MUMBAI: Pop Rock band, SANAM, associates with VYRL Originals for the release of its latest single. Known for its classic covers and originals, SANAM will now be coming up with a non-film single for their fans.
SANAM has carved a niche in the music industry with their unique style creating a genre for the classics, for the music lovers. The band has made pathbreaking music, showing their versatility, time and again with their latest World Cup Anthem with international artists from all around the World. SANAM is ranked as a top band on the digital space with over 6 Million subscribers on YouTube already. Today their association is sure to create a benchmark for non-film music.
The band has always believed in being independent artists, until they met VYRL Originals team. VYRL Originals has been the frontrunner in developing the culture and category of non-film music in India and the collaboration with SANAM is a befitting partnership of music ideologies. Non-film music has been making its way into top music charts across the country and it’s a rage amongst the youth who are looking for new and meaningful original music today.
“SANAM has been amongst the biggest music artist digitally in India for a while now. And VYRL is a very promising platform for independent releases. This association will ramp up the game for SANAM & VYRL to reach out to newer audience and markets. I can see a lot of synergy in this association given the enthusiasm of the VYRL team and concordance in our approach on independent music and the need to revive it.” said Ben Thomas, Business Manager of SANAM band, Founder & MD, Kurian & Co Talent Management
Commenting on the association of the band, SANAM shared "Our association with VYRL began more than a year ago, when our manager Ben Thomas met with Vinit. The comfort of working independently has always been our strength. Because we like to enjoy the process of making music together and every song to us is a story that goes beyond just how many views you can get on YouTube. However, with VYRL, we have finally found a comfortable team who believe in the same things we believe in. We are excited to explore this association further!”
Speaking on the association, Vinit Thakkar, Senior Vice President, Universal Music Group India & South Asia, said, “SANAM is undoubtedly one of the finest bands in the country and I have personally been a big fan of them. They are extremely talented singer-song-writers and I have great respect for their craft. We at VYRL Originals are privileged to work with SANAM and are in an incredible position to feature their originals to new heights in the non-film music space.”
MUMBAI: Mumbai is about to witness something it has never seen before. The Global Youth Festival arrives on 6-7 December at Jio World Garden with 15,000 attendees and 60-plus experiences sprawled across six sprawling arenas. On its sixth edition, this is no ordinary jamboree—it is a carefully orchestrated collision of wellness, adventure, arts, music, yoga and social change.
Chief Minister of Maharashtra Devendra Fadnavis will throw open the proceedings with a landmark ceremony, signalling the state’s backing for a movement that has already mobilised youth across 20-plus countries and 170-plus cities. The sheer scale is staggering: 500-plus volunteers powering the machine, 600,000-plus volunteer hours logged across previous editions, and millions of lives touched annually.
The speaker roster is formidable. Diipa Büller-Khosla and Dipali Goenka, chief executive of Welspun India, will share the stage with Malaika Arora in conversations spanning leadership, creativity and culture. Union Minister for Sports and Youth Affairs Mansukhbhai Mandaviya will also attend, reinforcing GYF’s reach into the corridors of power.
But this is not mere talk. The Solaris Mainstage promises concerts from renowned Indian artists. Innerverse delivers a 360-degree LED spectacle of art, technology and sound. The Love and Care Arena houses hands-on projects spanning women’s empowerment, child education, rural upliftment and animal welfare. India’s largest outdoor sound-healing experience awaits. An inflatable obstacle course, neon drifter karts and open-sky bouldering cater to thrill-seekers.
Some have branded GYF the “Coachella of Consciousness.” Others call it “India’s Largest Sober Festival.” Spiritual visionary Pujya Gurudevshri Rakeshji, who inspired the festival, will deliver the Wisdom Masterclass. Every rupee goes to charity.
After Mumbai comes Kolkata on 14 December. New York looms next year. For one weekend in December, Mumbai becomes the epicentre of youth-driven change—and nothing will be quite the same after.
