Talk to us about how you started out as an artist
Music was a very major part of my upbringing . My whole childhood was about these beautiful ghazals and Indian Classical music that my parents used to listen to . I opted for music during my school and then the learning never stopped . In high school , I figured that I had something interesting and unique to say and I started writing songs . It has been a crazy journey so far .
A lot of your music speaks about socially relevant topics . How do you pick the topics to talk about ? Is there a regime ?
I was always very sensitive about everything that was happening around me and I couldn ' t stop myself from writing about it . My upbringing and my city also taught me a lot of these deep-rooted things about our society which later came into my songs naturally .
Tell us a little bit about your songwriting process
I don ' t have a process as such but there is always something going on in my head . A couplet or a melody is always stuck there and I keep trying to resolve it . Also , I really like to write my songs while I am traveling , there is a different feeling about it . Honestly , it is a very natural process for me .
How important are lyrics according to you for a song ? I think lyrics are a very important part of a song . Especially for me lyrics are one the most important thing in a song . It is very fascinating and beautiful that a simple combination of 10-15 words can make a person feel so many things . It is magic .
Tell us about your most recent release and how it came about amid the pandemic situation
I have released a lot of music during the pandemic . Dheere Dheere , Kya Pata , and Mushkil Hai are some of my picks from the lot .
Talk to us about your recent session “ Mulaqat ”. What was it about ?
Mulaqat is a very personal and intimate live session . It is an online show where I play my music and interact with people . It is a very organic session . We try to create a safe space for people to join and interact and enjoy my music and poetry . We do it once every two-three months . By far we have done 4-5 sessions and have been joined by almost 600-700 people .
