Druv Kent is an internationally recognized and chart-topping singer-songwriter originally from Kolkata, now based in Singapore, who left a banking career to follow his passion for music. He is the first Asia-based musician in two decades to have his music backed by the UK's BBC Radio. With his earthy, anthemic and lyrical songs, the financer-turned-musician seeks meaning in a shifting world with contemporary folk-pop sounds blended with the fuel of his Indian heritage.

After receiving much acclaim in the UK, Singapore, Australia and India with various singles and EPs, Druv recently released his new song Magaresa produced in Sweden.

He recently released his new single Magaresa (Runaway), the first off his new EP titled ‘Love in F#’ out in the next few weeks. The song is a mix of English and also Hindi.

Magaresa (Runaway) is a fun-filled, electro-fusion, pop track of a global scale, a collaboration of Druv Kent with legendary Swedish record producer Doug Carr (Ace of Base, The Corrs, Dr Alban). Enclose a confidential link to the unreleased song:

The Magaresa (Runaway) song has been like a force of nature. It took seed before Covid – but its completion was delayed until this terrible pandemic passed. Over the last two years the song evolved from a guitar riff on an early version simply called ‘Runaway’ to become this amazingly large global pop track with this new type of fusion sound, which required a number of iterations between legendary Swedish record producer Doug Carr in Sweden and me in Singapore, adding layers of bass, drums, Indian bansuri and tablas into the mix to get to its final form.

The Druv Kent band was fortunate to win the recent ‘Best Male Artist – Live’ award from IIMA. Druv has also composed a number of Hindi songs, some of these may show up in Netflix and Amazon Prime shows which are still in discussion. He is also putting the finishing bits together on some recently written somewhat poetic English songs and is off to the UK to record in June.
