Anurag Mishra is a singer-songwriter, hailing from the state of Odisha. Having completed his studies from pedigreed institutions like NIT Rourkela and IIM Indore, he started pursuing his passion for singing and music during his corporate stint in Mumbai in the year 2015.

Since 2017, he has been working on his debut original album, where he has worked with multiple composers, fellow-singers, lyricists, and producers. It's his mega-collaborative maiden project. He describes his album as - "This record is called 'Project SWA' with 'SWA' referring to 'Self' in Hindi. These are few stories, originating from one-self describing the subconscious emotions within.

'Project SWA' is Anurag's brainchild, the beginning of his original independent music journey. The entire process has taken almost 2 years and he is finally ready to release the work. During this period, quitting corporate after NIT-IIM stints is a different story altogether.

The first video song out was 'Chal Pada' which talks about the feeling of 'moving on' from bad phases, depression, anxiety to better ones. This also leaves a message of how important it is, to celebrate moving on, through the journeys of five protagonists.



He'll be releasing six more concept-lyrical videos.

His debut record is called "Project SWA", with 'SWA' referring to 'Self' in Hindi. These are few stories, originating from one-self describing the subconscious emotions within us. These are undertones. Under-expressed, overlooked and under-valued. These are in our heads, but not on our faces. Anurag believes that these feelings deserve an expression. Some emotions may be like slow poison, some might be therapeutic. They are expressed in their rawest form. As an artist, this record is him and also what he's capable of.

The entire Project SWA album - remaining six videos and all eight audios (on streaming platforms) will release on 25th October 2019.
