SMG

Weaving global melodies with contemporary electronic music, Smg is an experimental project of Mumbai-based Indie artist Shantanu Gursal. Smg’s ability to seamlessly combine emotive songwriting with electro-inspired production has seen him take the terrains of Electro-pop and more. He began his project in 2017 as a DJ when he packed his DJ sets with a wide array of genres ranging from House to Drum & Bass; and naturally, his penchant for explorations drew him into productions where he started experimenting with distinct styles before making Electro-pop his standout genre. Soon after consolidating his sound, he released "Walk" and "One Dance” which grossed over 150k global streams which turned out to be a watershed moment in Smg’s journey as a debut artist. As a DJ, Smg likes to pack a punch in his sets where he plays anything and everything from House to Drum & Bass to Downtempo. He started his time as a DJ through DJ Wars, College gigs and through these performances, he developed a liking for exploring different genres which he translates flawlessly through his sets. His ultimate dream is to take his music and perform at the Mahalaxmi Racecourse, a place that kickstarted a 6-year spree of shows as a kid where he stepped into an abyss of musical voyages. He graciously describes this vision of his in two syllables as ‘One Dream’. Determined to accomplish his dream, it’s safe to say that he is only getting started.
