  Speaker 5: Thank you so much, Sammy, so so cool of you
• 19:13
  Speaker 5: to have me.
• 19:14
  Speaker 7: It's an honor and a pleasure for us. I wanted
• 19:17
  Speaker 7: to get into this, you know, for all of our
• 19:20
  Speaker 7: US fans here. I know you're a big Lincoln Park fan.
• 19:24
  Speaker 7: You know, how does a trained vocalist in the Agara
• 19:29
  Speaker 7: got on our classical tradition find comfort in Lincoln Park
• 19:34
  Speaker 7: and what connected you to their music?
• 19:38
  Speaker 5: In fact, I mean Lincoln Park was just like it
• 19:42
  Speaker 5: was just a gateway for me to enter the world
• 19:46
  Speaker 5: of metal music, honestly, because yeah, I started with listening
• 19:51
  Speaker 5: to the Linked Park and then in a couple of years,
• 19:55
  Speaker 5: I think my favorite band was my Suga and I
• 19:59
  Speaker 5: I'm still a pretty it's pretty hardcore metal head as
• 20:04
  Speaker 5: we can, as we call ourselves. And you know, I've
• 20:07
  Speaker 5: become like pretty much a closeted metal head because no
• 20:11
  Speaker 5: one expects a Bollywood or even a classical classically trained
• 20:16
  Speaker 5: singer to be a metal head. Because I've faced quite
• 20:20
  Speaker 5: quite a bit of judgments in the past because of this.
• 20:23
  Speaker 5: But yeah, nowadays I've I've started shedding those inhibitions. I'm like,
• 20:27
  Speaker 5: this is who I am. I can't. I can't do
• 20:29
  Speaker 5: this whole hide and seek business anymore. I like metal.
• 20:33
  Speaker 5: I love the way metal heads behave on stage and
• 20:36
  Speaker 5: the whole the full thing. I'm very fond of it.
• 20:40
  Speaker 5: And yeah, I mean I think I was in school
• 20:42
  Speaker 5: the first time I heard Lincoln Park. Some a friend,
• 20:47
  Speaker 5: friend or somebody had given me that I had just
• 20:50
  Speaker 5: had lent me their Walkman with the Hybrid Theory and
• 20:56
  Speaker 5: Mateioral albums on both Sides or something like that, and
• 20:59
  Speaker 5: I just listened to those albums for I mean, NonStop,
• 21:03
  Speaker 5: for months. It's just it's the only thing that I
• 21:07
  Speaker 5: listened to. And even those days, those days were like
• 21:11
  Speaker 5: that that you could just listen to and there was
• 21:14
  Speaker 5: no marketing or anything behind it. Somebody handed me down
• 21:18
  Speaker 5: a CD and I became so fond of it, and
• 21:21
  Speaker 5: I was obsessed with these two albums and I just
• 21:24
  Speaker 5: heard them till the cities broke. So that's how I
• 21:29
  Speaker 5: became a fan of Lincoln Park.
• 21:31
  Speaker 7: That's such a such a cool story. Of course, Lincoln
• 21:33
  Speaker 7: Park from here in Los Angeles, so that's a very
• 21:36
  Speaker 7: cool connection in that way. I hear it in your
• 21:40
  Speaker 7: voice to me, you remind me of a very powerful
• 21:44
  Speaker 7: luxury sedan. You are elegant enough, but you pack a
• 21:50
  Speaker 7: lot of power under the hood. Is that a fair
• 21:53
  Speaker 7: comparison for me to make?
• 21:54
  Speaker 13: Oh?
• 21:55
  Speaker 5: That's that's that's a very cool comparison. No one has.
• 21:58
  Speaker 5: Oh this is a nice compliment.
• 21:59
  Speaker 9: No one has this for me ever.
• 22:01
  Speaker 5: Oh wow, I.
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: Love this right?
• 22:05
  Speaker 7: What do you think about that?
• 22:06
  Speaker 18: Is that?
