History
History
Times Music was established in 1998 under the leadership of Arun Arora, who was then the President and Executive Director of The Times of India and Times Global Broadcasting Co. Ltd. Tu Hi Tu was the first album released by Times Music. This was succeeded by Jalwa: Dance Hungama (Remix album), Dehajaan (Assamese album), Dil Le Gayee and Jadoo (Remix album). In 2000, the Indian music industry was ruled by Bollywood and international music. The intent of the label was to create albums tailored to appeal to the discerning audience, which resulted in Times Music's concepts of spiritual, world, and remix music in India. In 2009 Times Music became the first music company in India to introduce a Brainwave Sound Technology album called Bhakti Band. This was a fusion devotional/spiritual album. The album was composed by Vaibhav Saxena.
