What did you do musically through lockdown ? Did you release new music ?
Whether it was honing my vocal skills , or learning some music production , I made sure I kept myself occupied . I also set up a small home studio to do all my recordings and it was such an interesting process to learn and do everything on my own .
I also got to collaborate with this wonderful artist called Sindhu Rajaram who is based out of California and believe it or not , we got a song made sitting several miles away ! It was such an interesting process .
Challenges you faced when recording your songs / making new music
I felt I needed to get better at music production . But fortunately , I have some wonderful friends / artists who are so talented and I collaborated with them . I must definitely mention this phenomenally talented musician , Saurabh Joshi . One of the most earnest and sincere musicians I ’ ve worked with .
How do you think the music scene can recover from the pandemic hit ?
I always believe that we will always find a way to rise above any bad situation . The pandemic has stalled recordings and gigs from happening , but that ’ s only temporary . Looking at the bright side , a lot of self discovery is happening and artists across the world are sitting inside their homes and making brilliant music . This really inspires me !
The pandemic has made the world smaller . You can now collaborate with anyone from anywhere , and communication through zoom and other interfaces has made it so easy that
What can we look forward to from you now ?
I ’ ve been working on two interesting covers for my YouTube channel and am pretty excited about them ! As I continue to explore more in the independent music circuit , I would ideally want to keep learning more and reinventing . There is just so much good music these days and so many wonderfully talented people to collaborate with . It ’ s a world of possibilities !
