Aug 19, 2025
New Delhi [India], August 19: For Rockstar DSP, Independence Day celebrations have always been core memories. He unlocked his first back in 2022 when he became the first-ever Indian musician to be invited to New York to illuminate the iconic Empire State Building in celebration of Independence Day. Recalling the moment, DSP says, "It was a surreal honour to see the Indian tricolour light up the New York skyline. Being part of such a symbolic gesture on behalf of my country is something I'll carry with me forever." This historic lighting ceremony was part of a larger celebration of India's 75th year of independence, and DSP was honoured to compose the official patriotic anthem 'Har Ghar Tiranga' to mark this milestone. The song, which quickly became a national favourite, showcased his deep sense of nationalism and musical genius. Reflecting on the experience, he said, "Composing Har Ghar Tiranga was not just another project. It was a responsibility and a blessing. I poured my heart into every note to reflect the pride of every Indian home."