• 22:06
  Speaker 7: Is that true?
• 22:09
  Speaker 9: It is?
• 22:09
  Speaker 18: It is?
• 22:10
  Speaker 5: Actually, that's really that's quite true. Yeah, I mean there
• 22:15
  Speaker 5: there is. First of all, no one could visually accept
• 22:22
  Speaker 5: a lot of things from me because when I was
• 22:24
  Speaker 5: even doing classical music, I started very young as a
• 22:28
  Speaker 5: as a student to classical music, and I used to
• 22:32
  Speaker 5: sing a lot of things that go beyond my years.
• 22:37
  Speaker 5: And even then, people would, you know, hear the hear
• 22:40
  Speaker 5: my voice and they would be very confused about my age.
• 22:44
  Speaker 5: And even now this this still happens that people would
• 22:48
  Speaker 5: hear me and they would think that, oh, it must
• 22:50
  Speaker 5: be a very senior singer or somebody very experienced and aged,
• 22:57
  Speaker 5: mature classical voice. But I'm like, hey, I'm just average
• 23:01
  Speaker 5: link bart fan, I'm.
• 23:04
  Speaker 7: Just a rough girl. I'm speaking to one of the
• 23:08
  Speaker 7: top singers in all of India and we only hear
• 23:12
  Speaker 7: the final product of what you make. It's an industry
• 23:16
  Speaker 7: that is very competitive. We think that once you've made it,
• 23:20
  Speaker 7: you've made it in this business. Is it that simple?
• 23:25
  Speaker 5: Of course, it's never that simple, because I think the
• 23:28
  Speaker 5: pressure increases by many force once you've made it in
• 23:34
  Speaker 5: a certain way. The moment that you get that opportunity
• 23:38
  Speaker 5: where you know that other people are taking you seriously,
• 23:42
  Speaker 5: that's the moment the pressure hits you hard. You know
• 23:46
  Speaker 5: that now you have to take yourself way more seriously.
• 23:50
  Speaker 5: And then you have to to you know, to get
• 23:55
  Speaker 5: all the strategies correct and played right and of because
• 24:00
  Speaker 5: of all the while performing well, singing well. Of course
• 24:04
  Speaker 5: those are I mean, they are the obvious things that
• 24:08
  Speaker 5: need to be correct, but also the other things around
• 24:12
  Speaker 5: because you know, one wrong move and it can be anything.
• 24:15
  Speaker 5: It can be on social media, it can be an
• 24:18
  Speaker 5: interpersonal relationship bait with any individual or any company. There
• 24:24
  Speaker 5: are so many different factors are there in the industry,
• 24:27
  Speaker 5: so you have to be very very careful about what
• 24:30
  Speaker 5: you're saying and what you're doing in addition to what
• 24:32
  Speaker 5: you're singing and how you're performing. So I think, yeah,
• 24:38
  Speaker 5: I mean, it's never you've never really made it, made
• 24:41
  Speaker 5: it because even if you look at the seniors right now,
• 24:46
  Speaker 5: they are still putting in so much hard work to
• 24:49
  Speaker 5: be there and to be relevant and to be actively
• 24:53
  Speaker 5: doing this every day. It's a thing. You can never
• 24:57
  Speaker 5: take it for grantism. You can never feel that, oh,
• 24:59
  Speaker 5: now have made it.
• 25:01
  Speaker 7: That's very interesting. Yeah, we forget that we really do
• 25:05
  Speaker 7: the public whenever we're watching artists like yourself, don't we
• 25:10
  Speaker 7: don't realize that there's so much still going on. You know,
• 25:14
  Speaker 7: It's an interesting position that you're put in. You know,
• 25:17
  Speaker 7: how difficult is it for a playback singer to create
• 25:21
  Speaker 7: their own identity, especially in an Indian cinema in Bollywood
• 25:25
  Speaker 7: where uh, it's an industry that demands that you have
• 25:31
  Speaker 7: your own identity but not too much, you know, and
• 25:35
  Speaker 7: how how difficult is managing those things that sentiment there.
