The New York City based pop group is a joyous family affair including members 23-year-old twin sisters Riya and Sara along with their 19-year-old percussionist brother Kavi. Their debut EP uses samples from Qawwali legend Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan.
Composing a pop album around this prolific style has created a tantalizing mix of dance tracks by using instruments and sounds from all over India. Including percussive instruments like the ghatam and dumbek is a rarity that produces uncommon beats. They also take equal inspiration from their training in Indian classical dance. Riya and Sara are both professional Bharatnatyam dancers with over a decade of experience. Together the electrifying qualities formulate gems of listening pleasure that the Western pop world has been craving.
The young superstars’ culmination of a marathon release of songs will help them become global sensations. Having grown up in New York city in an eclectic Indian American household, MYSTX takes innovation from seamless blends of sounds from all over the globe. Their vision is rooted in what has been instinctive to them since their youth. The trio’s maternal grandmother was also a renowned Carnatic and Hindustani classical singer in her time. The passion for performance is in their blood and beats as strongly as their connection to Indian melody and rhythm. From their rich heritage comes incredibly danceable sothe unds that they believe the world is now ready to discover.
“We hope that each of our upcoming EPs starting with this first one will take inspiration from countless musical genres in India including Hindustani, Carnatic, Rajasthani Folk, and Qawwali,” collectively MYSTX states. “We want to proudly showcase just how diverse, and dope Indian music really is. More than that, we want to make music that reflects just how naturally these sounds blend into the Western pop world.”
Currently Riya and Sara are juniors at Harvard College while Kavi is a freshman in the Harvard Berklee Dual Degree program. Taking time in between classes, the trio dedicates their lives to music as equally as studying.

MYSTX has future plans to develop more music with the hitmaker.
