What are your views on the Independent music scene in India ? How do you think it can be better ?
Independent music scene is at boom today . Artists like us got recognisation because of the independent work we have done . I dont think theres any better time than today to come out as musicians and artists . There are too many good acts and artists out there but i feel the lack of professional managements and resources is where the scene lacks a bit .
How important is collaboration to you ? Talk to us about the collaborations on this track .
Collabs bring multi genres , cultures and variations in my music . Putting in kutle khan with adarsh rao is one such example . So this track is sung by Gajendra verma and adarsh rao , penned by utsavi and the musical bits and arrangement are mine . Further mix mastered by yash tiwari and ayan dey .
