Sahil Sharma, popularly known as Zaeden, has built a name for himself in a very shot span of time. Hailing from Gurgaon, Zaeden is a 21-year-old DJ and music producer who rose to fame with his cover of Coldplay’s Magic and Maroon 5’s Animals and later signed a deal with the Dutch independent label Spinnin’ Records, which houses artists like Martin Garrix, Tiesto, Hardwell, R3hab, and Afrojack. He is also one of the the youngest persons to speak at TEDX early in August. We chat with Zaeden about his musical favourites:

Five songs in the soundtrack of your life: Deadmau5’s Strobe With You by Illenium Calvin Harris’s My Way Gallant’s Weight in Gold Avicii’s Trouble
A song that you love to listen to when you’re: Happy and upbeat: Avicii’s The Nights Really low: Music by Sam Smith. Working out: Adrenaline by Zedd and Grey.
Music that you used to love as a kid or a teenager that you’re now embarrassed by: I used to be a trance music addict back in the day, but when I look back, I’m not embarrassed by it.
