Artist Biography
Hindi singer-songwriter Vilen specialises in tender ballads with an electronic edge, exploring stories of love, mental health, gender discrimination and more.
• Born Vipul Dhanaker and raised in New Delhi, the singer worked in secret for over a year on his debut song “Ek Raat”, unveiling the heartbreaking 2018 track to friends and family at the same time as the rest of the world.
• With songs like “Savan”, the artist shares his thoughts on life’s complications—which often run beyond the simple good and bad—with a positive, motivational focus.
• He has also adopted different musical guises to tackle hot-button issues. On “Ravan”, he turns to bone-rattling hip-hop beats on a seething song against sexual harassment.
• Vilen’s more light-hearted, cheeky side can be heard in songs like “Rataan”, where he attempts to woo the object of his affection.
