenge was presenting this wide and diverse skill set in a clear, structured way without overwhelming the user or diluting the brand identity.

The goal was to design a digital portfolio that could effectively segment multiple offerings, from high-energy wedding dhol performances to intimate tabla lessons, while maintaining a cohesive and premium visual identity. The platform also needed to appeal to both ends of the audience spectrum, including high-end wedding coordinators and professional concert managers, without compromising clarity or usability.
