Varun Sheel grew up in a musically rich household, influenced by both Western and Bollywood music. His father, a classical Hindustani vocalist, began teaching Varun the basics of raags, tune maintenance, and breathing techniques at a young age. Varun’s musical journey took off when he received his first guitar as a child and started learning from YouTube, studying virtuosos like Paul Gilbert and Buckethead.

In high school, Varun formed his first band, "Beyond Boundaries," and later, in college, another band, "Solara." They released multiple EPs and played local shows, with Varun in a variety of roles such as lead vocalist, songwriter and lead guitarist. While pursuing a degree in Neuroscience, Varun blended his contemporary style of songwriting with his eastern influences.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, he deepened his craft by integrating Hindustani raags and Bollywood visuals with Western music theory, creating melodies that evoke specific moods and tell specific stories. After years of honing his craft, Varun is now ready to share his latest work, promising to transport listeners with his evocative melodies and storytelling.
