My Compelling Story

Jashnn is a four-piece LIVE band based out of the capital city of India, New Delhi. The alternative/pop/rock/Sufi band takes inspiration from artists such as Lucky Ali, Atif Aslam, Mustafa Zahid, Jal the Band, and few others. Their motivation comes from their audiences, whose hunger for music is never-ending. Mannoj is the founder of the band. Initially, he used to write poetry under the heading called ‘Life’ for local newspapers and magazines. One day, he had an idea to act on these lyrics. He contacted various bands, but no band came up or responded. Eventually, one of his close friends, Ankur Agarwal (band manager) advised Mannoj to start a band of his own and compose all his songs. This advice built the band's foundation. Earlier, Mannoj was the only singer in the group, but later, Atul Rana (lead guitarist) stepped in as well. The duo performed at lots of events under the name 'Jashnn – A Beat of Celebration'. The band came to life when Manish Rana (lead guitarist) and Monu Kumar (drummer/keyboards) joined the band. Jashnn released their signature song 'Mai Jee Raha Jashnn Mein' after their first song 'Hindustan Meri Jaan', a trademark of the band. The band's debut video track 'Main Zinda Hoon' was released in 2014 and was highly appreciated by two legendary singers, Lucky Ali and Tochi Raina. The band has played at more than three dozen shows including college events, non-profit events, and corporate shows.
