An Assamese sensation, folk-fusion singer Papon skyrocketed to fame with his Bollywood hit tracks Moh Moh Ke Dhaage, Kaun Mera and Kyon. A producer, composer, singer, and the founding member of his band Papon and The East India Company, the jack of all trades has cemented his place as an A-lister in the Indian music industry. One of the most sought-after voices in the country, Papon is bringing Old School Jazz to life with his illustrious musical mastery on this Friday’s episode of Unacademy Unwind with MTV.
Revealing a heartfelt anecdote, Papon shares that he gravitated to music entirely on his own, despite his parents being notable folk singers in Assam. When he began his venture into music, his father told him to always make honest music that connects with the hearts of his listeners. His dedication to remaining true to himself shines through in his next performance, his reimagined rendition of Wahan Kaun Hai Tera composed by S.G. Verma. Keeping the quirky tune of the hit song intact, Papon displays his natural gift for his craft with expressive reinvention.
