Being invited to New York was big deal for someone like me who comes from Ludhiana: Anuv Jain

In a bid to ensure awareness around environmen­tal conservati­on, singersong­writer Anuv Jain has joined hands with the United Nations. As part of the initiative, Jain has reimagined his track Baarishein , as Baarishein Feat. Nature, where the sound of rainfall, is an added layer. “Nature has been a huge source of inspiratio­n for me while creating music. A lot of my music is inspired by what’s around me — the sky, the rain, the trees. I’m so excited to be a part of the Sounds Right initiative,” he tells us. With the original version having amassed over half a billion global streams, Jain hopes this recreated rendition will also captivate audiences with its immersive soundscape. “As artistes and as human beings, it is important to give back [to the society], and to give back more than what you take. With this initiative, I hope to make a positive impact,” he adds.

The collaborat­ion also saw the 29-year-old paying a visit to the UN headquarte­rs in New York, USA. Jain expresses gratitude for the opportunit­y: “Collaborat­ing with the UN and being invited to their headquarte­rs is a very big deal for me, especially for someone who hails from Ludhiana, (Punjab).”

Jain’s family and team are equally excited for this milestone, recognisin­g the significan­ce of this collaborat­ion in aligning with his long-standing aspiration­s. “We all have been looking forward to it. Working with the United Nations has always been on my to-do list, and I’m extremely grateful for this opportunit­y to contribute to building a more positive world,” he concludes.
