Tell us about your songwriting process .
I never plan a songwriting session , it just happens . When I sit down to write lyrics , I don ’ t plan on what I am going to write about , I just write about whatever hits me at that moment . I have one rule for myself when it comes to songwriting and that is , never try to make your lyrics rhyme while writing . This is something that I used to do initially when I first started writing . I used to think that if the lyrics don ’ t rhyme in the first try , it ’ s not going to be a song .
But I was wrong . For me , it is really important to just write down lyrics and sentences or even random words related to what I am feeling . Then I connect everything together and form lyrics . After that , I make my tune and then finally make the lyrics rhyme wherever needed . For me , songwriting is just writing down what I am feeling or thinking about at that moment . I also try to take inspiration from the smallest of things around me in my daily life . Whether it ' s a candle , perfume bottle or even a piano , I am still learning how to find meaning in the simplest of things in life .
