Didn't know this would be my path: Dhvani Bhanushali on having music career
New Delhi, Singer Dhvani Bhanushali, known for tracks such as "Vaaste", "Leja Re", "Psycho Saiyaan" and "Kinna Sona", says making a music career wasn't her "first dream", but it kept finding her throughout. Didn't know this would be my path: Dhvani Bhanushali on having music career Bhanushali posted a series of pictures and clips on her Instagram handle on Saturday on the occasion of World Music Day, which is celebrated annually on June 21. The post began with the singer's recent picture holding a microphone. Followed by throwback pictures from her performances. The 27-year-old singer, who made her acting debut with "Kahan Shuru Kahan Khatam" in 2024, said she didn't know music would be her path. "I didn't always know this would be my path. Music wasn't the first dream, but maybe it was the one quietly waiting for me all along. My dad saw something in me before I could even name it. A spark. A sound. A possibility. And my mom... her dream lived in silence, tucked away in the corners of her heart. Today, I get to carry it forward-not just for me, but for her too," she wrote in the caption. Bhanushali said her journey was never a "straight line". "From school stages and clumsy notes to finding a voice that finally felt like mine, this journey has never been a straight line. There have been moments that tested everything I had. Days where the silence felt heavier than the sound. But music kept showing up for me. And so, I kept showing up for it," she wrote. "These old photos aren't just memories; they're proof of every small beginning, every leap of faith, every time I chose to keep going. On World Music Day, I'm grateful for the little girl who didn't know where it would lead, but kept singing anyway! Here's to celebrating the story behind it all, a story still unfolding," she concluded. Bhanushali made her song debut with "Ishtehaar" from the 2018 film "Welcome to New York". Sung by Bhanushali alongside Rahat Fateh Ali Khan from the lyrics by Charanjeet Charan, the track was composed by Shamir Tandon.

Dhvani Bhanushali on navigating her next sound and dreams: ‘I'm manifesting collab with Diljit Dosanjh'
As the music industry evolves rapidly with the influence of social media and digital algorithms, artists are constantly challenged to keep pace while staying authentic. For Dhvani Bhanushali, this balance is not just necessary, it's non-negotiable. In an exclusive interview with Hindustan Times on the occasion of World Music Day, Dhvani opened up about her creative process, the role of personal experience, and her aspirations for global music collaborations. Dhvani Bhanushali highlights the significance of authenticity in music, focusing on personal experiences over social media trends Instead of chasing virality, Dhvani finds inspiration in the everyday conversations, moments of joy, heartbreak, and observation. It's this emotional honesty that makes her music so widely relatable. While she acknowledges that platforms like Instagram offer endless ideas and trends, she cautions against losing oneself in the crowd. "We are constantly influenced by what we see and experience. Life experience is very important for making music. As you live life, themes and stories come to you. When you see Instagram, you see people exploring different things. But you also realise that sometimes, when you try and experiment too much, you forget who you truly are as an artist. I feel you should derive from your own experiences rather than what other people are doing. My algorithm will be defined by me and my audience," Dhvani said. For Dhvani, that 'algorithm' isn't about formulas or filters, it's about connection. What her listeners feel, what resonates in their lives, and what echoes her own emotions form the true foundation of her creative direction. The Pop Romance Era Dhvani's last number, Aankhon with OAFF, Savera, and Ankur Tewari, was a different soundscape from her usual numbers. "I think I got cooler with it. I have never done anything like this before. I wanted to talk about a situationship, and I think it resonated with my audience." Dhvani is now looking forward to putting out music all this year. "I am back to Afro soundscape, which I touched upon when I did Mera Yaar. My next is a proper club number. Now, I am diverging more into pop romance and moving away from the sad girl era. I am in a happy space. I would want to stick to pop, romance, the beats," Dhvani said. Eyes on the global stage Dhvani's vision isn't limited by borders. The singer is clear about her global ambitions and the artists who inspire her. 'I really want to work with Camila Cabello. I have been a fan of hers since the time I began. I love Post Malone.' These choices reflect a fusion of pop, soul, and versatility, very much like her own evolving sound. And while she's set her sights internationally, one collaboration hits closer to home. 'I am manifesting a collaboration with Diljit Dosanjh… I always tell him he is such an inspiration for so many artists, including me.' Having previously collaborated with Diljit on the massive hit Sauda Khara Khara in Good Newzz, Dhvani sees him as a role model—proof that Indian artists can break boundaries and cross cultures.
