They say if you work relentlessly to make your dreams and passion come to life, then no force in the world can stop you from achieving what you desire. That’s just what happened to Sahil Sharma, the sensational DJ we all know as Zaeden. From mixing tapes of famous bands in his home to sharing the stage with some of the biggest international artists, this guy has come a long way. He speaks to us about his inspiration and what helps him move forward every day. Edited excerpts…
We couldn’t start this without asking, how did you come up with your stage name, Zaeden?
I was pretty convinced that I was never going to use my given name on stage. So, at that point, I started looking for alternatives to fit my artform best. I came up with the name “Zaeden”, it’s basically “Waeden”, which means out-of-the-box thinking and the alphabet ‘Z’ clubbed together.
You were one of the opening acts in Justin Bieber’s Purpose World Tour in Mumbai and have also shared the stage with DJ David Guetta in the past. How will you describe your journey so far?
I would say it’s been an incredible journey for me. I had the privilege of being recognised at a very young age. Like every artist, the journey has been filled with many ups and downs but I’m thankful for all the opportunities and experiences that have come my way. I’ve learnt so much from each and every show as an artist.
