Karun

Alt hip-hop, ambient soul, and Indian textures — a singular baritone and a festival-proven stage presence built for the biggest rooms in the country.

01 — The Artist

Built from the underground, arrived at the anthem

"This album is a record of my personal history. I don't want to hide anymore."

Karun — The Indian Music Diaries, June 2025

Karun Kohli grew up writing poetry from age 11, graduated with a law degree, and walked away from it to make music. He first built his audience as part of Delhi's Teesri Duniya in 2017 and has grown into one of India's most emotionally precise crossover voices — one album at a time.

His signature is a singular baritone, a poet's lyric craft, and a love for great hooks. Every record crosses genres without losing the thread.

Signature Hit

Maharani

feat. Lambo Drive · Qabool Hai · 2022

150M+
Streams Across All Platforms

The melancholy yet melodic anthem that broke traditional norms of the Indian music industry — sitting on Spotify's Viral Charts for weeks in India and reaching global charts. At every show it is the singalong moment, with the crowd carrying every word before Karun even opens his mouth.

"Karun and Lambo Drive's 'Maharani' became a runaway hip-hop hit."

Rolling Stone India, February 2024

02

Second Biggest Hit

Mrignaini

9M+ Streams on Spotify · Crowd Singalong

Karun's second-biggest track continues to push the boundaries of his sound and remains a staple of his live sets — another crowd singalong that proves his catalogue runs deep well beyond Maharani. A shapeshifter by nature, it showcases the emotional range and hook-writing that keeps fans coming back.

03 — The Music

Chehre — 14 tracks, zero filters

His third album is a confessional diary and a sonic experiment at once. R&B meets pop meets Bollywood meets hip-hop meets soul. Across 14 tracks, Karun moves between trap, lo-fi, acoustic indie pop, qawwali-inspired hooks, and Indian classical textures — never losing the baritone thread.

"Chehre is an instant classic that will entertain fans both new and old."

The Indian Music Diaries, June 2025

"Chehre is a milawat of all the things and styles I love, but above everything, it is an Indian sounds-focused album."

04 — Why This Festival

A distinct Indian voice

01

Scale of reach, depth of loyalty

150M+ streams on Maharani, 686K monthly Spotify listeners — all organic. The fans who come to his shows arrive knowing every word of every song.

02

A poet's pen, a producer's ear

Started writing poetry at 11. That craft runs through every record — hooks that stay, verses that hit, and a live set that sounds exactly like the studio.

03

Plays to every room

His music crosses hip-hop fans, indie listeners, and mainstream Hindi pop audiences — the kind of diverse festival crowd he already plays to every night.

04

Peak momentum, right now

Chehre out in 2025, Rubbers in 2026, NH7 Weekender stage already under his belt. A festival slot lands him in front of the biggest room at exactly the right moment.

05 — Live Proof

A proven festival draw

Karun has headlined shows across Indian cities through 2025 and 2026, including the Do Bhai tour alongside Nanku — a landmark run that sold out headline dates in Delhi and beyond.

He performed at NH7 Weekender 2026 in Pune, sharing the bill with India's biggest independent acts in front of over 20,000 fans. The set proved he can hold a festival stage from the first note to the last.

  • Headline shows across Indian cities, 2025 and 2026
  • NH7 Weekender 2026, Pune — 20,000+ festival crowd
  • Do Bhai tour with Nanku — sold-out Delhi headline date
