Musical career
He started his Musical Journey as a DJ by playing at Private Parties and Clubs, and started making bootleg recordings in the early 2000s, despite lack of family support. After seeing too much competition in the DJing field, he took his musical passion to the next level by learning music production and making Mainstream music.

While DJing at a club, Adx met King-P, who was a promoter and wanted to form a group of Indian rappers and Hip-Hop DJ's. Adx and King-P created a group called Hip-Hop Mafiaz, which included Adx, Bir, Golu, Ikka, JB, Max (now Raftaar), Nifty, O-Positive, DJ Notorious Sid, and King-P. The group was renamed as D-Soldierz later on. After hosting numerous Hip-Hop events and song recordings, D-Soldierz disbanded due to financial issues.

After leaving D-Soldierz, Adx joined BeatFactory Academy to increasing his skills as a Music Producer. Afterwards, he formed Nau Sau Bai with ex-D-Soldierz members Ikka and JB. After recording their first studio track, Tumbi Ridin Gangstas, 922 (aka Nau Sau Bai) went on to get signed by Gaurav Dayal (the owner of BeatFactory Academy and BeatFactory Music), and later was featured on Universal Music India's album #1s Sher-E-Punjabi on a track titled Sher-E-Punjab, alongside Bollywood singer Mika Singh. Later, 922 released their self-titled track, called Nau Sau Bai Anthem, on Universal Music India's first Hip-Hop Mixtape, titled Desi Hustle. The track was reportedly viral, online as well as on Indian Mainstream Music channels. The group was invited for an interview on PTC Punjabi, in First Look Programme, and was also interviewed by Bobby Friction on BBC Asian Network. Later, 922 released their first album on BeatFactory Music, titled "We The Movement" and produced by Adx.
