Meet Shayan Italia, a Hyderabadi, who has not just set a landmark in the UK top five charts with his first single “Reflections” but is actually being called the next Elton John from the East. The story behind the success of Shayan makes one realize that perseverance and ingenuity is all that one needs to make it big in life. Shayan lived a childhood like any of us. He did his schooling from the Doon School and pursued his under graduation in International Trade and Practices in India. Surprisingly, he has received no formal training in music.
