In this episode, I sit down with the my friend, Varun Jain to unravel the stories of music, friendship and his journey through the bollywood music scene.

Meet Varun Jain, a remarkable musician whose journey from the small town of Aligarh to the heart of Bollywood's music scene is nothing short of inspiring. Gaining popularity through his soul-stirring YouTube covers, Varun has carved a niche for himself in the industry, collaborating with musical giants like Amit Trivedi, Pritam, and Sachin-Jigar. His talent truly shone through in last year's blockbuster hit, "Tere Vaaste," and continued to captivate audiences with "Ishqa," his single under Universal Music.
