My Compelling Story

Darshit Nayak is a professional singer based out of Ahmedabad, Gujarat. His most notable work so far is Tum Hi Ho Cover, which is amongst the popular versions of this song on YouTube and has got more than 6,00,000 views to date. Singing cover versions were never in his mind; Darshit started publishing his original songs on the internet in 2010. Though he received a positive response from those who listened to his tracks, he was still not able to reach a wider audience. In the meantime, he released one song called Baakhuda commercially on iTunes, Hungama.com, Nokia Ovi and artistaloud.com. Even then, Darshit’s work was not spreading as much as he would have liked. Earning money through music is secondary, independent music scenario in India has been so bad in the past. Acknowledging the challenges ahead of him, finally, Darshit decided that in order to get public attention, he will have to make full use of the internet (YouTube videos), and within three months, he was able to reach ten times number of people by doing Bollywood covers.
