Tejas - Topic

Tejas is India’s intrepid indie voice who tells stories about himself and everything he sees around him with depth and euphoria alike. Raised in Dubai, Tejas soon found himself in Mumbai working in copywriting while also making his mark as a singer-songwriter influenced by the likes of KT Tunstall, Sting, Justin Timberlake, Michael Jackson, The Beatles and more. It led to his debut EP Small Victories in 2014, followed by the wide-ranging 2017 debut album Make It Happen. Within India, Tejas has supported fellow singer-songwriters like Lucy Rose in 2016, Damien Rice in 2019, and Westlife in 2023, in addition to performing at mainstay music festivals like Bacardi NH7 Weekender, Kala Ghoda Arts Festival, and Lollapalooza India.

More sonic aesthetics began swirling with the release of his second album Outlast in 2021 with vibrant songs like “The Bombay Doors” and, more recently, his EP Museum in 2024 that brought in Indian classical instrumentation. Along the way, Tejas got to make his foray into film music after years of voiceover work, becoming the singing voice of beloved comic book character Archie Andrews for the Netflix movie The Archies in 2023.
