NATIONAL, 7th July 2026: Havells India is set to take its cultural initiative, Havells mYOUsic, to Dumka, Jharkhand, marking the platform’s first chapter in the state. Scheduled for 12th July 2026 at the Convention Centre, Dumka, the auditions will provide aspiring singers, lyricists, composers, music producers, rappers and singer-songwriters with an opportunity to showcase their original work, receive guidance from industry professionals and become part of a growing independent music community.
Following successful editions in Delhi and Indore, Havells mYOUsic has received over 2,200 registrations, with 700+ artistes auditioning on ground across the two cities, alongside strong participation through online submissions. The platform has attracted artistes from across the country, reflecting the growing need for initiatives that combine talent discovery with mentorship and industry exposure.
With Dumka, Havells mYOUsic continues its journey into regions where exceptional talent often remains unseen. Jharkhand has a rich musical tradition and a vibrant community of emerging artistes, and this chapter aims to create meaningful opportunities for local musicians to connect with the industry and showcase their originality on a national platform.
At the heart of the initiative is Havells India‘s commitment to empowering grassroot artistes by creating meaningful opportunities through mentorship, industry access, and a platform that helps them grow, collaborate, and build sustainable careers in music.
Unlike conventional talent competitions, Havells mYOUsic is designed to be an artiste-first experience. Participants receive constructive feedback from experienced professionals, interact directly with mentors and gain practical insights into songwriting, music production, live performance and the realities of building a career in today’s music industry.
Previous editions featured an accomplished lineup of mentors and industry leaders including Sandesh Shandilya, Osho Jain, Tarsame Mittal, Rohith Sobti, Laksh Maheshwari, Geet Sagar, Jatin Bisht, Amit Sharma, Siddharth Pandit, Vasav Vashisht, Moon, Uzma A. Khan, Rumpa Banerjee, and Dr. Vishal Chaturvedi, who shared their knowledge and interacted closely with participating artistes. The platform has also featured performances by artists including YUGM, Osho Jain, Laksh Maheshwari, Harshad Golesar, Duhita Golesar, The Shloka, and Buland Himalay, making each edition a celebration of India’s independent music ecosystem.
Selected artistes from the auditions will move into a structured artist bootcamp later this year, where they will collaborate with mentors to create original music and audio-visual content while receiving support across production, branding and distribution. The initiative is designed to support artistes beyond the audition stage and help them take the next step in their creative journey.
Mukesh Kumar Jain, Vice President, Havells India, said: “Havells has always been a brand that celebrates the spirit of India, empowering progress in homes, businesses, and communities. With Havells mYOUsic, we are extending this philosophy into the cultural fabric of the nation. There is immense talent in the country which only needs the right platform to discover, curate, release their original work and gain exposure, fandom and monetization. Every city adds a new chapter to this movement, and we are delighted to bring Havells mYOUsic to Jharkhand for the first time. We look forward to discovering the incredible talent and unique musical voices that the region has to offer.”
Vinit Karnik, Managing Director, Entertainment, Sports, Partnership and Content at WPP Media said: “The response to Havells mYOUsic over the last two editions has shown us that talented artistes are everywhere, they just need the right platform to be seen and heard. Taking the movement to Dumka is an important step in reaching communities that haven’t always had access to opportunities like this. We hope this platform encourages more artistes to step forward and share their original work.”
Rohith Sobti, Curator and Co-Founder of The Shakti Collective, said: “The most exciting part of this journey has been discovering incredible talent in places where people aren’t usually looking. Every city has surprised us, and we’re sure Jharkhand will too. There are musicians here with original stories, unique sounds and immense potential. If Havells mYOUsic can become the platform that gives even a few of them the confidence and opportunity to take that next step, we’ve done something meaningful.”
For decades, Havells has empowered people by energising homes, businesses and communities. Through Havells mYOUsic, the brand is extending that philosophy into the cultural space by supporting India’s next generation of independent musicians.
As the movement continues to travel across the country, Havells mYOUsic is building a platform where emerging artistes can be discovered, mentored and connected with opportunities that help them grow.
“Havells mYOUsic began with a simple belief that talent should never be limited by a lack of opportunity. With every new city, that belief reaches more artistes and strengthens India’s independent music community.”