• 25:42
  Speaker 5: I think it's a choice. You know, at this point
• 25:44
  Speaker 5: of time, there was a time when singers artist we
• 25:48
  Speaker 5: didn't have much of a choice because the dominant force
• 25:52
  Speaker 5: was Bollywood and exactly as you said, Bollywood needs you
• 25:56
  Speaker 5: to be different but not too different, and so so
• 26:01
  Speaker 5: that you seamlessly, you know, even when your voice is playing,
• 26:05
  Speaker 5: we can we can still we should be able to
• 26:08
  Speaker 5: imagine another actors space while your voice is going on.
• 26:12
  Speaker 5: So that's the whole fundamental thing about playback singing. I mean,
• 26:19
  Speaker 5: you're never in the forefront, you are at the back.
• 26:22
  Speaker 5: You are representing the visuals of somebody else. Right now,
• 26:27
  Speaker 5: I think the change that we are going through is
• 26:32
  Speaker 5: that a lot of us who are who started with
• 26:36
  Speaker 5: playback music and because our generation on the whole, we
• 26:40
  Speaker 5: have grown up on a lot of bollywoods. It was
• 26:44
  Speaker 5: pretty much a systematic It was almost like a default
• 26:49
  Speaker 5: choice for anybody who was wanting to do music in
• 26:54
  Speaker 5: the music or like, all we thought was that, Okay,
• 26:57
  Speaker 5: if as a singer, I want to make it big,
• 26:59
  Speaker 5: then have to go grow up and become like Ornan
• 27:04
  Speaker 5: and obviously if if you can think about Latakid and
• 27:10
  Speaker 5: people like that. But with time things changed. I mean, yeah,
• 27:14
  Speaker 5: of course this was already happening in the Panjabi pop
• 27:18
  Speaker 5: situation and the majority of the country. I think we
• 27:23
  Speaker 5: were exposed to it, but we were not that influenced
• 27:26
  Speaker 5: to it, maybe because of the language barrier or whatever
• 27:30
  Speaker 5: the factors cultural factors. But with time, I think all
• 27:35
  Speaker 5: of us artists, especially the ones who who can write
• 27:38
  Speaker 5: their own music. I think we all realize that, yeah,
• 27:43
  Speaker 5: maybe we can create our own world, because what ends
• 27:46
  Speaker 5: up happening for us is that we end up being
• 27:49
  Speaker 5: like that all in every subdey. You know, if I
• 27:53
  Speaker 5: may say it like that, that whatever the situation is
• 27:57
  Speaker 5: and which is being put into their into that rock,
• 28:00
  Speaker 5: and you just become this, take your glorious form and
• 28:04
  Speaker 5: just be there and make that that particular dis beautiful.
• 28:08
  Speaker 5: But then no one knows what individually you stand for.
• 28:13
  Speaker 7: That's so great. Oh my goodness, I think that analogy
• 28:16
  Speaker 7: is better than my luxury car analogy. You just you win,
• 28:20
  Speaker 7: you win, You win the trophy for the analogy of
• 28:22
  Speaker 7: the day right there. I think my audience would be
• 28:27
  Speaker 7: outside of my studio with pitchforks if they didn't have
• 28:30
  Speaker 7: me ask you about the song. It's crossed two billion
• 28:35
  Speaker 7: views on YouTube, uh Tamannabatti of course picturizing the song.
• 28:41
  Speaker 7: At what point in the studio session before were you like,
• 28:45
  Speaker 7: this is going to cross a billion views? Because you
• 28:49
  Speaker 7: couldn't have thought too.
• 28:51
  Speaker 5: Nobody nobody thought that it's going to become this pic
• 28:54
  Speaker 5: It was like it was a cultural moment at that
• 28:57
  Speaker 5: point of sty it's it's still is like I don't
• 29:01
  Speaker 5: think anybody has forgotten what actually RAT was. It still
• 29:06
  Speaker 5: is a very dominating song wherever I go, it's still there.
