Indian singer Arko features on Billboard Charts

Indian singer-songwriter Arko Pravo Mukherjee, who was launched by filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt in Bollywood with "Jism 2" in 2012, has featured on the US Billboard Charts.

His song "Reeva" has become the No.1 Break Out Song for the Billboard Dance Club 50 Charts.

As per the April 1 reports, the track entered the Billboard Dance 50 Charts at Number 49. It has now climbed to number 45.

Arko said in a statement: "Since the past one year, my management team Sujit Tewari and Shehan Raj have been working on my parallel career in the West and we decided to independently launch the single and now we have major labels chasing us to tie up.

"We have received positive response from the US markets with this track playing in every single nightclub. Next I'm looking at collaborating with mainstream artistes like Bruno Mars and John Legend."

The video of the track was shot in Los Angeles. It will release in India on Monday.

The original club mix has been remixed by global DJs Sted-E & Hybrid Heights. The track will have a Bollywood mix featuring DJ Aqeel, YouTube sensation Shirley Setia and rapper Raftaar, and an EDM mix featuring Lost Stories.
