Astitva Band's Official Website: http://www.astitvatheband.com/

Astitva is a Multi Genre Hindi band, based in New Delhi, India. The name has been derived from Astitva (Devnagari) a Sanskrit word meaning identity.

The simple definition of Astitva is Existence.

The Band “Astitva” insists on setting feelings above mere technique and creating an individualistic genre of mold breaking music. Above everything else Astitva is stylistically different, born out of diverse western pop/rock and Hindustani Classical influences, Astitva started in 2007 to give birth to a serious cutting-edge band, blending deeply meditative ragas with rock and jazz, with a hint of URDU POETRY.

The compositions of Astitva are composed in such a way that a common man can relate to. Every song is different from each other and each song brings out a different emotion, and most of the songs have an entire story wrapped in them.

Astitva are:

SALMAN KHAN (Vocalist)

ZAMAN KHAN (Lead guitarist & vocalist)

JAMES (Bass guitarist)

AYUSH (Drummer & Percussions)

KAMAL (Keyboards)