• 29:11
  Speaker 12: You know.
• 29:11
  Speaker 5: How do you know, like people like us, how do
• 29:13
  Speaker 5: we know if a song is really working well, especially
• 29:16
  Speaker 5: during the festival We beat whatever festival in whichever state,
• 29:20
  Speaker 5: beat something in Bengal or something in Marastra or something
• 29:23
  Speaker 5: in the Jab like or in Deli. If there's a
• 29:27
  Speaker 5: festival going on and people are dancing on the street,
• 29:30
  Speaker 5: this song needs to play. This is one of those songs.
• 29:33
  Speaker 5: So that's when you know that the song has made it.
• 29:36
  Speaker 5: It doesn't hand actually whether it has a billion views
• 29:39
  Speaker 5: or x number of million streams on certain audio platforms,
• 29:44
  Speaker 5: but you get to know. But what happened obviously while
• 29:48
  Speaker 5: making a song, no one gets to know how far
• 29:54
  Speaker 5: this can go. If people knew, then we would probably
• 29:59
  Speaker 5: you know, would have algorithm for that as well. We
• 30:03
  Speaker 5: would have we would have a lot more money. We
• 30:07
  Speaker 5: would probably have betting platforms on that. But nobody knows.
• 30:12
  Speaker 5: It's it's a random it's an act of randomness which
• 30:16
  Speaker 5: song works and which song does. When nobody gets to
• 30:18
  Speaker 5: know but I just remember one feeling. When the song
• 30:22
  Speaker 5: had come to me for me to sing, I became
• 30:29
  Speaker 5: very particular about the way I was singing it. I
• 30:33
  Speaker 5: felt that there was something about the song which was
• 30:36
  Speaker 5: very attractive, and and I was I was saying that
• 30:41
  Speaker 5: as a listener, not as a singer, because the scratch itself.
• 30:45
  Speaker 5: After singing this cratch, the basic mixed track that I had,
• 30:49
  Speaker 5: I was listening to it over and over again because
• 30:51
  Speaker 5: I felt like there's something very something was attracting me
• 30:56
  Speaker 5: to this song, and I wanted to hear it again
• 30:59
  Speaker 5: so that you know, there's a possibility that people might
• 31:04
  Speaker 5: also feel that way. So I became very picky about
• 31:07
  Speaker 5: how I was singing this song, and I recorded like
• 31:10
  Speaker 5: multiple takes of the full of the song, just to
• 31:14
  Speaker 5: get the perspective right, just to get the feel right.
• 31:17
  Speaker 5: Because a song can be sung in a hundred different ways.
• 31:21
  Speaker 5: I feel it can be. I can sing the same
• 31:24
  Speaker 5: song in a pop way, or or maybe an overtly
• 31:28
  Speaker 5: classical way, or maybe a very seductive way, So there
• 31:33
  Speaker 5: have to be that sweet Spottill the time I reached
• 31:36
  Speaker 5: that sweet sport, I kept singing, and once I finished that,
• 31:41
  Speaker 5: and I figured that Okay, we can do a mix
• 31:43
  Speaker 5: and match of the different takes from the different versions
• 31:46
  Speaker 5: that I've sung. So that's how And it took me
• 31:50
  Speaker 5: a while to be happy about that about my own
• 31:53
  Speaker 5: performance in the song. And obviously I'm not saying that
• 31:56
  Speaker 5: that's why the song has become PIX. But we were
• 31:59
  Speaker 5: all basically in someone individual capacities. We were all even
• 32:03
  Speaker 5: such intriguer ada. We were all trying very hard to
• 32:09
  Speaker 5: give up best, right, you know, something about the song
• 32:13
  Speaker 5: basically told us that, you know, there's there is a
• 32:16
  Speaker 5: possibility that this time become a very big song.
• 32:18
  Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, well, and here we are, you know, uh yeah.
