Aksomaniac Essentials

Aron Kollassani Selestin—better known as Aksomaniac—started releasing music in 2021 and immediately made sensual R&B his calling card. The singer-songwriter-producer from Trivandum, Kerala, sang in English about self-love and expression but then began creating Malayalam songs like “Kanmashi” and “Amsham”. The star, who blends western classical, R&B and jazz with soulful Malayalam lyrics and Carnatic elements, effortlessly took his mystique and vocal range to wider audiences, crafting intimate stories like few others. Welcome to a standout voice in the new wave of Indian independent music.
