Jasleen Royal: India’s Billie Eilish With a Soulful Twist - The quiet powerhouse redefining Indian pop music, one heartfelt song at a time

She doesnt need grand theatrics or elaborate visuals. No flashy gimmicks or overproduced sounds. Just a voice that feels like its been with you through every heartbreak, every long drive, every once-in-a-lifetime moment. Jasleen Royal, with her unmistakable tone and emotional depth, is often called Indias answer to Billie Eilish but her story, her sound, and her spirit are entirely her own.

Like Billie, Jasleen, the Indian composer and singer has carved out a lane rooted in raw honesty and quiet intensity. But her canvas is deeply Indian painted with acoustic strings, Punjabi folk undertones, and lyrics that tap straight into the heart. Whether its the soul-stirring Ranjha, the timeless Din Shagna Da, or the wistful Kho Gaye Hum Kahan, Jasleens songs arent just music, they're memories in motion.

And then came Heeriye. A love song thats as delicate as it is addictive, Heeriye blends modern romance with earthy longing. The song became an instant hit, further cementing her place as a modern voice of love and longing.

One of her most remarkable achievements? Becoming the first female music director in Filmfare history to win the Best Music Director award a landmark moment she earned for her work on Shershaah. That same film gave us Ranjha, a song so beloved that Sidharth Malhotra and Kiara Advani chose it for their wedding.Her influence on Indian weddings alone is unmatched. It all began when Anushka Sharma walked down the aisle to Jasleens version of Din Shagna Da. The moment went viral, and soon enough, Jasleen's voice became the soundtrack for bridal entries across the country.

But thats just one chapter in her journey. Jasleens independent hit Sahiba made global waves when it was featured on Times Square, a massive moment for Indian indie music. And if that wasnt impressive enough, shes also collaborated with Coldplay, becoming one of the few Indian artists to step into the global pop arena.

In a world of ever-evolving trends, Jasleen Royal remains timeless. She's not chasing virality. She's building a legacy one song, one story, one emotion at a time. She may remind us of Billie Eilish in her subtlety and spirit, but Jasleen Royal is writing her own rulebook. And in doing so, shes becoming the voice of a generation , with a guitar, and a heart full of poetry.
