I had to start with my favourite from the list. 21 year old singer and songwriter, Aditi Saigal started her journey at a very young age. Daughter of the late Amit Saigal, rock musician and founder of India’s first rock magazine ‘Rock Street Journal’, she has become a niche sensation for Indians looking to expand their musical taste buds.

With 67 lakhs subscribers on Youtube she is an internet sensation and produces both original songs and covers. She gained popularity with her mashups between Bollywood songs and popular English pop music.
Her latest original song was released in April this year; it is called ‘Thalavi’ which means female leader in Tamil. She has dedicated this song to her mother, grandmother and all women who are hustling to achieve their dreams.
Another of my favourites and an outstanding musician, Aditi Veena started performing at the age of 14. After performing with different bands, she started her solo career in 2015. Her debut EP Mumblings garnered a lot of love from music lovers.
