Music career

Adithya's tribute to 6 ghazals originally rendered by Mehdi Hassan, Jagjit Singh, Hariharan, Ghulam Ali and Pankaj Udhas won him the Singer of the Year Silver Award from Swar Switzerland.

Adithya's first international single, Gham-e-Duniya, written by the Mughal poet Mirza Ghalib, featuring a Miss Universe finalist, earned a 5-star rating on Apple iTunes, and went viral on YouTube.

In 2014, Adithya featured Grammy nominated pianist Jonathan Wesley and flautist Parth Chandiramani for Tu Hi Dilruba, landing a consideration in the 57th Grammy Awards ballot, and a Silver Award in the Southeast Asian VIMA Music Awards.

Adithya collaborated with Massachusetts based composer Sonaljit and Hollywood screen & stage actress Yanna Fabian for Devanke in 2015, landing a consideration in the 58th Grammy Awards ballot, a nomination in the 3rd Radio City Freedom Awards, and a Judge's Special Award in the Southeast Asian VIMA Music Awards.

In 2017, Adithya released Aarzu, an all acoustic ghazal written by Daagh Dehlvi. The single featured musicians from across India, and was mastered by The Beatles’ Grammy winning engineer at the Abbey Road Studios, United Kingdom.

Adithya was featured on Grammy winning composer Laura Sullivan's single 900 Voices.

In 2020, Adithya's music also served as the main theme song in Saad Khan's film Loneliness, based on an account of the prevalent national social distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic.
