Singer Anuv Jain has made quite a name for himself in the independent music scene. With songs like Baarishein and Gul, the 28-year-old singer has captured the hearts of the young audience with his lilting tunes. Huge crowds gather at concerts to listen to him sing the stirring melodies unplugged. If you are still unaware of his popularity, you`ve surely heard his songs as part of viral Reels on Instagram. 

As the first guest of Mid-day`s latest YouTube series, Indie Insider, the singer, composer and songwriter talked about the surreal feeling he gets while performing live in front of thousands of people. The independent artist never imagined he`d reach this place in his life. "I thought I`ll have a 9 to 5 job," Anuv said when asked what he thought he would be doing in his life.
