History

Instant Karma was formed after Bally Sagoo came out with his album of versions Bollywood Flashback in mid 1990s. Ehsaan and Loy thought of starting a band to do something comparable, if not better. They just did a couple songs one of them being Dil Kya Kare and forgot about them. Then Sony Music marketed Dil Kya Kare and it was a huge hit. After that Ehsaan, Loy and Farhad started with Instant Karma and compiling albums regularly.[2]

Instant Karma employed many talented voices such as Shankar Mahadevan, Shaan, Zubeen Garg, Mahalakshmi Iyer.

The first two albums in the Dance Masti collection have sold about 700,000 copies.[3]
