Imagine recording a simple guitar melody in your Athens bedroom, uploading it to your YouTube channel, and waking up to a message from Badshah-one of India’s biggest music stars, with 19 million monthly Spotify listeners.

Impressed, Badshah reached out via Instagram, and before long, Grivellas’s melody was the backbone of a new track that quickly racked up 15 million YouTube streams and glowing comments from fans across the globe.
