Today, NEXA Music from Maruti Suzuki India is launching the first song on its platform. The song is titled ‘This Heart of Mine’ and is the latest composition from NEXA’s Music department, which is set to fascinate music enthusiasts, across India. This number is sung by popular singer Nikhil D’Souza and is weaved around love and a young boy’s struggle to keep the love of his life happy. This unique platform is willing to harness India’s potential to create original music on an international level.
Back in January 2019, Maruti Suzuki India had created this platform for music lovers across different genres to produce new music. This unique initiative was originally taken up by NEXA and is specially curated to provide aspiring Indian musicians with a platform to compose their own lyrics. NEXA Music had also invited young musicians from across the country to participate, as later on they would be mentored by the famous music composer and global music icon AR Rahman, along with Clinton Cerejo.
The singer, Nikhil D’souza, is a guitarist, a composer and a songwriter, who is well-known for his eclectic acoustic guitar-based pop. The most unique feature of Nikhil and his songs are the strong emphasis on touching lyrics, melodic vocals and soft music, backed up by an unconventional guitar. The live artist has performed at many programmes in India and abroad.
