DOT aka Aditi Saigal

I had to start with my favourite from the list. 21 year old singer and songwriter, Aditi Saigal started her journey at a very young age. Daughter of the late Amit Saigal, rock musician and founder of India’s first rock magazine ‘Rock Street Journal’, she has become a niche sensation for Indians looking to expand their musical taste buds.

Her songs are soulful and will make you fall in love from the first melody itself. After Netflix featured her song ‘Everybody dances to techno’ in one of their video, she has gained even more traction and appreciation from people of all age groups.
