Lakshya Bhatnagar SINGER / MUSICIAN | PUNE

From as far back as he can remember, Lakshya knew that he was destined to be a musician; even if it meant taking the slightly longer route of engineering school and IT offices to get there. The Bangalore-born singer and songwriter is a popular voice in the indie landscape, particularly known for his innovative blend of contemporary and vintage sounds—something he likes to call Retro Repair. A combination of current and classic favourites across genres and languages, Lakshya’s performances are both familiar and inventive – a groovy mix of excitement and nostalgia, ensuring much foot-tapping and singing-along among his audience.

Lakshya’s layered singing and clever improvisations have seen him play lead vocals in bands such as TMKC and Mannfarid, in a variety of live gigs over the years. Apart from being a solo acoustic performer, the talented songwriter has also composed original music for several short films, promotions, jingles and events. Inspired by alternative rock and contemporary and retro Bollywood sounds, Lakshya’s talent lies in understanding his audiences’ musical tastes and improvising his tunes to the vibes of his performance space.