• 32:25
  Speaker 7: Indian music is going through a very interesting global moment.
• 32:28
  Speaker 7: There's this global emergence moment that has in my eyes,
• 32:34
  Speaker 7: that's starting to reverse back into Indian music.
• 32:39
  Speaker 12: You know.
• 32:40
  Speaker 7: I guess my question is this has the possibility of
• 32:44
  Speaker 7: where a song can go now amongst this global audience.
• 32:48
  Speaker 7: Has this started to influence how you sing or let's
• 32:52
  Speaker 7: just even take it, you know, even a step further.
• 32:55
  Speaker 7: How producers are now coming up with songs?
• 32:58
  Speaker 10: Are there?
• 32:59
  Speaker 7: Are they thinking much more global way? Because back in
• 33:02
  Speaker 7: the day, it seemed like, yo, you need a song
• 33:04
  Speaker 7: for the folky people in the rural areas, and then
• 33:08
  Speaker 7: you needed a song for the city, and then there
• 33:11
  Speaker 7: was this, and then there was a slow song, and
• 33:13
  Speaker 7: there was a you kind of have these things to
• 33:15
  Speaker 7: check off. Has that changed now? Has the global landscape
• 33:19
  Speaker 7: changed how you're making music?
• 33:22
  Speaker 5: Very honestly, with the Internet opening up, I think people,
• 33:28
  Speaker 5: even you would be so surprised that people in very
• 33:32
  Speaker 5: small towns and almost villages the kind of access, the
• 33:37
  Speaker 5: kind of access to the kind of music they have,
• 33:40
  Speaker 5: and people are listening to international hip hop. They are
• 33:44
  Speaker 5: listening to whatever that they want to.
• 33:47
  Speaker 7: They're listening to Drake and Kendrick and.
• 33:51
  Speaker 5: They absolutely relate to it, which blows my mind that
• 33:56
  Speaker 5: how the world has opened up. They probably have no
• 33:59
  Speaker 5: idea where they have no idea about the country that
• 34:03
  Speaker 5: these artists are from, but they can relate to whatever
• 34:07
  Speaker 5: they're writing about. That's the power of music, and I
• 34:11
  Speaker 5: feel because of that reason, it's been I think the
• 34:14
  Speaker 5: last seven to eight years have been very.
• 34:20
  Speaker 12: Very.
• 34:22
  Speaker 5: Transformational for the Indian production scene as well. I feel
• 34:26
  Speaker 5: that the production that we have in songs, I'm not
• 34:30
  Speaker 5: talking about people who deliberately don't engage into very modern production.
• 34:39
  Speaker 5: But in general the songs that get released nowadays, I
• 34:43
  Speaker 5: think the approach is pretty international because people are already
• 34:48
  Speaker 5: used to it. It's exactly what's happening with you know,
• 34:51
  Speaker 5: when Netflix came into the scene, so it opened up
• 34:54
  Speaker 5: everybody's watching all the globally the globally acclaimed and all
• 35:01
  Speaker 5: the movies. People who are having access to Indian movies
• 35:04
  Speaker 5: and the global movies at the same time, be a
• 35:06
  Speaker 5: Amazon time and whatever, so you are, it's very easy
• 35:10
  Speaker 5: for an audience a person to basically compare the qualities
• 35:15
  Speaker 5: of the two products. Right, So it's the same thing
• 35:18
  Speaker 5: is happening with music as well. So if a song
• 35:21
  Speaker 5: has a pretty bad very they see and raw production,
• 35:27
  Speaker 5: it's not standing well with a certain thread against song
• 35:31
  Speaker 5: that you're listening to, So then people basically lose interest.
• 35:35
  Speaker 5: So the production quality had to come up in order
• 35:39
  Speaker 5: to match up with all the other things that people
• 35:41
  Speaker 5: are listening to.
• 35:42
  Speaker 7: Yeah, well, put, that's well put. Let's talk about this.
