The 5th edition of the Clef Music Awards lit up Mumbai on September 19, 2025, at The Westin Garden City, celebrating the finest talent across India’s music industry. Organised by Indian Television Dot com’s ITV Group-India, the event saw participation from leading music labels including Tips Music, Universal Music, Warner Music, Believe India, and others, cementing its status as one of the country’s premier music award platforms.
The evening was graced by some of India’s biggest musical names, including Shilpa Rao, Shalmali Kholgade, Anu Malik, Sachin-Jigar, Madhubanti Bagchi, Armaan Malik, Daboo Malik, Kavi Narayan Agarwal, Rego B, Rema Lahiri, Shahid Mallya, Jyotica Tangri, and Shibani Kashyap. Performances and appearances by these artists added glamour and energy to the event.
With over 50 award categories, the Clef Music Awards 2025 recognised excellence across a wide spectrum of music, from pop, rock, classical, folk, devotional, fusion, to independent music. The awards celebrated both industry veterans who have shaped Indian music and emerging artists representing the future of creativity.
Winners received their accolades from notable presenters including Shibani Kashyap, Shahid Mallya, Rego B, Rema Lahiri, and Jyotica Tangri, marking a night of recognition and celebration for both established and rising talent.
A key highlight of the event remained its support for independent artists. With the tagline “Indie Revolution Starts Here”, the awards provided a platform for non-film musicians, giving them recognition, visibility, and opportunities in a market often dominated by film music. The indie categories saw intense competition, with several breakthrough talents celebrated for their originality and artistry.
The Clef Music Awards 2025 not only honoured excellence but also offered a rare space for networking, collaboration, and creative exchange among legends, contemporary hitmakers, and fresh voices from across India.
As the curtains fell on the grand evening, the message was clear: the Clef Music Awards continues to be a shining beacon of India’s vibrant and evolving music industry, celebrating diversity, talent, and innovation in equal measure.
