In 1998, Udyan co-founded Bandish Projekt with Mayur Narvekar and Mehirr Nath Choppra.[5] In 2007, Udyan left Bandish Projekt after working with Mayur for about 12 years, and rebuilt himself as "Nucleya".

In 2015, Nucleya released his debut album, Bass Rani, at a Ganpati visarjan on the streets of Mumbai.[8] In the following year, he released another album Raja Baja. 2019 marked the release of "Tota Myna".

In 2021, he released an EP titled Baaraat in collaboration with Ritviz. The four track EP was accompanied by a series of NFT.[9][10]

Nucleya, in collaboration with AIB, hosted and picked the winners of Bacardi House Party Sessions[11] in 2017. He has also been a judge on the Indian hip hop reality show MTV Hustle.[12] He has performed at EDC Las Vegas and Mexico, the Bacardi NH7 Weekender, Sunburn Festival, Zomaland by Zomato, Vh1 Supersonic and YouTube Fanfest. He has opened for and performed with Skrillex, Major Lazer, DJ Snake and Krewella.
