Early life and career edit
Jain was born in Ludhiana. When he was 19 years old, his father died after having been in a coma for two years, and Jain began to write songs as a way to express his emotions, saying, "I try to tell stories through my music".[9][10] He started by uploading original work on his YouTube channel, the first song being "Meri Baaton Mein Tu", after which "Baarishein" followed. In an interview with Rolling Stone India, he said he gets inspiration from real life incidents and writes songs over a period of months.[11] He mainly cites Joji as his inspiration.[12]
In 2018, he released his first single "Baarishein". During the COVID-19 pandemic, he decided to pursue music as a full-time career.[1] He has also performed live shows across the country.[12][13]"Baarishein" became his first song to cross 100 and 200 million streams on Spotify. "Husn" became a smash hit and garnered more than 50 million streams on Spotify within the first month of its initial release[14] and proceeded to cross 300 million streams across all platforms in 3 months becoming his biggest commercial hit.
