The Story Between The Notes

From Jaipur to Bahrain

Shelin Chacko is a singer, songwriter, poet and guitarist based in Bahrain, with roots in Jaipur, Rajasthan. For over a decade, his voice has shaped Bahrain's evenings — from intimate hotel residencies to packed festival stages across the Gulf.

His original music sits in a quiet, lived-in space: slow-rock romances like Hain Naya, fatherhood ballads like Baapu Teri, bilingual confessions like Alone, and the Valentine's Day premiere Aise Hi — a song born of a staycation he didn't want to end.

Beyond his solo work, Shelin fronts Bollywood Blues, a live ensemble that has played the Sofitel, the Ritz Carlton Bahrain, the Wyndham Grand, the Indian Club, and stages in Dammam and beyond.

He writes Hindi poetry — Swarthi Manav, Tanha, Bada Ped — quiet pieces that feel like they were always there, waiting. He teaches guitar. He shows up for the song.

Raw. Real. Resonant.
