‘Dreams do come true, all that you need to do is – be consistent’ and Tanishq Singh aka Paradox justifies this statement pretty well. This 19-year-old rapper, lyricist, composer, and performer rose to fame after his grand entry into the much-loved reality show MTV Hustle 2.0. He created a buzz when Badshah hugged him right after his debut performance and praised him for his incredible rapping abilities. Through the riveting 10 weeks, the unassuming and understated rapper steadily won millions of hearts with his stellar artistry, taking the nation by storm and becoming the first runner-up of MTV HUSTLE 2.0.
Since the beginning of time, Paradox was inclined towards music. As a child, he would listen to songs and add his own rhymes to the tunes of the songs. Initially, he learned to play guitar and started focusing on instrumental songs at the age of 12. By the age of 14, he started developing a taste in rap music and began rapping. After bagging the third position in Rohan Cariappa’s 1-minute Rap Challenge in 2020, he started posting rap songs on his Youtube Channel. Later, he joined the rap cypher and became the first ever rapper to collaborate with Nepali Hip-Hop musicians.
4 years back Tanishq Singh chose Paradox as his stage name based on J.D. Crowe’s ‘The Unsolvable Paradox.’ He got the idea after this book was displayed in Badshah’s Heartless in 2018. Fast forward to 2022, Paradox is among the most followed rappers in India with over 875K Instagram followers and 268K Youtube subscribers. His song Jaadugar has been streamed more than 16.5M times garnering him with around 3 Million monthly listeners on Spotify.
With a massive fan following, Paradox truly is winning hearts. His genre so far has been vast, and he is known for showcasing the experimental mode in hip hop. Every rap he has delivered very well puts forth his diverse series of thoughts and efforts. He recently stepped into the world of advertisements with MTV India’s FIFA World Cup’22 ad. This might be a ray of hope for his fans looking forward to seeing him act and we cannot be more excited!
