What a cover singer does
A cover singer performs songs that others made famous, so that a room can hear what it already loves, sung by a voice in the same space. The skill is in the choice and the pacing: which songs, in what order, with what energy. Dharmik Chudasama builds each set from your guests’ favourites, adjusts it to the room as the evening goes, and sings every song live in Dharmik’s own voice.
Many guests remember the lyrics better than anyone, so the best cover sets leave space for them to sing along, and the singer picks up on that and keeps it going.
Songs, singers and decades
The repertoire reaches across the eras of Hindi film music, and the playlist page lists it by singer.
- Film classics of the 60s and 70s: Kishore Kumar, Lata Mangeshkar, Mohammed Rafi
- The melodies of the 90s: Kumar Sanu, Udit Narayan and Alka Yagnik
- Modern ballads, including Arijit Singh and KK
- Sufi, ghazal, bhajan and garba
Cover versions and your event
The songs belong to their creators, and a cover performance is a live tribute, not a recording or a claim of ownership. For your event, the venue or the organiser normally holds the music licence that public performance needs, which many hotels and event venues already have. The playlist page and the terms explain this in plain words, and a song list can be shared in advance.
Building a set from your favourites
Send the songs that matter, the ones that must be played and any that should be avoided. A set of ten to fifteen songs gives a balanced hour: a gentle opening, three or four songs the whole room knows, a slow stretch and a lively close. New songs can be learnt when there is time to rehearse.
Cover, tribute and original: the differences
A cover is a song by another artist, performed live, in the cover singer’s own style. A tribute focuses on one artist’s songs and style, as a way of honouring them, and does not claim to be them. An original is a song written by the singer. Most events want covers, because guests know them, and a few want a tribute set. The distinction matters for the rights: covers and tributes use songs that belong to others, and the venue’s licence covers their public performance.

Questions
Good to know
A cover singer performs songs in the singer’s own voice. A tribute for one singer, such as the Arijit Singh or KK set lists, focuses on that singer’s songs and style, without claiming to be them.
Usually. Send the song with the date and the set is planned around it; new songs need a little rehearsal time.
Public performance usually needs one, held by the venue or the organiser; ask your venue. A song list can be shared in advance.
Guests may film for personal use. A professional recording or a stream needs agreement in advance, with the music rights arranged by the organiser.
Yes, in person or remotely, for events anywhere in the world.
Public performance is normally covered by the venue’s licence; the songs belong to their creators.
Yes, if the host wants one.
Everything is played live by the band, so the tempo, key and length change with the room, while a karaoke track stays fixed.
