“I really want people to watch the video and what makes me most happy is to watch the crowd go crazy when the chorus plays! This makes me do as many shows as I can. The only exhausting thing is travelling!,” says Sahil, before his performance in the city.

Revealing how he became a musician, Sahil says: “I was always bad in studies and music always interested me. One day I made a remix of ‘Magic’ by Coldplay for my sister and she loved it. Then, a friend sent it to Hardwell and it was played its radio the next day. It meant a big deal for me to get support from Hardwell at the age of 18. After this, my life just found a track and ever since I have been chasing my dreams! At the age of 19, I was playing at Tomorrowland! I am very excited to continue making music and try new styles!”
On the growing DJ culture in the country, Sahil says: “I think we have a very strong music scene right now with artists like Nucleya putting India on the global map and it makes me very happy to represent India wherever I go.”
