Anuv Jain And AP Dhillon’s ‘Afsos’ Nominated At JUNO Music Awards 2026

Indian singer-songwriter Anuv Jain and global Punjabi music star AP Dhillon have earned a major international nod as their collaborative track Afsos has been nominated at the JUNO Music Awards 2026 in the category South Asian Music Recording of the Year. The nomination marks a significant moment for South Asian music, reflecting its growing influence and visibility on the global stage.

The JUNO nomination places Afsos alongside a strong and competitive slate of works by artists including Karan Aujla, Ikky, Shubh, and others, highlighting the diverse sounds and evolving narratives shaping contemporary South Asian music worldwide. Widely resonant for its emotional depth and understated production, Afsos has connected with listeners across borders since its release.

For Anuv Jain, the recognition arrives at a defining phase in his career. Riding the momentum of his Dastakhat Tour, and following recent releases like Inaam, Jain continues to expand his global footprint while staying rooted in the honest, introspective songwriting that has defined his journey. Fan favourites such as Baarishein, Alag Aasmaan, Gul and Husn have further cemented his position as one of India’s most impactful independent voices to find international resonance.

The JUNO nomination not only underscores the success of Afsos as a cross-cultural collaboration but also signals a broader shift in global music ecosystems, where South Asian artists are increasingly shaping mainstream conversations beyond regional and linguistic boundaries.
