Aditya Rikhari

Out of the scores of independent Indian singer-songwriters to have emerged during the pandemic, Uttarakhand-born, New Delhi-based Aditya Rikhari is one of the few to have gathered a dedicated fanbase since making his debut in early 2020. The composer’s amiable brand of romantic Hindi pop, exemplified by the light and breezy “Faasle”, has garnered millions of streams on the strength of his emotive vocals and relatable lyrics. His success has captured the attention of major labels—including Universal Music and T-Series, through which he’s put out several singles—while his prolific schedule has ensured the hits have kept on coming.
