Varun Anand makes a coming-of-age statement with debut EP ‘Level Up’

Mumbai, 19^th January 2026: Multi-instrumentalist Varun Anand officially steps into the spotlight with the release of his debut EP, ‘Level Up’, a raw, heartfelt and unapologetically honest exploration of growing up in an age defined by speed, pressure and constant noise. Produced by Richard Andrew Dudley, the EP marks a defining moment for a young artist already carving out his own sonic identity.

‘Level Up’ is a bold, psychedelic coming-of-age project that captures the emotional turbulence of the teenage experience. Across four tracks, Varun navigates ambition, anxiety, peer pressure and self-belief, placing listeners right in the middle of a vibrant yet overwhelming world. The EP reflects the universal struggle of young minds trying to find purpose, direction and belonging, without filtering or softening the chaos that comes with it.

In ‘Level Up’, Varun joins forces with a lineup of young vocalists, Tarang Sreedhar, Riddhi Rao, Arushi Paul and Tanya Shanker, each adding a distinct voice and emotional layer to the project. Together, they create a soundscape that feels lived-in, urgent and deeply relatable.

Speaking about the project, Varun shares, “Music was, is, and will always be my first love. I’ve been passionate about it since I was 4 years old. Level Up is my honest attempt to step into the world of music and share my story”.
