Artist Interview Series

We caught up with Varun Kapadia AKA Mizuchi, an artist, producer, creative director, and founder of his streetwear label, YV streetwear. Hailing from Mumbai, he is an artist that expands his work beyond the traditional world of hip-hop. Aiming to create a hybrid between hip-hop, house and dance-hall, Mizuchi aims to contribute to the growing expanse of independent artistry through sampling ethnic elements of Indian culture and experimenting with genre blends. Despite being completely independent, he was able to establish himself through acclaimed tracks such as ‘Bombay,’ ‘Brown Boy,’ ‘Prometheus’, and ‘Good For Me’ with music videos televised on Vh1, rap chart positions on Apple Music, support on various publications and cosigns from notable artists.
