Having trained in Hindustani Classical, Tushar Vashisht, recently released a new single, Kahaani. He has created Pop, Rock and Sufi songs and is now experimenting with Jazz and Blues too.
Tushar Vashisht has been learning and singing music since he was six and has trained in Hindustani Classical for years. Later, when he went abroad for further studies, he was part of a band and created original songs.
Vashisht says, “One of my first originals was called Pehchaan, which made it to America’s Best of College A Capella in 2008. It’s the only Hindi song to ever make it to the list. Since then, I have been busy with work and business.” He started his career as an investment banker, later joined Aadhar and finally, went on to create the app, HealthifyMe. In the last 10 years, the singer didn’t have time to focus on music yet managed to create a few songs. It was a-year-and-half ago, that he “fortunately” met Raghu Ramasubramanian at a concert and later jammed with him on a few songs. One of the songs is his latest release, Kahaani. Talking about the new song, Vashisht says, “It is about losing and finding someone, about love and how feeble it is. I am sure all of us can relate to the songs as everyone has loved and lost at some point. I was in a particularly down mood one day and had called Raghu, who told me to write the feelings into a song. An artist needs a muse and sometimes, heartache and in my life I have had both (laughs).”
