For multi-instrumentalist, composer, producer and singer Papon (Angaraag Mahanta), music has always been in his blood. Papon’s songs, while rooted in folk, bears influences from genres as diverse as traditional folk songs of Eastern India, ghazals, even new-age electronica.

Blessed with a voice both smooth and soulful, Papon has managed to carve a niche for himself as a versatile singer and composer —he can easily switch from one genre to another. Considered to be one of the most recognisable and sought-after artists in India, it’s no surprise that he’s a force to be reckoned with in India. Papon has worked on all editions Coke Studio India, produced an MTV Unplugged episode last year and is a playback singer for many Bollywood films. He also performs in Europe and US.
