Sparsh Shah, fondly known as “Purhythm,” is not just a 25-year-old artist, he's a beacon of resilience, talent, and hope.
A singer, songwriter, rapper, poet, and inspirational speaker, Sparsh has captured hearts around the world with his music, courage, and unwavering positivity. Born with Osteogenesis Imperfecta, commonly known as Brittle Bone Disease, Sparsh has endured over 130 fractures in his lifetime ; 40 of them at birth alone. Doctors gave him only two days to live, but Sparsh had a different plan.
He defied the odds and chose to live each moment with passion and purpose. Today, he doesn’t just live, he shines. Though bound to a wheelchair, Sparsh’s spirit soars. Whether performing at community events, radio shows, or hosting television programs, his energy is infectious. His adorable way of encouraging audiences to clap along as he raps reveals not only his charisma but also his determination to bring joy to others. Sparsh’s physical limitations never limited his dreams.

Alongside his deep love for music, he writes songs, poems, and stories, composes his own tunes, and continues to learn Hindustani classical music. Fluent in four accents, he once stunned many by spelling the 45-letter word pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis in just 12 seconds, at the age of six! His bones may be fragile, but his spirit is unbreakable.
"I know I can’t stand up," Sparsh once said, "but I’ve made others stand up for me, with pride." His life is a testament to gratitude, perseverance, and faith. “When God closed the door on my ability to walk, He opened the door to my ability to sing,” he shared. “We should make it our mission to give others a reason to be grateful.”
One of Sparsh’s most remarkable milestones was performing at the GRAMMY stage, becoming one of the first artists of Indian origin to do so. In 2016, he was named one of the Top 4 Emerging Artists by the Recording Academy and performed at GRAMMY Park in Brooklyn.
Sparsh Shah is not just an artist, he’s a living miracle, a force of inspiration, and a reminder that limitations can become our greatest strengths when faced with courage, gratitude, and love.
