Raftaar
A few days before Dilin Nair was born, his parents left for their hometown of Thiruvananthapuram. They wanted for him the identity of a Kerala-born Malayali, even if the national capital was to be their home. A few years down the line, Delhi has bested Kerala as dominant cultural influence, transforming Dilin Nair into Raftaar, a behemoth on the rap scene in the South Asian film and music industry. At a time when the hip hop industry in India was still in its’ nascent stage and many talented artists were struggling to make a mark in the music fraternity, Raftaar has brilliantly managed to carve his own brand of desi hip-hop catering to the urban millennials. He has been creating waves in Indian music circles since 2013. They say that 'dreams don't work until you do', and some of the most successful people in the world will endorse this. Raftaar is one such exemplary example of how success is built with one's own determination and hard work. A lyricist, composer, rapper and dancer, Raftaar is a multi-faceted global entertainer who has garnered a loyal following in a short span of time and is considered as youth icon for the millennial generation. The endowed songwriter is bestowed with the ability to rap in Hindi, Punjabi, Haryanvi and Malayalam. With embracing the charts with hits like Dhakkad, Zinda Hai, Pagglait, Swag Mera Desi, Baby Marwake Manegi he feels he's just begun his journey in music and has much to offer to his fans and the world.
