Growing up, I was exposed to a lot of African music, thanks to my dad. I think it's because of that, that I have got some rhythm in my body, and can dance as well," says singer-songwriter Shayaan Oshidar. Her dad is Cyrus Oshidar, who once headed the creative and content departments at MTV and VH1, and garnered the youth's attention by giving them shows such as the now iconic Roadies.

Oshidar, who currently runs 101 India, which deals in digital content, laughs, "I don't know when she got into EDM. I am old school that way and like African music, jazz, opera... so that's what I used to play at home." But, as the 24-year-old, says, "Mom [Simeen] was into Indian classical, and made me listen to loads of Hindi music. She used to explain the lyrics to me. That's where the drive to do Hinglish music comes from. And, of course, I was a teenager, so I loved boy bands, and that's where my pop leanings come from. So, my aesthetic is a mix of many genres."
