On Tuesday night, the Delhi-based singer-songwriter rolled into the city of dreams from Baroda. Shantanu Pandit has been making music for around a decade, and finally embarked on his first real tour—The Milk Teeth tour—as a solo artiste. He landed at the Ahmedabad airport on August 5 with his crew, and pushed the accelerator in his customised van for the India tour. Pandit established himself as a solo artiste with his 2014 EP, Skunk In The Cellar.

He confesses he is not usually a fan of Mumbai’s weather, but this time “it’s nice”. Sunday mid-day caught up with him on Wednesday, before his show in Harkat Studios. “I really enjoy travelling by road,” says the Delhi-based musician. “There is something about traversing the country in a van with your crew and instruments, as opposed to just flying out to different cities. Historically, it has always been the mode of transport [for musicians]. It’s just so romantic.” The van has been rented from Vahn, a startup pushing trucking venture, and has ‘Shantanu Pandit and The Milk teeth tour’ emblazoned across it, along with graffiti.
