The vibrant world of ‘India’s Got Talent’ Season 10 has seen a variety of talents this year. UNB, the rapper from Sikkim, among the fusion bands, dance troupes, and magicians, stands out a remarkable figure.
UNB Rapper, also known as Ugen Namgyal Bhutia, isn’t new to the world of music. He initiated his own record label, Kauso Records, in 2017, which today boasts a following of over 528,000 subscribers. Reflecting on this journey, he terms it as a thrilling rollercoaster. While the show has granted him a fresh exposure, UNB Rapper is eager to create more music.
His earlier stint with the MTV Hustle 2.0 gave him insights into the realm of hip-hop. Yet, ‘India’s Got Talent’ presents a different ball game altogether, attracting a diverse audience. One of UNB’s driving forces to participate in this show was to introduce the world of rap to millions of Indian households. Moreover, representing his community and the Northeast regions remained close to his heart. His viewpoint is simple, “Coming from Sikkim, this show offers an excellent platform to be recognized widely.”
The songs that UNB presents on stage, such as “Sahi Hai” and “Faschuka Hu,” carry a dual punch – they are entertaining and also convey a profound message. His recent track “Sahi Hai” even secured him a coveted Golden Buzzer from judge Kirron Kher. He aims to create music that resonates with all, mentioning, “I’m crafting songs that are relatable and engaging.”
Receiving accolades from industry bigwigs like Vicky Kaushal does come with its share of pressure, but UNB Rapper remains grounded. His mantra is to keep it real and straightforward. He acknowledges the evolving space that hip-hop enjoys in Indian mainstream media and is proud to be a part of this transformation.
As he rides high on the popularity from ‘India’s Got Talent’, UNB has grand plans ahead. International shows in countries like the U.K. and Australia are on the horizon. Additionally, he is gearing up for a few projects post the show and is keen on promoting budding talents from the Northeast through Kauso Records.
In the dazzling galaxy of ‘India’s Got Talent’, UNB is a star that promises to shine brighter, aiming to carve a niche for himself and Northeast rap in the vast world of music.
