The Rise Of The Female DJs ELECTROVERTZ ARE AMONG THE MANY WOMEN FIRING UP THE NEW EDM SCENE IN INDIA

Gini is quietly changing the face of Indian pop. The 19-year-old stars on the cover of Rolling Stone India’s special “Future of Music” issue. In the feature, the “Sukoon” singer opens up about her roots, spending countless hours on Clubhouse during the pandemic, growing a loyal community, and eventually taking the plunge to chase music full-time. With nearly half a million Spotify listeners and a sold-out tour to her name, Gini’s just getting warmed up.

Parmish Verma is Rolling Stone India's latest cover star. The actor and rapper is all the buzz right now as the lead and music director of JioHotstar’s latest series, “Kanneda,” where he brings the sound and struggle of 1990s Canada to life. “I wanted the music to feel lived-in, like it belonged to the time and place we were portraying,” Verma tells us. “There’s a rawness to the underground sound that we embraced, and at the same time, we honored the polished production that was gaining traction in the mainstream.”

Addison Rae took over TikTok. Now, she's set her sights on pop music as Rolling Stone India's February 2025 cover star. She became a social-media superstar thanks to killer dance moves and an overflow of Southern charm. Can she reinvent herself as a pop supernova — and earn respect along the way?

Coldplay is Rolling Stone India’s January 2025 cover star, celebrated as one of the biggest and happiest bands in the world. In a candid conversation, frontman Chris Martin opens up about the band’s growth, revealing how letting go of worries and tuning out critics has allowed them to reach new heights. “We’re consciously trying to fly the flag for love being an approach to all things,” Martin says, highlighting the band’s mission to spread positivity through their music.

Bruce Springsteen and Zach Bryan are Rolling Stone India's latest cover stars, as part of #MusiciansOnMusicians 2024. Two great American songwriters meet up and go deep on the perils of stardom, classic country, the troubled state of the union, and more.

Rolling Stone India’s newest cover stars are the talented artists who took the stage at Spotify’s Rap 91 live showcase on November 10 in Mumbai. The 2024 lineup from Spotify highlights the diversity and energy of India’s hip-hop scene, featuring artists from different backgrounds, styles, and perspectives that represent the country’s unique approach to the genre.

Pritam is Rolling Stone India’s latest cover star. The Bollywood music composer revisits the success of hit songs like “Kesariya” from ‘Brahmastra: Part One – Shiva,’ his new collaboration with Norwegian EDM star Alan Walker and goes even further back to his roots in Kolkata and loving rock music.


Out September 2024 cover star is Talwiinder. The Punjabi star opens up about his path from a small village in Punjab to international fame, offers a rare glimpse into the man behind the mask, and shares insights into his highly anticipated album, MISFIT.

Our August 2024 cover star is Hanumankind. The Indian rap star behind chart-topping hit "Big Dawgs" has a unique vantage point, being one of the few English rappers from India to gain global recognition. He discusses what his new-found fame means for his family, his crew and his future.

Our July 2024 cover star is Shakira. The Colombian star takes a deep dive into how she channeled the tumult of the last few years – including her divorce from Spanish footballer Gerard Piqué, family health issues and legal cases – into making unabashed hits that brought her back into global acclaim.



Our June 2024 cover star is Cardi B. The star brings us into the studio with her as she works on her next album and talks about new music, how she paved the way for women in rap, her disappointment in Joe Biden, her relationship with Offset, and a whole lot more.

Arjun Kanungo is Indian pop’s ambassador to the world. The hitmaker and entrepreneur is Rolling Stone India’s May 2024 cover star. The voice behind songs like “Ilzaam” and albums ‘Industry’ and ‘Industry2’ has now taken his ambitions into the music industry to new levels, stepping into an entrepreneurial role with his label One Mind Music and making serious steps to become big in Japan. With a label branch in Japan and a technology company also set up, Kanungo is taking charge. He says, “I think it’s taken a lot of confidence for me to realize that my shit was good enough.”

King is unstoppable. Rolling Stone India proudly presents the chart-topping artist as the cover star of its April 2024 “Future of Music” issue. King’s meteoric rise in the Indian music scene has been beyond commendable. With over 10 million monthly listeners on Spotify and global hits like “Maan Meri Jaan (Afterlife)” featuring Nick Jonas and “Tu Aake Dekhle,” the superstar asserts he’s merely at the threshold of his journey. “My dream is still far ahead. Everything I’m accomplishing now is just a stepping stone towards the ultimate dream."

