He performed with some the biggest bands such as – Choti Sangeet Orchestra of Point Fortin, Dil Ki Awaaz  of Penal and the D Rampersad Indi Art Orchestra where he became the lead vocalist for the band.

As time went by Nishard started learning and playing the keyboard ,which was indeed a difficult task. He eventually started solo, a ‘one man band’ where he would sing,perform and play at the same time on his keyboard. He thrilled the crowd with this natural talent of his and people loved him.

It wasn’t too long after he met once again KI and Neval after many years of not seeing each other.  They then teamed up and produced two tracks with two different bands and another one “Om Shanti Om”. After this production he was officially invited to be a part of the Triveni Band, where he accompanied them on a tour to the Netherlands in 2008.
