Mumbai-born, 19-year-old psychedelic trap artist vinayvvs stands as an anomaly in Indian Hip Hop. Aged 5, he moved to Poland with his parents due to financial difficulties. At 14, he discovered hip-hop and found inspiration in Travis Scott and Kanye West, motivating him to start producing. After discovering Hindi rap through DIVINE, vinayvvs picked up the mic at 15. He returned to Mumbai aged 15 and began recording music while in high school. In 2022, aged 17, vinayvvs moved to London through a scholarship to pursue a degree in business and geography, which he'll complete in 2025 and return to Mumbai. vinayvvs is a graduate from the Travis Scott and Kanye West school of maximalist soundscapes where songs feel gigantic, lush and cinematic. He combines this eclectic sonic landscape with psychedelic production, introspective lyricism and ambient, heavily-layered vocals drenched in creative effects. His innovative song structures, along with countless cadences and flows that he switches effortlessly, creates filmic listening experiences. Listening to a vinayvvs song is akin to watching an IMAX movie, allowing listeners to mentally enter different realms. Despite carving his own niche, vinayvvs’ tracks have struck a chord in mainstream audiences. The 19-year-old is knocking on the door to success, but instead of waiting for an answer, he’s ready to “kick that shit down and be the next SRK if he was a musician”.