Ustad Zakir Hussain is Rolling Stone India’s March 2024 cover star. He will turn 73 soon and he has just won three Grammys. But that is not going to slow down the maestro. The Shakti band member is as busy with his Hindustani classical and fusion projects as he was when he started his career nearly six decades ago.

The spotlight is on Rolling Stone India’s February 2024 cover star, Eric Nam. Ahead of his debut performance in India, the 35-year-old singer opens up about his journey, what his sound essentially captures, and how impacting people remains the centerpiece of what he does.


Meet our January 2024 cover star, Dua Lipa. After a whirlwind couple of years, the wildly ambitious pop star is embracing freedom and fun — both in her life and on her upcoming album. As she kicks off a new era, she lets us into her dreams, her anxieties, and what she wants to stand for.

Nick Van De Wall, aka Afrojack, is more than a craftsman. From creating the tangible out of the intangible, to his experience performing at India's OnePlus AI Music Festival, the beatsmith graces the December 2023 cover of Rolling Stone India.

All eyes on Rolling Stone India's November cover star, ᏦᏚᎻᎷᎡ. Fresh off the most anticipated hip-hop album in the country, the Kashmiri-American DJ and producer shares the journey of 'Karam'. Other stories include The Beatles, Jacob Collier, Shruti Haasan and more. 

Our October 2023 cover star is the multi-talented composer, director, and singer Ankur Tewari.
From curating music for the rebranded Coke Studio Bharat, to launching a new solo album, and scoring music for the upcoming film 'The Archies,' it has been a busy year for the singer-songwriter.

In this month's issue of Rolling Stone India, we bring you an eclectic mix of music and artist stories that promise to captivate your senses. From an intimate conversation with rap sensation AP Dhillon to an exclusive interview with the legendary Dolly Parton about her latest rock-inspired album, and a chat with the members of Sublime with Rome. There are also stories on artists such as Sunflower Tape Machine, Vasvi, MC Square and more. 

Bad Bunny conquered the world. Now what? Global megastar Bad Bunny graces the cover of our August 2023 Issue and talks about staying true to himself while dealing with tabloid attention.


Rising rock phenomenon LØREN graces the cover of Rolling Stone India's July 2023 issue. The South Korean powerhouse opens up about finding creativity in loneliness, making the jump from club DJ to rockstar, and his desire to earn a place within the genre and culture that saved him.

Our cover stars this month are digital creator Niharika NM and rapper Srushti Tawade, who talk about navigating creativity, why they prefer writing solo, and the personas they have to project to the world. The pair also address how local references have gone global and whether we might see a collab between them, following their work with Budweiser Beats to highlight creative struggles and journeys.


New Delhi rapper IKKA graces our May 2023 cover. The artist says, "I had big dreams and throughout my childhood, there has been a rollercoaster ride with a lot of highs and lows.”


Our April 2023 cover star is Ed Sheeran. In his most revealing interviews ever, the pop superstar opens up about death, illness, grief, depression, and addiction.


Music legend A.R. Rahman graces our March 2023 cover along with the Top 24 artists he is mentoring from NEXA Music, a nationwide talent platform which scouts, mentors and amplifies independent musician writing and performing in the English language. NEXA Music is presented by Qyuki Digital Media.

The Grammy and Oscar-winning composer says, “I'm glad I'm part of this revolution. India is known for film music, classical music and folk music. But independent English-language music is probably the orphaned area, the ignored space.”

According to Rahman, the time has arrived to create the breeding ground for the next generation of artists. He says, “The right time for paving paths is now.”


The dynamic Bhuvan Bam graces our February 2023 cover.

“Frankly, there's no rocket science to success. It depends on each individual, how they perceive success and what success means to them. For me, if I am getting work in the future because of my current project, I think that's success for me.”

Our January 2023 cover celebrates the legacy of Shakti, one of the world’s most prodigious fusion bands on the eve of their forthcoming 50th anniversary India tour.

From the best Indian singles to albums, music videos and more, our December 2022 issue celebrates artists and music that shaped this year.

The second wave of Indian hip-hop is exciting and who better than Mumbai-based rapper Srushti Tawade to lead the movement. In her latest interview, Tawade discusses her beginnings, ambitions and more.
