Vikram is a band from Mumbai. Their 2019 single 'Shokran' got attention internationally, becoming something of an anthem for listeners drawn to its themes of gratitude and connection. The track's appeal crossed borders, though some critics dismissed it as straightforward pop while others found its message resonant.
Their lineup includes Siddharth Basrur on vocals, Samidh Thakur on guitar, Saurabh Suman on bass, and Shubham Suman on drums. They put out a debut EP in 2018 that mixed folk, rock, and pop elements, and followed with a full-length album in 2021. Other songs in their catalog include 'The Mortal Dance Of Kali,' 'Andaluzia,' and 'Gypsy Tragedy.'
Early on, the band dealt with financial strain and limited opportunities, but they built a loyal following. Their music pulls from Indian classical, Western folk, and pop, with lyrics that lean introspective. They haven't chased a single sound, instead letting those influences surface across their work.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
