Written by Tanisha Cardozo || Team Allycaral

The Indian Performing Right Society (IPRS) is set to play a defining role in shaping conversations around artistic excellence and creator empowerment at the 10th edition of the Serendipity Arts Festival 2025 in Goa. From December 15 to 20 at Azad Maidan, Panaji, the IPRS Stage will once again become a vibrant platform celebrating India’s musical diversity, evolving soundscape, and the creators who drive it.

The IPRS Stage offers a rare space where regional, folk, traditional, and emerging artists from across the country come together to connect with wider audiences beyond their local geographies. The platform not only celebrates performance but also reinforces the importance of access, recognition, and opportunity for music creators in an ever-changing industry.

The stage opened on December 15 with the Vayali Bamboo Band, whose handcrafted bamboo instruments and ecologically rooted soundscapes set the tone for a programme rooted in creativity and cultural consciousness. On December 17, audiences will witness Gulabi Vinyl, a collaboration between vocalist Vidhya Gopal and poet Alok Ranjan Srivastava, blending thumri, dadra, ghazal and classic Hindi melodies with contemporary expression. The musical journey continues on December 18 with Beintehaan: A Musical Harvest, curated by songwriter and filmmaker Mayur Puri, weaving together Kajri, dohas, Sufi kalaams, indie-folk sensibilities and original compositions.

On December 19, Shahbaaz Hussain Khan of the centuries-old Gwalior Gharana will lead Rooh-e-Qawwali, bringing the spiritual energy of Sufi devotion and collective expression to the stage. The showcase culminates on December 20 with Dashugs, a dynamic Ladakhi band whose powerful, community-driven sound reflects the emerging creative voices from the Himalayan region.

Sharing IPRS’ broader vision, CEO Rakesh Nigam highlighted that the IPRS Stage at Serendipity Arts Festival marks an important milestone in celebrating India’s creative spirit while building an inclusive music ecosystem. As IPRS deepens its engagement with the artistic community in Goa this December, the initiative underscores a future where creators are not only celebrated on stage but also empowered beyond it, ensuring that India’s cultural legacy continues to evolve with purpose and pride.

Teen Musician Shanaya Rebelo Drops Halloween-Themed Single ‘Zombies in the Street’


Inspiration can appear in the most unexpected moments — even while watching spooky videos on a quiet evening. For 15-year-old singer-songwriter Shanaya Rebelo, it sparked the creation of her latest pop-rock single, ‘Zombies in the Street’, a Halloween-themed track filled with fun, energy, and youthful creativity.

“I wanted to make something fun — a song that’s a little eerie but still energetic and light-hearted,” says Shanaya, who has previously released tracks with strong messages of hope and environmental awareness. The idea took shape during a casual jam session with her friends, who later became her bandmates. “It actually started on my birthday,” recalls the Class 10 student at The Phoenix homeschool in Panaji. “We were just jamming for fun, and the harmonies sounded so good that we decided to record it.”

The teen band, aged between 11 and 16, includes Alethea, Kristyn, and Mia on backing vocals, Zach on drums, and Tracii (from Sharada Mandir School) on bass — with Shanaya on lead vocals and guitar. The group rehearsed and recorded the track entirely live at Groovebox Studios, spending hours fine-tuning their sound. “It was a new experience for most of them, but they were amazing,” says Shanaya. “Working with friends made it even more special because everyone brought in their own ideas.”

Kristyn recalls, “At Shanaya’s birthday, she played us a few of her songs. We really liked ‘Zombies in the Street’, tried some harmonies, and it just clicked.” Zach adds, “The band was formed just for this song, and it was so much fun.”

The music video, filmed near Shanaya’s school, captures a playful Halloween atmosphere with friends acting as zombies. “My friends played the zombies, and we had one main character trying to escape them,” she explains. “It was a total group effort — from costumes to filming. Sumaiya and Jaherul handled the camera work brilliantly, and Mysticka did a great job editing it.”

“For me, the best part was singing together at the studio,” shares Mia, while Kristyn laughs, “Wearing that zombie mask during the shoot was the coolest thing!”

A singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, Shanaya Rebelo began her musical journey at age eight with ‘Merry Merry Christmas’ on All India Radio, Panaji. Since then, she has released several singles through Jazz Goa and Boskon Studios, including ‘Levitating Space’, ‘Save the Earth’, and ‘I Won’t Give Up’. Known for her mix of pop, funk, and jazz influences, Shanaya writes, composes, and produces her own music, preferring live recordings for their authentic sound.

Her latest release, ‘Zombies in the Street’, is now streaming on Spotify, Apple Music, Bloom Music, and other major platforms, with the official video premiering on her YouTube channel.

“Sharing my music with the world gives me the utmost happiness,” says Shanaya — a sentiment that perfectly sums up her creative spirit and the joy her music brings to those who listen.

Arijit Singh Becomes the Most Followed Artist on Spotify, Surpasses Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran


Written by Tanisha Cardozo

Mumbai | July 2025 – Arijit Singh, India’s most beloved voice of romance and heartbreak, has achieved a historic milestone: he is now the most followed artist on Spotify, with over 151 million followers globally. This puts him ahead of international powerhouses Taylor Swift (139.6M) and Ed Sheeran (121M).

The news, shared by global music tracking platforms Chartmasters and Volt.fm, highlights Arijit’s unshakable hold on music fans across the world. Despite having fewer monthly listeners than some of his international peers, his follower count signals deeper fan loyalty and enduring popularity.

Arijit’s journey began humbly in 2005 on the reality show Fame Gurukul, but he rose to fame with the unforgettable 2013 hit “Tum Hi Ho” from the film Aashiqui 2. Since then, his emotionally rich vocals have given life to some of India’s most iconic love songs.

From “Channa Mereya” to “Kesariya”, his songs consistently top Indian streaming charts. His ability to channel complex emotions through melody has earned him a devoted global fanbase.

Arijit’s fan appeal is no longer limited to India or the diaspora. His upcoming live concert at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London is a sign of his growing international stature. He is among the few Indian artists to perform at such a prestigious venue, placing him firmly in the league of global superstars.

Spotify distinguishes between monthly listeners (a snapshot of current popularity) and followers (a reflection of long-term support). Arijit’s top ranking in followers shows that fans are committed to following his musical journey over time—not just enjoying the latest hit.

Arijit Singh’s rise is not just a personal triumph—it represents the growing influence of Indian music on the global stage. As non-English artists find more space in global playlists, Arijit’s success proves that emotion and melody transcend language.

With this milestone, Arijit Singh is not just a Bollywood icon—he’s a global voice of emotion, and his journey is far from over.
