Originally hailing from Rajasthan, Jassu shifted to Mumbai in 1995 to fulfill his dreams. He is very inspired by his father who was a very famous devotional lyricist. Jassu met popular composer Nakash Aziz in the year 2006. His first work as a musical composer in a Television series was NDTV Imagine's Chandragupta Maurya with Aziz.
Currently, Jassu is giving music to six popular Indian daily soaps. Starplus's Anupamaa being one, and other shows include Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, Faltu, and Pandya Store.
