Score Indie Quickie
HANITA BHAMBRI
Tell us about your latest Raataan chill mix with Tanishk & Jubin and the making of it
It was an amazing experience . It was the first time I was singing in Punjabi and that too a Bollywood song . I feel so honoured to represent indie music community in the mainstream space . I love pushing my own boundaries and experimenting with my voice and genres . And thankfully my community was just as welcoming and supportive for this song as they are for my indie releases .
Who or what inspired you to be a singer-songwriter when you first started ?
Music always made me feel I belonged , like that was my safe haven in the chaos of the world . And Damien Rice ’ s music especially brought me so much comfort and I wanted to do that for others . That is what pushed me to write songs and to be an artist - to help someone across continents feel less alone
Talk to us about your process of creating a new piece of work . What are some of the steps you follow ?
I don ’ t have specific steps . I usually like to do everything together - the words , the melody , the chords and the instrumentation . And the song slowly evolves and reaches a place where I feel like it ’ s ready to be recorded and released .
