Celina Sharma Releases Highly Anticipated EP ‘Chapter 2’

International pop artist Celina Sharma has officially dropped her highly anticipated five-track EP, Chapter 2, available across all major streaming platforms via gamma.. The project marks her first major rollout following a strategic partnership between ERA Music and the US-based music and media giant.

Boasting more than 250 million total streams and over 625,000 monthly listeners, the 23-year-old Sydney-born, London-based artist enters a mature new chapter. Chapter 2 pivots away from her early vibrant pop releases toward a ballad-driven sound that explores themes of faith, family, loss, identity, and personal self-discovery.

“Centre of Peace” Featuring Indian Icon Sonu Nigam

At the heart of Chapter 2 is “Centre of Peace,” a standout collaboration with legendary Indian vocalist Sonu Nigam. Originally written as an English-language ballad exploring Sharma’s spiritual journey, the track evolved into a rich tribute to her Indian heritage, incorporating traditional live instrumentation recorded in Mumbai.

Serving as the only featured performance on the EP, “Centre of Peace” bridges Sharma’s contemporary Western pop sensibilities with Nigam’s timeless Indian vocal artistry.

“Chapter 2 feels like the first time I’ve really allowed people into my world,” says Celina Sharma. “I left home at 16 to follow this dream. There have been some amazing milestones, but also moments that challenged me in ways I never expected. This project is about all of it—growing up, finding myself and understanding that even the difficult moments shape who you are. I know myself so much better now as both a person and an artist.”

Growing Global Footprint and Connection to South Africa

Sharma’s connection to the African continent continues to strengthen following her live performance in Cape Town alongside R&B star Ella Mai in 2026. Her global footprint extends across the UK, Japan, and India, reflecting her multicultural Italian, Maltese, and Indian roots.

Sharma first captured international attention at 17 when she was named a BBC Future Sound artist—making her the youngest recipient at the time. Her 2021 breakout hit “24/7” with Harris J generated over 300 million streams and 7 billion TikTok views. She has since collaborated with high-profile names including Rich The Kid, Stonebwoy, Ivorian Doll, Not3s, and Emiway Bantai, while contributing to Marvel’s Eternals soundtrack (“Nach Mera Hero”) and Zedd’s Grammy-nominated album Telos.
