Shaan Singh debuted at Sunburn Goa 2010; became the youngest DJ to perform at an International Electronic Dance Festival
15 year old Shaan Singh played the afternoon slot, from 1.30-3pm, at the Butterfly Stage on the last day of the Sunburn Goa 2010, in a debut that mesmerized the entire Sunburn Audience.
He’s only been DJing for a year, and Shaan Singh has already become the youngest DJ to play at an international electronic music festival. "It was Sunburn last year that inspired me to become a DJ. I started last year and practised on my own for a while, and then I figured out that I should practise with someone bigger, so I asked DJs Vishal Shetty and Hiren, and they helped me a lot," said Shaan.
Continued Shaan, “I told my Dad that it was my dream to play at Sunburn, and he told me that at the end of the year, we'll see how good you are. So I trained and trained and showed him how good I was, and thankfully, he gave me this opportunity. If I hadn't been good enough, he'd have made me practise more, maybe play at some smaller gigs, but I worked my heart out and I showed him, and so he let me play."
Shaan recollects, “I was a bit nervous at the beginning, but when I played a few tracks and saw the crowd picking up, I really got into it, and stopped thinking about anything except the music I was playing.”
The Sunburn festival, ranked the most popular in Asia and seventh in the world was streamed live in 80 countries and got half a million hits, besides attracting people from all over the world, and even Bollywood stars like Priyanka Chopra.
