Vishal-Shekhar, consisting of musical duo Vishal Dadlani and Shekhar Ravijani is one of the leading music composers in the Hindi film industry. This is one of the very few duos in the industry for whom we can say for certain that the name is enough to instantly recognise the artists! Together, they have produced numerous hits for various films and are more popular as a duo than individually, which is probably great for their fans, who get to see two supremely talented artists performing together.
They rose to prominence in 2003 by composing songs for the film Jhankaar Beats and the song “Tu Aashiqui Hai” particularly gained the audiences attention. Thereafter, they went on to produce for different films like Student Of The Year, Bang Bang, Dus, Chennai Express and so on. They received the Filmfare RD Burman Award for New Music Talent for Jhankaar Beats. We surely know them as the geniuses behind most hit songs that we enjoy swaying to!
Their compositions like ‘Swag Se Swagat’ and ‘Nashe Si Chadh Gayi’ made them attract millions of fans and viewers and the latter went onto becoming one of the fastest songs to hit the 100million views on YouTube. More than just the composition, this duo knows just how to get everyone’s groove on with their thumping and eccentric beats, and we mean everyone!
They also give stage performances together in different parts of the world. While Vishal is also a vocalist with the Mumbai-based band Pentagram, Shekhar is a trained classical singer.
In 2016, the duo collaborated with the British band The Vamps for single ‘Beliya’ and made magic. This is a duo that is recognised for their niche brand of music and composition that a very few people have been credited for in the industry.
