Pop goes India

Two decades, hundreds of chart-toppers, and a truckload of Grammys later, American hitmaker Savan Kotecha is hitting rewind—and heading back to his roots. He's written for Ariana Grande, The Weeknd, One Direction—and now, he's coming home to make pop dreams come true in India. The songwriter and record producer is setting his sights on something he's never done before: launching India's first global boy band. Kotecha is looking to inspire a whole new generation of Indian youth—by giving them the tools, stage, and spotlight to become international pop stars. Born to Gujarati parents from Uganda and raised in the US, Kotecha has always carried a piece of India with him. Now, he's channelling that love through his company, Outwrite, co-founded with Aayushman Sinha (the force behind Indian talent firm Represent) and seasoned Artists and Repertoire executive Murtuza Gadiwala. Their goal? To build a 'global hub' for songwriters, producers, musicians, and engineers right here in India. Think: a support system for India's creative minds to thrive on a global stage. Kotecha says the idea stemmed from noticing a visible gap in the Indian music industry where many stakeholders aren't aware of their rights and how music publishing works. 'There's a lot of talent in India. I want to encourage young people to get into music and to see themselves as new pop artistes that represent India rather than having to look outside the country for those people,' he says. This becomes an important move at a time when stolen songs, credits has been a pressing issue for the industry for many decades now.

‘I Shouldn't Have Gone': Jagmeet Singh Apologises To Drake After Kendrick Concert

Last Updated: Jagmeet Singh publicly apologised to Drake for attending a Kendrick Lamar show in Toronto after Drake called him a 'goof.' The most intense dispute in modern rap history has erupted in recent years, leading to several legal lawsuits and a stunning uprising against their mutual record label. Drake is most likely not feeling too good after Kendrick Lamar received a lot of love from his hometown of Toronto during the Compton rapper's co-headlining performances there last week alongside SZA. He is, thus, venting his frustration on the New Democratic Party's former federal leader, Jagmeet Singh, who was spotted at one of Lamar's performances. The former federal NDP leader apologised late Sunday night only hours after Drake shared a screenshot of a private Instagram message to Singh in which the rapper labelled the politician a 'goof." Drake merely wrote, 'You're a goof," to the politician in his most recent message. Previous messages included a thank-you note for Drake's follow in 2019 and since-deleted stories Singh had previously posted about Drake. Images of Singh during the performance began to circulate online by Sunday night. Singh quickly apologised for the comments and explained on social media. Writing on his personal Instagram story, he said: 'I went for SZA, not Kendrick, I was born in this city, I love this city. But real talk, I get it. I shouldn't have gone at all. For me, it'll always be Drake over Kendrick." canadian politics are not real why are drake and jagmeet singh fighting — Liz ✿ | lime skittle (@ElizabethRenzie) June 16, 2025 Lamar led a show in Toronto last week alongside SZA, his first in Drake's city since their high-profile dispute began. These were the only Toronto shows in their Grand National Tour. It is not known which night Singh attended Lamar's show. The audience appeared to be quite receptive, pleading for Lamar to perform an encore of his popular diss song 'Not Like Us' as well as giving it a two-minute ovation. Drake singled out Singh and said nothing else about the performances or Toronto's affection for Lamar. The former coworkers-turned-foes have been embroiled in a highly visible conflict for more than ten years, beginning with Lamar's public taunts of Drake in 2013. The altercation became far more intense last year when both released diss tracks, including Lamar's Grammy-winning song 'Not Like Us.' Drake and fellow Toronto rapper Smiley released a new song on Friday while Lamar performed for the Toronto audiences. He notably maintains his moniker as 'the 6ix God," a reference to Toronto residents referring to the city as 'the 6ix" in the new song.