• 35:45
  Speaker 7: Let's talk about the independent music industry. I've known you
• 35:49
  Speaker 7: for a long time and as a friend, I know
• 35:51
  Speaker 7: that you have been very active in creating your own
• 35:55
  Speaker 7: space here. I recently saw that you have studied an
• 36:00
  Speaker 7: initiative where you'll be performing in different places for free
• 36:04
  Speaker 7: and kind of like a pop up performance series. Tell
• 36:08
  Speaker 7: us what inspired that?
• 36:11
  Speaker 5: What inspired that is basically I felt that all of
• 36:16
  Speaker 5: us artists who have this big entourage and this big
• 36:20
  Speaker 5: production that you know, is required to require to put
• 36:24
  Speaker 5: up a show, what is happening with us is that
• 36:30
  Speaker 5: we are losing touch with our audience. A large majority
• 36:36
  Speaker 5: of who who stay in like THEO two or the three.
• 36:41
  Speaker 5: And I don't want to like categorize the problems. Yeah,
• 36:47
  Speaker 5: what happens is that you know, that kind of production
• 36:50
  Speaker 5: and that kind of you know, back line and everything
• 36:53
  Speaker 5: cannot reach those places. So what ends up happening is
• 36:56
  Speaker 5: that majority of artists do not perform in those zero
• 37:00
  Speaker 5: towns at all, and hence a large majority of people
• 37:05
  Speaker 5: don't get to hear their favorite artists ever, which I
• 37:11
  Speaker 5: feel is not fair. I remember my parents and basically
• 37:15
  Speaker 5: I was born in a very small town in the
• 37:19
  Speaker 5: north of Bengal Withal and that town is so small.
• 37:24
  Speaker 5: I'll tell you, even ten years back, we didn't have
• 37:27
  Speaker 5: our railway lines connecting us to the main city, like
• 37:31
  Speaker 5: from Calcutta. It takes a twelve hour bus journey to
• 37:36
  Speaker 5: that city. But in spite of that, my parents they
• 37:41
  Speaker 5: actually grew up on great music and live music like
• 37:46
  Speaker 5: Gla would go and perform there and they've heard him live.
• 37:52
  Speaker 5: But in today's times, can can people of towns of
• 37:58
  Speaker 5: you know, similar backs grounds, can people belong to belong
• 38:03
  Speaker 5: to those towns? Can the access live performances of the stature?
• 38:08
  Speaker 5: They cannot because artists are immensely busy with their US
• 38:15
  Speaker 5: toes and their Australia tours, and they're India toes which
• 38:18
  Speaker 5: are only catering to certain levels of you know, the
• 38:23
  Speaker 5: a ther cities or the metro cities, or you know
• 38:28
  Speaker 5: where the ticket prices are also high and people are
• 38:31
  Speaker 5: coming for an overall experience where the expend the whole
• 38:36
  Speaker 5: the cost of the show is probably crossing some tens
• 38:39
  Speaker 5: or or something. So I feel that it is unfair
• 38:45
  Speaker 5: that you know, only a certain group of people will
• 38:47
  Speaker 5: be able to hear me and the other people because see,
• 38:50
  Speaker 5: another very important thing I feel is that taste building
• 38:54
  Speaker 5: always starts from russ if you have disconnected from the
• 38:59
  Speaker 5: road completely, and we are only catering to cities, So
• 39:04
  Speaker 5: people who are not directly in cities, if they are
• 39:09
  Speaker 5: never getting to hear good live music. They will automatically
• 39:14
  Speaker 5: automatically listen to music which is probably not as good.
