Shayan Italia, better known by his stage name SHAYAN, is an Indian born up-and-coming International multi-award winning singer/songwriter. Born and brought up in Secunderabad city, India, SHAYAN came to London after tragically losing both his parents at a young age. He did his schooling at The Doon School, Dehradun. Shayan who made his Debut with Hinglish single Sha La La, backed by Hungama featuring 65 legendary musicians and 21 visual artists coming together to ignite India with a deeply pertinent message: Love. Without Boundaries released one more song on the lines of Covid called WARRIORS. 

Congratulations on the song Warriors as it has crossed 8m please if you can let us know about making of the song.

Thank you so much, it’s a busy time! Warriors was created quite instinctively and within 3 weeks put out. The song has started to gain traction on Spotify and that’s a good thing as that’s a purely organic way of people discovering a new song. The entire recording was done remotely because, currently where I am, due to the lockdown, I don’t have the facilities of walking into a large studio and working with a large orchestra or choir, at least not for now. So I’m making do with the tools I have! And it’s a good lesson also to show what you can do with a decent idea, a decent set of skills, a microphone, a piano and a computer. I also have recorded this song in 3D audio which shines through on devices that support Spatial Audio like the Apple AirPods Max headphones and AirPods Pro earphones.

What thoughts were you going through when you wrote down the lyrics of the song?

Warriors is one of those inspirational songs 2021 that connects with people instantly through its uplifting lyrics. I guess everyone can relate to it with what we all have gone through in the last year, with all our lives changing dramatically. I also wrote 3 versions of Warriors but went with the commercial release as it felt the most authentic.

“We stand, we rise, we fight, we fall, we get back up as if nothing happened at all” – there is wisdom in these words, traits that also define a true Warrior. #WeAreWarriors

What's your take on the remix culture in Bollywood?

I don’t know much about Bollywood music and it’s not the stuff I typically listen to. Having said that I know the industry is dynamically changing, evolving, adapting and music is finding its way. It’s also nice to see a lot of the musicians gaining popularity and some even more than Bollywood Stars themselves. A lot of new independent music is emerging across India through both the record labels as well as solo artists launching themselves. Music is the universal language of love, and any creativity in these dire times that sparks hope, even a smile, is commendable and respectable.

With whom would you like to work with in the Bollywood Music industry or would you be restricted to English songs only?

At present I have no plans to be part of the Bollywood Music Industry. Having said that, if someone wishes to reach out and work with me, I’m more than happy to consider any opportunity to help me grow as a musician and songwriter.  But I feel this industry has enough of a pool of talent to currently work with.

What are your upcoming projects?

In terms of upcoming projects: I launch a flagship wellness app called START later officially this year but the beta version of the app has hit the Apple App and Google Play stores. START is 2021’s best intermittent fasting, weight loss and wellness app that greatly increases energy, focus, immunity and propels weight loss in just 7 days with no change to diet or exercise. The app is completely free for the first 7 days (no upfront credit card charges). For people stuck in lockdown, this is the app for you to be in the best of health regardless of your health circumstances. Our beta testing results of the proprietary START Intermittent Fasting program has been incredible with people losing up to 30kgs of weight, reversing Type 2 diabetes, and also reversing severe heart conditions to complete normality.
