MUMBAI: Indian pop up duo Parekh and Singh aka Jivraj Singh and Nischay Parekh’s song, Summer Skin is one of the songs, nominated for Vh1 Summer anthem.
“Vh1 has always been the one to support us. We have so much going on that we often lose track of all the opportunities around us. We work on our videos and put a lot into it, hence this Vh1 opportunity is a good bonus for us,” said Jivraj Singh.
The duo will be dropping their new album Science City, during their Mumbai performance 25 May. Jivraj informs, “Science City is a place in Kolkata, a ‘science center’ that everyone visits when in junior school. We have visited a science city during our school time and it has been an important memory for us since childhood. Hence, we have 11 songs in the album on this.”

Parekh and Singh’s songs have been inspired by things they believe in. “These songs have been based on basic themes, which culminate our imagination, relationships, family, childhood, science, and essentials in life,” explains Jivraj.
He further reveals their key focus, “Attention to detail is what we count upon and do not compromise on anything. We also focus on having a good time and not stress about anything. On the other hand, we try to find a good balance and be creative.”
The duo started their journey with independent music. “Independent music is evolving and diversifying with technology. But the reality is also that it’s a hard field to be in, especially if you are trying to be an ‘artist’.”
He ends with a message, “We are grateful that people care about what we are doing. Hence, we don’t take our work for granted.”
