Singer-Songwriter-Composer
SHASHAA TIRUPATI
What did you do musically through lockdown ? Did you release new music ?
I managed to release and work on more music ( particularly originals ) than i ' m normally able to ! We released Siyaahii , a collaboration with Papon , Leprechaun Love Ft . Marc D Muse , various other collaborations with brands , many singles / covers and I had a lot of time to work on my EP , which has been on hold due to other film projects and gigs prior . I also sang two songs on Paris Paris , the Queen remake released during the lockdown , a soundtrack composed by Amit Trivedi .
Challenges you faced when recording your songs / making new music
Dogs barking in the middle of the night and pigeons during the daytime every time I had to record audio . Also , I had an overtly temperamental microphone , a makeshift one , which would often have a buzz through the recording which I would notice after I ' d finish singing the entire song ! So plenty of retakes there as well . Having said that , it was an interesting experience and a very motivating one at that , to show us how much we can achieve in the direst of situations .
How do you think the music scene can recover from the pandemic hit ?
I think musicians supporting other musicians , especially independent artists , is a great place to start . Brands , labels , businesses and influencers ' support and contributions will be a tremendous help to bringing musicians ' sole source of livelihood back on track , bit by bit .
What can we look forward to from you now ?
Film , indie , collabs , singles and my first EP ( I plan to release the first song Mid December !). I ' ve written , composed and sung on all the tracks and it ' s a collaboration with some beautiful artists from North America . I ' m also working on a single with Neeti Mohan and Amrit Ramnath ( Bombay Jayashree ' s son ) due for release VERY soon .
