Sahil Sharma better known by his stage name Zaeden took to Dj ing at the age of 14. Intrigued by the process of making and mixing music he started off with mixing tapes of his favourite dance music releases that he would give out to friends in school. The boy from Gurgaon made rapid progress in his career. From closing EDM icon David Guetta`s set in Mumbai to performing at the mecca of commercial electronic music Tomorrowland, Zaeden has seen the highs of a music career that few can only dream off. Always eager to break the rules, the DJ turned singer songwriter during the pandemic. His singles Tere Bina, Dooriyan and Kya Karoon? have been well received and that prompted him to drop his debut album Genesis 1:1 in 2021. The album had him collaborate with a range of artists Yashraj, Kunaal Vermaa, Hanita Bhambri, Nishu from Parekh and Singh, AAKASH, Somanshu and Polar. Always the one to use personal experinces as inspirations, Zaeden has touched upon multiple themes in the album.
He even debuted in the Punjabi industry with the original song Lagda Na that got the attention of superstar Yo Yo Honey Singh. He is also working on his Punabi EP.
