On the other hand , Kaun Mera was written for a project back in 2018 . Again , if you look at the three songs it comes to our mind that it is tied by a very thin thread of emotions you live in a relationship . When you fall for somebody , when love dictates and guides you through your relationship . This is why we think the EP works well together . A relationship is about the ups and the downs and sticking together . When you are talking about the moments that are happy , you also talk about the moments that aren ’ t so happy , Kaun Mera is about one of those moments . Stuart puts is really well . He says “ It feels like the past , the future , and the present are coming together because a couple of songs were written back in the past ” Mann is a good representation of what we sound , and will sound in the foreseeable future . Music industry is driven by social media presence . Where do you think the balance lies between being honest about the music and it being a hit on social media ?
Himonshu : I feel like the reason we make music is entirely different . The primary reason is us five bros making music together . I feel , to a large extent making music is an extremely spiritual affair where you are channeling your ideas , emotions , and thoughts that you don ’ t know where they come from . When you try to muddy it with a lot of materialistic and worldly things , it affects what you finally put out . There are different reasons to do different things , but for us , the reason we create music is to be honest with ourselves and express ourselves very freely . We don ’ t think about whether it will work on social media or not . Those kinds of things come into the picture once the songs are made already .

What are the best parts of recording sessions and live performances ?
Sahil : One of the best parts of recording is that you can record multiple takes of the same thing . If you make a mistake there is no love lost , you can always try once again . The challenging part about being in the studio is that every detail gets captured . You take one extra breath or add one little extra note and it needs to be re-done . This is a fun challenge as it makes you really crisp in portraying your idea .
Live is more about creating the synergy between the audience and the artist . Whatever we give to the audience it comes back 10-fold to us . To be a part of that exchange is why we do what we do . We do change a few things here and there to keep things new and fresh for us but at the same time , we ’ ve been those artists who pay respect to what was recorded . We want to translate the same feeling that the recording has when we play live .
What motivates you to make music and who do you write it for ?
Rajan : To answer that we will have to look at it from a very different perspective . It is not about writing it “ for ”, we write it as an expression of what we are feeling . It ’ s a mental release as opposed to writing “ for ” a certain subject . If you are trying to write it for something , then there is a particular goal that is outside the realm of your own spiritual journey . As Himonshu said , it is a very spiritual journey for us . We express our feelings , our ideas , and we share our opinions . In return what it gives us is a lot of mental peace . When you write something in your diary , and you deep dive into that thought and you release it on a piece of paper , you feel so relaxed and relieved .
That ’ s what music does to us . That the reason why we write the music that we do .
Himonshu : There is this joy when we finish writing the song that I have never felt from anything else in the world . When we finish writing a song together , even if it is an initial rough scratch , we feel immense happiness . Whatever fatigue you must have had , however your mood must have been it creates the biggest joy in the world . I mean , how can one compare it to anything else ?
So , is it fair to say that you will never stop making music until the day you die ?
Sahil : A 100 %
Rajan : If we are not going to stop feelings things , and we are not going to stop experiencing life then it will be difficult to stop making music .
Himonshu : [ laughs ] Even if we stop feeling new things , I think we have enough memories to write songs for quite a few years .
Rajan : Even in Lockdown we didn ’ t stop making music . We were all stuck in different locations but one of the biggest reasons why we got through the lockdown peacefully was because of the fact that we were supporting each other through thick and thin . Roz Roz was a song that the pandemic gave us . We were working on it through the Pandemic ’ s first year and then we met in 2021 to get it recorded . All the challenges that came inbetween making it happen were accepted , and it was worth it because of the way the song was received the way it was . To look at the bigger picture , the pandemic did take a lot from us all , but it gave us one more reason to call each other brothers .
