Warner Music India has agreed to partner with Renzu Music in music distribution. This independent label from Kashmir is all about promoting talent from the Valley. This partnership will create a pivotal moment for the Kashmir music scene, enabling local artists to reach a broader national and global audience, according to reports by Variety.
As the brainchild of Danish Renzu, a well-known filmmaker, Renzu Music has established its identity by discovering emerging voices from Kashmir and blending the region’s traditional sounds with cinematic-style storytelling. With Warner’s assistance in music distribution, the label should now promote its music far beyond the region.
With an eclectic list of artists, including Zahra Banoo, Noor Mohammad, Hyder Dar, Adam, Saqib Wani, Shivani Matyal, Bilal Tantray, and others, the label brings forth unique sounds, as many are either inspired by folk traditions or are adapting to the contemporary world.

The current evolutions are capturing the forging of several fusion numbers, including “Ranjha” by Noor Mohammad and Rashmeet Kaur, “Maryo” by Noor Mohammad and Shikha Joshi, and “Chingari” by IP Singh.
The alliance has forged applause from artists and celebrities who view it as much-needed authorisation for silenced Kashmiri voices, signifying an escalating acceptance of regional music within the mainstream music industry of India.
For Kashmir’s music fraternity, this accord opens doors to a coalition of opportunities for wider recognition and global stature.
