Sony Music signs Mumbai based rapper & hip–hop artist Divine
MUMBAI: Sony Music Entertainment has signed on Mumbai based award winning rapper and hip-hop artist Vivian Fernandes aka Divine to its artist roster.
According to Sony Music, hip hop has transcended into a global urban culture and goes beyond music, it is a lifestyle and an attitude for people. And an artist like DIVINE represents that culture and is known for being ‘the Voice of the Streets’.
Encouraging the same culture Sony Music through Divine is looking to represent the voice of the youth and the word on the streets. Commenting on this, Divine said, “I am excited to be associated with one of the best labels in India and I couldn’t have asked for more. Together we are going to break some rules and create some great music.”
Divine shot to fame with his first single Yeh Mera Bombay (This is My Bombay), an ode to the diversity of the city and the increasing gap between the rich and the poor. This video went viral and thereafter received a lot exposure across media. His recent 2015 summer-smash “Mere Gully Mein,” where he raps about the streets of Mumbai and the ghettos garnered him an international listenership.
One can also hear Divine in Nucleya‘s latest track ‘Jungle Raja’ which was last heard at the opening act for Skrillex, where he featured along with Nucleya.
Born and brought up in the ‘gullies’ of Mumbai, Divine, through his music, narrates tales of people that he’s grown up observing since childhood while paying homage to the characteristics of the city.

New travel-food series premieres 29 March at 7:00 PM.
MUMBAI: Shipra Khanna just packed her bags and her flavours because when a celebrated chef takes you on a global plate tour, even the couch starts feeling like first-class. Warner Bros. Discovery India has announced the launch of World On My Plate with Shipra Khanna, a new travel and food series set to premiere on TLC on 29 March at 7:00 PM. Hosted and curated by the popular chef and television personality, the show blends food, travel and culture through an intimate and immersive lens.
Across three visually rich episodes, Shipra journeys to global destinations to explore not just what people eat, but why they eat it, uncovering the stories, traditions and human connections behind every dish. The series opens in London, weaving its iconic landmarks with diverse culinary scenes, before moving to Spain’s vineyards, olive orchards and coastal kitchens.
Warner Bros. Discovery head of advertising revenues for South Asia Tanaz Mehta said: “At TLC, our focus has always been on bringing authentic stories that reflect how people live and connect. World On My Plate builds on this by using food as a lens to explore shared traditions across geographies. We’re excited to collaborate with Chef Shipra Khanna, whose perspective brings both depth and relatability to these narratives.”
Shipra Khanna added, “Food has always been my way of connecting with people and understanding cultures. With World On My Plate, I’ve had the opportunity to step into new worlds, learn from incredible individuals, and share stories that go far beyond the plate. This show is very special to me.”
The series promises strong visual storytelling, meaningful interactions and a fresh perspective on global cuisine celebrating flavours alongside the emotions and traditions that shape them.
In a world where travel shows often feel like distant postcards, Shipra Khanna is serving up something far more personal: a passport to cultures through their kitchens, proving that the best way to understand a place is still through the plate. Tune in to World On My Plate with Shipra Khanna starting 29 March at 7:00 PM on TLC.
