media that today people are intrigued by singers lives and
actually want to know what they look like and why they
do what they do. It’s helped singers like myself to come out
interact with people and share every small little happiness
with real fans. I’m grateful for all my fan clubs because they’re
so supportive and we’d be nothing without their love and
encouragement. We are glad that we get to speak to them
sometimes through social media and share our songs so closely.
Sukriti: Social media is extremely important these days otherwise
I think it's impossible to keep in touch with your fans or
audiences or even be able to share your upcoming work with the
world! You need to constantly keep tabs and social media helps
you be constantly inspired, motivated and keep reinventing
yourself in more than many ways! It's overwhelming to see
how many pages some really cute fan girls and boys have
created on our names and how much they love Prakriti and I
together! It's a constant boost for us to keep working hard and
have more and more music released in this year to come.
Having performed in many gigs, how do you manage to
engage the audience? Do you customise your playlist
based on the place you are performing in?
Prakriti: Always. I think not more than the first 5 songs of
our set list are really planned. It’s always the audience that
we mould our set according to. Always half an hour into
the show we gauge what’s working with the audience.
Sukriti: I think the only way to engage an audience is to have a
connection with them from the moment you start your show! On
our gigs we obviously sing some of our songs, but we also sing
some of our favourite songs. And our show format has a huge
section of non-stop mashups and medleys so that for sure helps
in engaging the audiences for a longer period instead of doing
one song after the other. And yes, we really depends where we
are travelling and what kind of audience is there and we mend
the set (delete some songs o add some new songs) accordingly!
Tell us your current and upcoming projects
Prakriti: I think it’s the best time to be around. It’s finally time
for independent music and singers to come out and shine. Today
you can release your own music in mediums like YouTube and
there will be audience for it. You can constantly offer your own
music and there will be buyers. You don’t really just have to
depend on films to get a song in. Today you can write your own
music, sing it the way you wish and upload it. Finally singers
are getting their due because they are slowly
becoming the face to their voice.
It’s been on my mind to release a single for years now. I
think it’s about time. Sukriti and I am working on our
first one which is composed and written by us and will
feature us as wvvell. I’m really stoked as it will be the
first time we lend our voices on one song together.
Sukriti: I sang on the Mubarakan title track late last year
and there was Neend Churayi from Golmaal returns
which is on a hundred million views now. This year
some really fun songs are lined up. My next is from
Sonu Ki Titu Ki Sweety and then in Dharmas' Drive.
