Ankur Tewari

Ankur Tewari is an independent musician who has been writing and releasing music since 1998. He has released several albums and singles, including records for children. While Tewari has crafted quite a name for himself as a singer-songwriter, the artist has gone on to develop as a prominent music supervisor for films in recent years. Tewari’s role as music supervisor for the 2019 blockbuster Bollywood film Gully Boy saw him pick up numerous accolades, including a Filmfare Award for Best Lyricist for the song “Apna Time Aayega.” In 2022 he led music for the Indian noir romantic drama Gehraaiyaan, for which he was nominated for Best Lyricist that same year at the International Indian Film Academy Awards (IIFA). Tewari’s music supervision role continues as he’s worked on The Archies and Kho Gaye Hum Kahaan, both on Netflix. He is the creative music architect and producer of Coke Studio Bharat. 2023 also saw Tewari join forces with Indian film directors and writers Zoya Akhtar and Reema Kagti to launch Tiger Baby Records, a music label with a focus on telling compelling stories from the world of audio.
