Had it not been for the (very) early success that he received as a producer and DJ, Gurgaon-based musician Zaeden would have done then, what he's only beginning to do now. In 2014, his rendition of popular English tracks brought him into the good books of revered international artistes, and eventually led him to secure spots at festivals like Tomorrowland and Marenostrum, and gigs in the concerts of David Guetta and Justin Bieber.

"Singing comes naturally to me because my father is also a singer. Since I received success early [as a producer], singing took a back-seat. Now, I decided to give this a shot," says Zaeden, who had grown increasingly despondent with his career as a DJ, a craft that failed to offer the challenges that he was seeking as an artiste.
