Two of Bollywood's versatile singers Nikhita Gandhi & Shashwat Singh talk about their new musical collaboration
If you've ever wondered what happens when two of Bollywood's most versatile playback singers join forces, Shashwat Singh and Nikhita Gandhi have the answer: ShNik. This dynamic duo has been making waves in the industry for years, but with their new musical collaboration, they're setting out to create an entirely new sound for independent music.
Their debut song, 'Kaahe', which is a blend of folk and hip-hop influences, is just the beginning of this musical journey.
Shashwat and Nikhita have known each other since 2010, from their days at AR Rahman's music school in Chennai. Over the years, they have collaborated on multiple projects, but ShNik was born out of a shared creative vision. "We've always written and composed music together and have been experimenting with different styles," says Shashwat.
Talking about the genesis of 'Kaahe', Shashwat says, "Recently, Nikhita has been producing a lot of hip-hop music, while we've also been drawing inspiration from the folk traditions. This fusion really resonated with us, and we felt it deserved its own identity."
