Rising rap and hip-hop artist Chauhan is back with his latest single, “Age 17,” an emotionally charged track that holds deep personal significance. Reflecting on his early journey as a songwriter, Chauhan's new release shares the struggles and triumphs that shaped his artistic path.

Though he began writing songs at the age of 15, it wasn’t until he turned 17 that Vaibhav Chauhan found the courage to share his creations with his family and friends. It was a turning point in his life—one that inspired him to persist despite the challenges and doubts that came from those around him. Now, “Age 17” stands as a testament to his resilience, ambition, and belief in himself.

After relocating to the UK, Vaibhav Chauhan connected with a supportive network of musicians who encouraged his creative journey. Their understanding and appreciation of his work fueled his passion to tell his story through music. The song features the poignant line, "Zindagi ki kadi sachai, Jispai kadi kri na gaur, Apne bhi Deve hai sath Jab chale hai thari Daur," which translates to "The hard reality of life is that your own beloved people support you when you finally make it; no one wants to support you while you're struggling."

In “Age 17,” Chauhan delivers a powerful message about perseverance and self-belief, with a chorus that encapsulates his hustler’s mindset: "Umar 17 mai likhe gane jo, Kayi hasse mar mar kehve, Bol tere low, Bhai thara pura hustler yo! Kaha rachengai itihaas, Ek din mere bol," meaning, "When I was 17, I tried to show my song to my loved ones, and they said to do something that suits you. But even then, I had a hustler's mindset and said one day my lyrics and music would create history."

Despite limited resources—using only basic recording software and a phone—Chauhan remained determined to pursue his dream. He draws inspiration from Punjabi icons like Sidhu Moosewala, who rose from humble beginnings to international fame. Like his role models, Chauhan aspires to bring global recognition to his village and language, using his music as a platform to showcase his roots.

Stay tuned as Chauhan continues to release new music, bringing his unique sound, relentless drive, and creative vision to the global stage.
