Standing up for Music

The voice behind the wildly popular songs Munna Rap and Raakh from Mirzapur, Anand Bhaskar is an Indian playback singer, music producer and composer who is well-known for his soulful music. After leaving behind a high-profile corporate job, Anand set out to pursue his dream in the music world. His debut as a playback singer in Bollywood with Get Ready to Fight Again from Tiger Shroff’s blockbuster Baaghi 2 was followed by a playback performance in the song ‘Shaabaashiyaan’ in Misson Mangal and composing songs for Mirzapur (seasons 01 and 02) which received widespread recognition. Since then, Anand has come a long way from forming a band, Anand Bhaskar Collective, known for their unique sound and loyal fanbase, to composing the score of Amazon mini TVs film Gray, web series Masoom on Hotstar and Dr. Arora on SonyLIV in addition to composing songs on Netflix’s Bombay Begums’ OST. From a brand new album in the works with ABC and scores and songs for new web series and films, Anand Bhaskar is on the brink of stardom and creating a wave in the Indian music industry.
