“Bas Apna Kaam Kar.” Keep working, keep creating, and let the work speak for itself. This simple philosophy reflects the journey of Gaurav Aery, a singer, artist and filmmaker from Uttarakhand who has been steadily building his presence in India’s independent music and entertainment landscape. Rather than chasing trends, Aery believes in staying focused on the work, creating music, directing stories and providing a platform for artists across different genres. Over the years, this approach has translated into an extensive body of work, with more than 90 music videos directed and over 150 original songs released through his music label, Mixtrend Music, featuring various artists and spanning multiple genres. From Uttarakhand to a Pan-India Audience Coming from Uttarakhand, Gaurav Aery has taken his creative journey beyond the regional music space. His work is increasingly reaching audiences across India, with his music and visual productions finding listeners and viewers in both smaller cities and major metropolitan centres. His filmmaking and music careers have developed alongside each other, allowing him to approach songs not only from the perspective of a singer and music creator but also as a visual storyteller. K-7: 7 Songs, 7 Moods, 7 Feelings Aery’s latest musical project, “K-7,” is built around a simple but distinctive concept: 7 Songs, 7 Moods, 7 Feelings The seven-track album explores different emotions and musical shades, with each song designed to carry its own identity and atmosphere. Instead of presenting the album as a collection of songs with a single sound, K-7 attempts to take listeners through different emotional experiences. The album is being released progressively, giving each track an opportunity to connect with listeners on its own while gradually revealing the larger K-7 journey. “Kuch Dino Se – Ever Since Yours”: A Hindi-Garhwali Blend The K-7 journey began with “Kuch Dino Se – Ever Since Yours,” a Hindi-Garhwali mix that introduced audiences to the musical direction of the album. The song received appreciation not only in Uttarakhand but also among listeners in metropolitan cities such as Mumbai and Delhi. The response demonstrated the potential of blending regional musical identity with contemporary sounds to create music that can travel beyond geographical boundaries. For Aery, the song also represented an important connection between his Uttarakhand roots and his ambition to reach a wider Indian audience. “Kya Kare – Midnight Love”: Finding a Connect with Gen Z The second release from K-7, “Kya Kare – Midnight Love,” takes the album into a different emotional space. With its contemporary romantic mood and modern musical approach, the track is increasingly finding a connect with Gen Z listeners, particularly those drawn to late-night, intimate and relationship-oriented music. The contrast between the first two releases reflects the core philosophy behind K-7 — different songs, different moods and different feelings, while remaining part of one larger musical journey. More Than Music Gaurav Aery’s journey is not limited to performing or releasing songs. As a filmmaker, he has directed 90+ music videos, giving him experience in translating musical ideas into visual narratives. Through Mixtrend Music, he has also created a growing catalogue of original music involving artists from different backgrounds and genres. The label represents his larger vision of creating and promoting independent music while giving diverse sounds and artists a platform to reach audiences. From Uttarakhand to Mumbai, Delhi and audiences across India, Aery’s journey reflects the possibilities available to independent creators who remain consistent with their craft. His philosophy remains straightforward: “Bas Apna Kaam Kar.” Keep creating. Keep moving forward. Let the audience decide. With K-7 still unfolding and several more projects in the pipeline, Gaurav Aery’s story is far from finished — there is much more to come.
