Both hugely popular and critically acclaimed, AGNEE is known for its hummable tunes, live wire performances and deeply-rooted Indian sound – with rock songs inspired by Kabir’s poetry, vedic and Carnatic classical music.
The band has won prestigious awards ( MTV Video Music Award, GIMA Award, Spikes Asia Award) and has also been featured on MTV Unplugged. They have a series of super hit songs (like Kabira, Sadho Re, Aahatein, Yaariyaan), more than 4,50,000 fans on Facebook, over 10 millions views on YouTube and a huge number of ringtone downloads.
They were the first Indian band to release their music for free online after releasing their debut album on SONY BMG in 2007, the first to involve their fans in their music making through the unique initiative “Create with Agnee”, and they’re the only band in India to combine composing for Bollywood (Mango, Shala, Dil Dosti Etc, Aalaap), Hollywood (The Avengers), and popular TV programs (like MTV Splitsvilla and The Roadies), as well as release independent singles frequently to showcase their band sound.
Agnee consists of Koco, lead guitarist, well known and respected musician in the rock music industry for over two decades, and Mohan, lead vocalist and multiple award winning Mridangam player with strong Carnatic and Hindustani classical influences. They’re backed up by a bunch of talented young musicians.
