Indian independent music continues to evolve, and one of the names gaining strong momentum in this space is Aakriti Mannat. With her latest single “Jawani,” the Delhi-born singer, lyricist, and composer delivers a confident, contemporary sound that reflects both creative maturity and global ambition. Currently based in Abu Dhabi, Aakriti is positioning herself as an artist who moves seamlessly between cultures, genres, and audiences.
“Jawani”: A Song Written, Composed, and Sung With Intent
“Jawani” stands out as a fully self-driven project. Written, composed, and sung by Aakriti Mannat herself, the track captures youthful intensity, emotional freedom, and modern energy. The song features Jagtinder Singh Sidhu and is produced by Adom, whose production complements Aakriti’s expressive vocals with a polished yet vibrant sound.
Rather than relying on trends alone, “Jawani” feels personal and purposeful—an expression of confidence that aligns with the current global pop sensibility while retaining a distinctly Indian emotional core.
From Academic Roots to 1,000+ Live Performances
Aakriti’s journey is built on both discipline and experience. She holds a BA (Honours) in Music from Miranda House, University of Delhi, and has been performing professionally since 2016. Her early exposure to live stages began as far back as fifth grade, shaping a performer who is as comfortable with large audiences as she is with studio work.
Over the years, she has delivered more than 1,000 live performances across India and internationally. She has shared stages with respected artists such as Anup Jalota, Ashok Mastie, and Shankar Sahney, earning recognition for her strong stage presence and vocal versatility.
A Global Shift: UAE Performances and International Reach
By early 2026, Aakriti expanded her footprint beyond India, becoming a regular performer at major events in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. This global exposure has not only widened her audience but also influenced her musical approach—reflected clearly in “Jawani,” which feels international in sound without losing authenticity.
Her ability to balance Bollywood sensibilities, pop appeal, classic rock influences, and devotional depth makes her a rare crossover artist in today’s music landscape.
A Consistent Discography Backed by Creative Control
While “Jawani” marks her latest release, Aakriti’s discography shows steady growth and experimentation. Recent works include “DIL NU” (2025), “Manzil” (2025) from the album Blood Sweat & Tears, and “Kalai” (2025) featuring Harris.K Singh and Sshiv. Her devotional releases in 2024 also received strong appreciation, highlighting her range as an artist.
Notably, Aakriti maintains a hands-on role in her music, often leading the creative direction rather than just performing.
What Lies Ahead
With multiple upcoming projects already in motion—many in collaboration with producer Adom—Aakriti Mannat shows no signs of slowing down. “Jawani” is more than just a single; it signals an artist stepping confidently into a global space, ready to be heard beyond borders.
The Bigger Picture
In an era where originality and identity matter more than ever, Aakriti Mannat represents a new generation of Indian artists—technically trained, globally active, and creatively independent. With “Jawani,” she doesn’t just release a song; she announces her arrival on a much larger stage.
