Indian independent artist Gajendra Verma counts Lucky Ali and KK among his inspirations. Just like those 1990s icons, the singer, songwriter and composer has become a voice of his generation. His signature hit, 2018’s “Tera Ghata”, is a twist on the traditional breakup ballad—instead of moping that things are over, he moves on with subtle swagger. His soft-rock ballads and electro-pop bangers find him falling in and out of love—a soundtrack to modern romance.
