LA-based DJ duo Almost Famous may take centre stage in youth-driven drama ‘The Tribe’

The Tribe, a series produced by Karan Johar’s Dharmatic Entertainment, has also appealed to audiences with its music and the presence of Almost Famous. Amidst a sea of talent in the world of entertainment, it is no walk in the park to stand out from others. Among enormously talented individuals, those who stand out are the ones who do the unconventional. This very quality has worked wonders for them, helping them become promising talents in the ever-evolving industry.

One such show, The Tribe, showcased the skills of young Indian influencers as they tried to make it big in Los Angeles. However, the show, which was produced by Karan Johar’s Dharmatic Entertainment, also gained popularity for its musical appeal and the presence of the LA-based duo Almost Famous, comprising producers and DJs Simarjeet Saini and Rishab Sadarangani.

The show’s early reception from audiences proved why it reached the No. 1 spot on OTT platforms in India, Canada, and the Middle East. It was hailed for its fresh exploration of youth, music culture, and the complicated journey of rising artists. One of the unexpected highlights of the show has been the music—an eclectic blend of East and West—largely in the signature style of Almost Famous. Their track, Let Me Go, featured in a visually captivating music video that became the talk of the town. Their recent track Unsick with Tyla Yaweh was filmed vibrantly in Mumbai. Simarjeet Saini also produced the music video that garnered 50 million streams in its debut month, featuring French Montana and Guru Randhawa.

The duo’s involvement in both the music and storyline of The Tribe reflects the growing trend of global collaborations in the OTT space. Industry sources say that the show’s producers have not yet confirmed the extent of the duo’s involvement in future seasons, but early indicators suggest their roles may expand. Hardik Zaveri, who manages business strategy for the duo, stated that production discussions are already underway for Season 2 of The Tribe.

Viewer metrics from OTT platforms indicate a strong youth demographic, with engagement driven by the music and its realistic portrayal of the creative industry. Further details on Season 2 of the show, including the presence of Almost Famous, are expected to be announced soon.
