Manyu B, the creative force behind HAMESHA, has a story of passion and perseverance.
Manyu B’s journey to releasing HAMESHA is a story of resilience, passion, and unwavering belief in one’s dreams. Born and raised in New Delhi, Manyu B discovered his love for music at a young age, influenced by the melodies of his childhood, from singing with his mother to absorbing the diverse musical styles of his friends, teachers, and mentors across India and the Philippines. His talent shone through in his college years, where he led his band successfully at various prestigious festivals, including a remarkable performance at the All India annual festival at BITS Pilani. Despite his early accomplishments, Manyu B put his musical ambitions on hold to pursue higher studies.
After completing professional education from Symbiosis Pune and IIM Calcutta, Manyu B embarked on a successful career in IT-enabled services, traveling the world and climbing the corporate ladder. Yet, his love for music never faded. Music remained his quiet companion as he continued to perform at community events & private jam sessions, compose songs, always keeping his passion alive, even while balancing the demands of a high-pressure career.
It wasn’t until a life-changing conversation with close friends that Manyu B made the bold decision to return to music—this time, with more determination than ever before. He reignited the dreams he had left behind and began finishing his songs & performing once again. HAMESHA, a song written during his college days, symbolizes his triumphant return to the music industry. It is not just a romantic song but a testament to the power of persistence, reminding us that dreams, no matter how long deferred, can always be realized. Manyu B’s story is an inspiring example of how passion, once rediscovered, can lead to a new chapter filled with purpose and fulfillment.
