| Sheykhar Ravjiani Releases His First Non-Film Hindi Love Song, RANG  RANG is the first non-film Hindi popular love song from one of India's most loved singers, lead film score composers and vocal mentors, Sheykhar Ravjiani, performing as SHEYKHAR. Literally translating as 'Colour' this is a beautiful Indian love song written in Brij Bhasha, composed with flavours of European music and performed on acoustic guitar, accordion and mandolin. After the first few bars of his new non-film pop song RANG, it is easy to see why success follows SHEYKHAR.Classically trained vocalist and accomplished playback singer, SHEYKHAR has lent his voice to highly popular tracks that have won him the love and adulation of fans all over the world. RANG is a very special song for SHEYKHAR as he relates in his own words - "In the past couple of years during the lockdown, when everything felt dark, the one thing that brought light and colour into my life as always, was music. While I composed a number of songs during this time, RANG was a song that resonated the most as it has the essence of a classic, it was a song that took me back to who I was before the world told me who I should be. I remember playing Rang for my mother who listened to it repeatedly with so much happiness in her eyes, that's when I knew that the world needs to hear this track too." RANG is written by the popular lyricist Priya Saraiya and is written from the woman's perspective in the West Hindi language of Brij Bhasha. SHEYKHAR's compelling vocal treatment complements the lyrics perfectly, "I have surrendered my mind, body and soul to your love What are these colours your love has brought into my life" It is fitting that SHEYKHAR has chosen Sufiscore as the label to release RANG. Sufiscore is not just a traditional label but a YouTube channel amassing millions of views of songs from the Asian and South Asian markets.

Having mentored over 300 contestants across 15 music reality shows, SHEYKHAR has recently extended his passion for nurturing young talent by launching the GIIS-Shekhar Ravjiani School of Music accessible to over 15, 000 students across 21 GIIS Schools where SHEYKHAR designs his own curriculum and unique style of teaching a generation what it means to be a musician today while staying true to one's roots.
