MUMBAI: ‘The Stage’ Season One winner Yatharth is all set to release a debut single under the record label Universal Music India. After taking away the crown of India’s favourite and first of its kind English music singing reality show featured on Colors Infinity, the 20-year-old singer releases his first single titled ‘Continents’.

Written by Yatharth himself, the song describes the vulnerability of being an artist and the unpredictability of life. Furthermore, the track is a way of Yatharth expressing his deep feelings for someone close to his heart and sharing his support if things were to go downhill. ‘Continents’ is a simplistic expression of love displayed through sonic experiences.

Sharing his excitement on the release of the new song, Yatharth shares, “All that I’ve learnt from the judges and my experience on ‘The Stage’ is very precious to me. It feels incredible to have seen this song travel from my bedroom - to the studio and now out in the world for everyone to hear. I’ve always loved writing songs in English and the fact that this land has given me the opportunity to share my music globally is truly heart-warming. I can’t be more thankful to everyone who helped in making this a possibility for the first time in this country. I’m honoured and proud to present ‘Continents’.”

At a young age, Yatharth Ratnum moved to Los Angeles where he was rewarded as the ‘Outstanding International Vocalist’ at the ‘International Young Artists Awards’. Being exposed to different genres of music and culture abroad, Yatharth was mentored by some of the most renowned Grammy Award winning names in the music fraternity for three years.

Later on, he was also cast in a movie alongside Gracy Singh and Rajpal Yadav called the ‘Blue Mountain’.

Speaking of the single, Universal Music Group South Asia and India MD and CEO Devraj Sanyal says, “Being a Jury member on The Stage from the beginning I've seen Yatharth from really close and been always impressed by how he's developed through the show.
