Anuv Jain is an Indian singer, songwriter and composer.[1] He is well known for his baritone voice and simple chorded songs with lyrics mostly dealing with love and heartbreak. He mostly uses only a guitar or a ukulele, unaccompanied by percussion or other instruments.[1][2][3]

One of the most popular indie artists, "Baarishein" (2018), "Alag Aasmaan" (2020), "Gul" (2021) and "Husn" (2023) are some of his best known works.[4][5][6][7]. His song Husn ends up ranking No.1 on Apple Music India charts for all genres[8]

Early life and career

Jain was born in Ludhiana. When he was 19 years old, his father died after having been in a coma for two years, and Jain began to write songs as a way to express his emotions, saying, "I try to tell stories through my music".[9][10] He started by uploading original work on his YouTube channel, the first song being "Meri Baaton Mein Tu", after which "Baarishein" followed. In an interview with Rolling Stone India, he said he gets inspiration from real life incidents and writes songs over a period of months.[11] He mainly cites Joji as his inspiration.[12]

In 2018, he released his first single "Baarishein". During the COVID-19 pandemic, he decided to pursue music as a full-time career.[1] He has also performed live shows across the country.[12][13]"Baarishein" became his first song to cross 100 and 200 million streams on Spotify. "Husn" became smash hit and garnered more than 50 million streams within the first month of its initial release.[14]
