Career

In 2008, Saha started messing around creating tracks and remixes inspired by punk rock band Blink-182 and Fall Out Boy. By 2011, he started creating songs under the moniker "No Pets Allowed." His remixes and mashups gained traction but by 2014, he did not want to be limited to just the dubstep genre. He retired the name and started creating music under a new name, Jai Wolf, that was inspired by Game of Thrones.
Within the first few months, the project began to land a string of official remix opportunities throughout 2014 for established artists including Melanie Martinez, Dirty South, Alesso and ODESZA – each remix earned him the #1 spot on Hype Machine. His biggest break came in late 2014 when Skrillex put his official stamp of approval on one of Jai Wolf’s songs by playing his remix at Glastonbury festival. In the summer of 2015, Jai Wolf released his debut single Indian Summer through ODESZA ’s label Foreign Family Collective. In November of 2016, he released Kindred Spirits.
