Early life
Dey was born and brought up in Mumbai.[9] When she was born, her parents were struggling to make ends meet, as her father worked as a session musician. He noticed her musical talent before Mohini turned 3 years old and started to nurture it from that point. She received her first Fender Jazz Bass guitar when she was 9 or 10 years old.[10][3]
She was a prodigy, giving performances since she was 11. Her talent was noticed by her father's friend Ranjit Barot, who took her on his band's tours. She was also mentored by jazz exponent Louis Banks.[11]
Music career
She released her self-titled debut album in August 2023.[12] Dey and husband Mark Hartsuch play together in the band MaMoGi, along with drummer Gino Banks.[13] She has collaborated with Steve Vai, Marco Minnemann,[14][15] Jordan Rudess[16] of Dream Theater, Jason Richardson,[17] Dewa Budjana,[18] Zakir Hussain, Sivamani, A. R. Rahman,[3] and Willow Smith.[19]
