Vikas Kohli, a music producer known for his international collaborations has co-written and produced the song "Did You Think", which has charted on several international radio stations. Sung by Portuguese-Canadian singer/songwriter Jennifer Abadesso, who also co-wrote the song, "Did You Think" features Juno award-winning hip-hop artist Moka Only.

"Jennifer Abadesso has a natural gift for catchy melodies and producing her music reminds me of the famous Portuguese Francesinha sandwich — both are chalk full of tastes that unexpectedly work so well together!" said Vikas Kohli, music producer and owner of FatLabs.

Within a week of being released, the "Did You Think" single has already charted on the following international radio stations:

#1 on the new singles chart on Radio Alfa 98.6FM (Paris, France) and #3 on the Radio Alfa’s regular rotation countdown

His accolades include: producing a feature song for Bollywood major motion picture Mission Istaanbul and another feature song for upcoming Bollywood major motion picture Tom, Dick and Harry Rock Again; composing the soundtrack for Canadian films I Do, Do I and Shanti Baba Ram and the Dancers of Hope; producing "The FatLabs Sessions" album by punk band The Responsibles, which debuted in the top-20 across Canada; collaborating with Mika Singh, Justin Nozuka, Moka Only (Swollen Members), and Cappadonna (Wu-Tang Clan).
