Maharashtra Singer Darshan Magdum Joins US Boy Band Boy Throb
Darshan Magdum, a 22-year-old from Dundage village in Maharashtra, randomly chose to sing in English and share his music on social media. Starting as a hobby, his covers, including a popular rendition of The Weeknd's 'Blinding Lights,' gained attention. Last year, he received a call to join the American boy band Boy Throb and is now in the US, recently engaging with New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani. His family, though not professional musicians, supported his classical singing training during childhood.
