Aditya Jassi was born in New Delhi, India, son of Documentary Film-Maker/Author Jaswin Jassi and Kiran Jassi. He initially studied in Air Force Bal Bharati School, Lodhi Road in Delhi and later went to a boarding school in Dehradun- Welham Boys’ School. It was here that he was introduced & fell in love with Music & Theatre. In college however, Theatre took a back seat and Music & Sports was at the fore front.
An English graduate from Delhi University, Music was still not a professional choice then which led him to pursue Civil Aviation. A Private Pilot License holder from the Delhi Flying Club, Aditya worked several jobs from Freelance Print Journalist to a Copywriter before completing his Post-Graduation in Mass Communication before joining Sahara News Channel as a Reporter/Producer/Anchor. But music was all he wanted to do.

Seven/7
‘7’ came through after years of struggle and hardships. It started with record labels not wanting to invest in ‘Non-Film Music’ as the industry seemed to have forgotten about independent artists.
