Pop-timisitc beginnings

If you’re into smooth acoustic pop tunes, you can’t miss Akshath Acharya’s latest singles. This Mumbai-based singer-songwriter gained fame by sharing stripped-down covers of Bollywood hits on Instagram. Snapped up by record label BGBNG Music, the 23-year-old dropped original tracks like Gumshuda, Noor, Jadoo, and his most recent release, Khoya, last year. His choice of dreamy synths and mesmerising vocal harmonies makes him as a promising contender for the next big pop sensation.
