Tejas

Spending his first 18 years in Dubai, where he consumed everything from American syndicated television, MTV, Star Wars, and Bollywood, Tejas never knew that his myriad influences would lead him to become one of India’s foremost English singer-songwriters and pop artists. Bringing together a variety of genres, including Rock, R&B, and Electronica, his music has been instrumental in shaping the landscape of independent English songwriting from the sub-continent. Whether playing festivals with a larger-than-life 12-piece band or intimate theaters, Tejas’ shows are always a cinematic experience fuelled by his unique energy, raw emotion, and brazen humour. Both of his previously released albums, Outlast (2021) and Make It Happen (2017), have been critically acclaimed, with the latter being included in the top 10 Best Indian albums of 2021 by Rolling Stone Magazine. His latest album Museum is a radical sonic shift and explores new territory by fusing English Pop with Indian Classical instrumentation. Tejas has travelled across the country to play sold-out shows at most major venues and music festivals, including Lollapalooza India, Bacardi NH7 Weekender, and VH1 Supersonic. He has supported Damien Rice, Lucy Rose, and Westlife on their Indian tours. He recently also burst onto the Bollywood scene as the voice of ‘Archie’ in the 2023 Netflix Musical The Archies (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) by Zoya Akhtar.
