Pritam is Rolling Stone India’s latest cover star.

Out September 2024 cover star is Talwiinder. The Punjabi star opens up about his path from a small village in Punjab to international fame, offers a rare glimpse into the man behind the mask, and shares insights into his highly anticipated album, MISFIT.

Our August 2024 cover star is Hanumankind. The Indian rap star behind chart-topping hit "Big Dawgs" has a unique vantage point, being one of the few English rappers from India to gain global recognition. He discusses what his new-found fame means for his family, his crew and his future.

With a label branch in Japan and a technology company also set up, Kanungo is taking charge. He says, “I think it’s taken a lot of confidence for me to realize that my shit was good enough.”

King is unstoppable. Rolling Stone India proudly presents the chart-topping artist as the cover star of its April 2024 “Future of Music” issue. King’s meteoric rise in the Indian music scene has been beyond commendable. With over 10 million monthly listeners on Spotify and global hits like “Maan Meri Jaan (Afterlife)” featuring Nick Jonas and “Tu Aake Dekhle,” the superstar asserts he’s merely at the threshold of his journey. “My dream is still far ahead. Everything I’m accomplishing now is just a stepping stone towards the ultimate dream."

Ustad Zakir Hussain is Rolling Stone India’s March 2024 cover star. He will turn 73 soon and he has just won three Grammys. But that is not going to slow down the maestro. The Shakti band member is as busy with his Hindustani classical and fusion projects as he was when he started his career nearly six decades ago.

The spotlight is on Rolling Stone India’s February 2024 cover star, Eric Nam. Ahead of his debut performance in India, the 35-year-old singer opens up about his journey, what his sound essentially captures, and how impacting people remains the centerpiece of what he does.


Meet our January 2024 cover star, Dua Lipa. After a whirlwind couple of years, the wildly ambitious pop star is embracing freedom and fun — both in her life and on her upcoming album. As she kicks off a new era, she lets us into her dreams, her anxieties, and what she wants to stand for.

Nick Van De Wall, aka Afrojack, is more than a craftsman. From creating the tangible out of the intangible, to his experience performing at India's OnePlus AI Music Festival, the beatsmith graces the December 2023 cover of Rolling Stone India.

In this month's issue of Rolling Stone India, we bring you an eclectic mix of music and artist stories that promise to captivate your senses. From an intimate conversation with rap sensation AP Dhillon to an exclusive interview with the legendary Dolly Parton about her latest rock-inspired album, and a chat with the members of Sublime with Rome. There are also stories on artists such as Sunflower Tape Machine, Vasvi, MC Square and more. 

Bad Bunny conquered the world. Now what? Global megastar Bad Bunny graces the cover of our August 2023 Issue and talks about staying true to himself while dealing with tabloid attention.


Rising rock phenomenon LØREN graces the cover of Rolling Stone India's July 2023 issue. The South Korean powerhouse opens up about finding creativity in loneliness, making the jump from club DJ to rockstar, and his desire to earn a place within the genre and culture that saved him.

Our cover stars this month are digital creator Niharika NM and rapper Srushti Tawade, who talk about navigating creativity, why they prefer writing solo, and the personas they have to project to the world. The pair also address how local references have gone global and whether we might see a collab between them, following their work with Budweiser Beats to highlight creative struggles and journeys.


New Delhi rapper IKKA graces our May 2023 cover. The artist says, "I had big dreams and throughout my childhood, there has been a rollercoaster ride with a lot of highs and lows.”


Our April 2023 cover star is Ed Sheeran. In his most revealing interviews ever, the pop superstar opens up about death, illness, grief, depression, and addiction.


Music legend A.R. Rahman graces our March 2023 cover along with the Top 24 artists he is mentoring from NEXA Music, a nationwide talent platform which scouts, mentors and amplifies independent musician writing and performing in the English language. NEXA Music is presented by Qyuki Digital Media.

The Grammy and Oscar-winning composer says, “I'm glad I'm part of this revolution. India is known for film music, classical music and folk music. But independent English-language music is probably the orphaned area, the ignored space.”

According to Rahman, the time has arrived to create the breeding ground for the next generation of artists. He says, “The right time for paving paths is now.”


The dynamic Bhuvan Bam graces our February 2023 cover.

“Frankly, there's no rocket science to success. It depends on each individual, how they perceive success and what success means to them. For me, if I am getting work in the future because of my current project, I think that's success for me.”

Our January 2023 cover celebrates the legacy of Shakti, one of the world’s most prodigious fusion bands on the eve of their forthcoming 50th anniversary India tour.

From the best Indian singles to albums, music videos and more, our December 2022 issue celebrates artists and music that shaped this year.

Niharika NM is our August 2022 cover star. The content creator opens up about her jump from YouTube to Instagram, dealing with unwarranted hate and the secret to digital domination.

Make way for Prajakta Koli aka Mostly Sane, our July cover star, while she leads the content game in the country as a Bollywood actor, digital creator, YouTuber and more!

Rising superstar Jack Harlow is our June 2022 cover star. He showed us around his hometown of Louisville, Kentucky and took us inside the studio for the making of his new album, 'Come Home the Kids Miss You.'

Our May 2022 cover star is Guru Randhawa, the superstar of Punjabi music joins us for a candid conversation where he talks about his songs, artistry, and the dreams he's yet to realize.
