Speaking about his career change in an interview, he said:
I have been composing music and playing instruments such as the piano since I was a child. Even though I am an engineering student, I enjoy playing music in my spare time. After completing my engineering degree I used to write, produce music and perform locally while working full time to gain more experience. I had the talent, passion and ambition to thrive in the music industry, so a few of my friends at the time encouraged me to take music more seriously. I chose to apply to the Berklee Masters program and to my surprise, I was accepted despite having no previous formal music training. That was my turning point. “
In 2016, he performed at TEDxBerkleeValencia. After working in Europe and the US for a while, the former engineer and UX designer decided to return to Mumbai from Los Angeles in 2017 and start over.

Although he’s been making weird remixes and launchpad videos since 2014, he gained popularity in 2020 for his quirky music-related social media posts. During the Covid-19 lockdown, he created several viral mashups on social media such as Babu Babu, Kesariya Tony Kakkar Version, Chori Patata Hai and Mujhe Drugs Do feat. Arnab Goswami. His first viral meme set was an experiment in which he added a beat to Arnab Goswami’s dramatic announcement of banning Chinese apps in India. Talking about the same in an interview he said,
I started posting funny posts on my page instead of just showing off my singing prowess. Around the time TikTok was banned in India and Reels took off, I recorded Arnab Goswami’s dialogue and mixed it with beats. I thought it would make my then-less than 2,000 fans smile. The next day, it was everywhere. “

Jumani’s clips are diverse and include dialogues from Tarak Mehta Ka Oolta Chashma (“Nimbu Pani feat Bapuji”), bombastic speeches by primetime news anchors, Rakhi Sawant’s Insta rants, and more.
