VIIas: Turning Creativity Into a Soundtrack for Those Still Finding Their Way

Boston, MA — For Sharan Vilas Parcha, known professionally as VIIas, music is more than simply creating songs. It is about entertaining people, inspiring those who are chasing a goal, and giving listeners something they can connect with while they navigate their own journey.

VIIas’ musical journey began in 2020, when he first started freestyling. Despite having no previous experience with rapping or formal practice, he discovered that he naturally had an ability to find his rhythm, flow over different beats, and create catchy lyrics. What began as experimentation eventually developed into a genuine passion for music.

From Freestyles to Finding His Voice

In 2024, during his first year of college, VIIas took another major step forward by beginning to write music more seriously. With every song, he continued developing his abilities, from strengthening his figurative language to finding new ways to make his lyrics relatable.

His growth has been driven by a willingness to improve every day. Rather than trying to become an artist overnight, VIIas has embraced the process of learning, experimenting, and discovering what kind of sound and message best represent him.

A People Person at Heart

Long before music became part of his identity, VIIas was drawn to entertaining others. As a kid, he loved making people laugh and creating moments that could make someone’s day better.

That same personality continues to influence his approach to music. While he may not describe himself as the most outgoing person, VIIas considers himself a people person who genuinely wants others to feel special. That desire to connect with people has become one of the defining qualities behind his artistry.

His creativity also extends beyond his personality. Whether he is developing his lyricism, experimenting with the sound of a song, or searching for the right way to express an idea, VIIas views music as an opportunity to create something unique.

“Who’s Next” Marks a New Chapter

VIIas officially entered a new chapter with his first-ever release, “Who’s Next.” Released through DistroKid while he was living in his college dorm, the song represented a major milestone in his journey.

At the time, VIIas didn’t know exactly how the song would sound or whether music was ultimately the path he was meant to pursue. But putting “Who’s Next” out into the world changed that. It became a statement of intent and a way of introducing himself to potential listeners.

For VIIas, the release remains one of his most meaningful memories. No matter what accomplishments, opportunities, or awards may come later in his career, he knows he will always remember the moment he took that first major step.

The Search for His Audience

Like many independent artists, one of VIIas’ biggest challenges has been promotion. Building a genuine fan base that truly connects with his music takes time, consistency, and patience.

Rather than allowing that challenge to discourage him, VIIas continues moving forward with the belief that the right audience is still out there. His goal isn’t simply to collect listeners—it is to find people who genuinely understand and enjoy what he creates.

He also recognizes that performing comes with its own challenges. Even with talent and preparation, nerves can affect anyone when they step into a studio or prepare to give their best performance. Learning how to manage those nerves has become another part of VIIas’ development as an artist.

Music for the Dreamers

At the heart of VIIas’ music is a desire to reach people who are searching for something. Whether someone already has a goal they’re chasing or is still trying to discover their passion, he wants his music to provide entertainment while potentially inspiring listeners along the way.

His journey from spontaneous freestyles in 2020 to releasing his first official song during college demonstrates an artist who is still growing, still experimenting, and still figuring out exactly where his music can take him.

For VIIas, the story is only beginning. “Who’s Next” introduced his name and opened the door—but the next chapters will be defined by how far he is willing to push his creativity, connect with listeners, and continue developing his craft.
