Shashank Chandel: From Indie-Folk Rocker to Music Entrepreneur with Groove Globe

Kalyan, Maharashtra Sep 15, 2024 (EMWNews.com) – With over a decade of experience in the music industry, Shashank continues to redefine his artistic approach while contributing to the growth of the indie music scene. But his passion for music doesn’t stop at creating melodies–he has also ventured into entrepreneurship by launching Groove Globe, a self-funded indie hip-hop record label.

A Musical Journey Rooted in Passion

From humble beginnings, Shashank’s musical journey started with performances in local gigs across Mumbai, blending genres of folk and rock. Drawing influences from Indian folk music icons like Raghu Dixit and Indian Ocean, and internationally acclaimed artists such as John Legend and John Mayer, Shashank has crafted a sound that is both personal and universal. His commitment to authenticity and lyrical depth has been the hallmark of his career.

The success of “Insane X Excuses”

Shashank’s major break came with his single “Insane X Excuses”, a song that garnered international attention and earned over 7 million streams across platforms like Spotify, YouTube, and Apple Music. The song’s success has put him on the global indie map, showing his ability to captivate diverse audiences while staying true to his roots.

Groove Globe: A Record Label for Indie Hip-Hop Artists

In 2023, Shashank took a bold step by founding Groove Globe, a record label dedicated to nurturing and promoting indie hip-hop artists in India. Unlike traditional labels that are backed by huge investments, Groove Globe is a self-sustained venture, demonstrating Shashank’s entrepreneurial spirit and his belief in the power of independent music. In its first year, Groove Globe has generated $3,700 in revenue without any external funding or venture capital.

Speaking about Groove Globe’s mission, Shashank says, “The indie hip-hop scene is growing rapidly, but the artists need the right support and platform. At Groove Globe, we’re not just a label–we’re a community that provides artists with the freedom to own their music and chart their creative paths.”

Agni The Band: A Fusion of Rock and Folk

Shashank is also a key member of Agni The Band, a well-known indie rock band that fuses elements of rock and folk music. As the lead guitarist and songwriter, Shashank continues to push the envelope with Agni’s energetic and electrifying live performances. Agni The Band has made a name for itself in the Indian independent music circuit, known for its powerful sound and engaging stage presence.

Upcoming Projects and Collaborations

Looking forward, Shashank has several exciting projects on the horizon, including collaborations with both established and upcoming artists. Under Groove Globe, he plans to release new music featuring fresh indie hip-hop talent from India. Shashank is also working on solo projects, blending new sounds while maintaining his signature style which has earned him a dedicated fan base.

“2024 is shaping up to be an incredible year for both my music and Groove Globe,” Shashank shares. “We’re already in talks with some amazing artists, and the future looks bright for indie music, both folk-rock and hip-hop, in India.”
