From Engineering, to Diamonds, to Music...

Sahil is a soulful singer-songwriter based in Mumbai, writing and performing seamlessly in English and Hindi. His journey into music is one that inspires some and surprises many.

​

Music found him early in life - lingering in classrooms, echoing through family gatherings and quietly shaping his sense of self. 

Alongside this creative passion, ran another strong interest - science - which led him to graduate with a Mechanical Engineering degree from Stanford University in 2008.

​

At the time, due to the global financial crisis, Sahil joined his family’s diamond trading business as it presented itself to him as the most practical and stable option. Over the next decade, Sahil grew immensely as a businessman and gained invaluable life experience. But despite outward success, he still felt a void - music remained his true calling that he did not want to ignore. Unwilling to live with any regrets, Sahil chose courage over comfort and stepped away from the business to pursue music as a full time career. 

​

Now he pours lived experiences, vulnerability, and soul into every note, embracing the beautiful unpredictability of the journey.

​

Sahil’s heartfelt songs live in the space between love, connection, and quiet reflection. He writes, composes and sings with instinctive honesty, keeping melodies and lyrics simple, letting the emotion speak for itself.

Sahil believes music should be free of rules and expectations, shaped only by lived experiences and feelings. His songs thus flow to him in moments of creativity and thought, untouched by formula.
