At 14, Sahil Verma had the Tomorrowland Music Festival logo stuck on his closet at home in Mumbai where he grew up; he even dreamed of being part of that EDM extravaganza someday.
As the years passed, the dream became stronger. When Sahil saw Tiesto perform in Mumbai, that he realised this is exactly where he wanted to reach. However, his mother wanted him to be a Bollywood singer; so she put him through training in Indian classical music.
“As a young boy, I used to be jealous of my friends playing sports whereas I was practising my ragas in a room with a harmonium. Now, when I look back, I couldn’t be more thankful, Indian classical music has helped my musical abilities/instincts in more ways than I could ever imagine. I promise, this is only the beginning and I am going all in; but what a beautiful beginning though,” says Sahil.