• 39:18
  Speaker 5: They don't have a choice, right, But if they do,
• 39:21
  Speaker 5: if like a bunch of kids, do listen to a
• 39:24
  Speaker 5: great live performance, maybe not with a huge production, but
• 39:28
  Speaker 5: a great life, perfect life performance with good music happening
• 39:32
  Speaker 5: in front of them, I think it can improve their
• 39:36
  Speaker 5: taste in music as well, and they eventually might choose
• 39:40
  Speaker 5: to whether they choose to become musicians or listeners. It's
• 39:44
  Speaker 5: overall a good thing to happen in their life. Is
• 39:47
  Speaker 5: the exact way my parents still remember when all these
• 39:51
  Speaker 5: great artists, all the classical artists used to go and
• 39:56
  Speaker 5: I think the classical artists has done it much better
• 39:59
  Speaker 5: than the commercial artist. Yeah, Zac and REVISIONI they used
• 40:04
  Speaker 5: to go to anything and they would perform. It doesn't
• 40:08
  Speaker 5: matter whether it's a five hundred seat auditorium or it's
• 40:12
  Speaker 5: like a bunch of two hundred people just sitting on
• 40:16
  Speaker 5: chairs or just on the ground who've just come to
• 40:19
  Speaker 5: listen to his artists. And there is no production. There
• 40:22
  Speaker 5: is just one two microphones and probably a bunch of
• 40:26
  Speaker 5: you know, speakers as PM there's no nothing else but
• 40:31
  Speaker 5: that their minimum as who can bring out great music
• 40:35
  Speaker 5: if your music is good, And that is something which
• 40:38
  Speaker 5: I feel that the commercial musicians have criminally avoided doing,
• 40:45
  Speaker 5: which I feel is not fair. I mean, I'm not
• 40:47
  Speaker 5: saying that you go and do Yeah, I feel that
• 40:51
  Speaker 5: that's something which is not fair to our audience.
• 40:56
  Speaker 7: When you put out your own independent music, there's no
• 40:59
  Speaker 7: movieing it, no star, no built in audience. It stands
• 41:04
  Speaker 7: or falls on you alone. You know, why take that
• 41:08
  Speaker 7: risk when you're already one of the most in demand
• 41:11
  Speaker 7: voices in your industry. I guess I'm trying to say
• 41:14
  Speaker 7: to you. I guess I'm trying to ask, is what
• 41:17
  Speaker 7: does going independent give you that being one of the
• 41:21
  Speaker 7: biggest vocal stars in your industry does not give you personally?
• 41:27
  Speaker 5: I think that's in the name off right independence. I
• 41:31
  Speaker 5: have the freedom to fail. I don't have to think
• 41:36
  Speaker 5: about that. Oh my god, this song has to become
• 41:38
  Speaker 5: this big, mind numbillie, huge number. It has to have.
• 41:45
  Speaker 5: All the song needs to do is express what I
• 41:50
  Speaker 5: am trying to say, and even if, even if it
• 41:53
  Speaker 5: reaches to a few hundred people, I will give it it.
• 41:56
  Speaker 5: So I don't have. I don't put any pressure on
• 41:59
  Speaker 5: myself to create a song that needs to perform well
• 42:04
  Speaker 5: in the market, because unfortunately, or fortunately what obviously it
• 42:08
  Speaker 5: is unfortunate that in today's days, the way everything is
• 42:15
  Speaker 5: too much into an algorithm. You know, if you don't
• 42:18
  Speaker 5: speed into the algorithm, no matter how good your music is,
• 42:22
  Speaker 5: it's just not going to glow up. It's being programmed
• 42:26
  Speaker 5: that way. So the fact that you know, I really
• 42:32
  Speaker 5: don't want to take that pressure. I want the film
• 42:35
  Speaker 5: work to take all that pressure, and all my playback
• 42:38
  Speaker 5: work is going to do that. I will take all
• 42:41
  Speaker 5: the pressure for that. But when it comes to my
• 42:43
  Speaker 5: independent music, the whole point of doing that music is
• 42:47
  Speaker 5: that A I do not want to take any instructions
• 42:50
  Speaker 5: from anyone that you know, you should do this kind
• 42:54
  Speaker 5: of music or this is the kind of music that
• 42:56
  Speaker 5: is working. It's got nothing to do with me. Why
• 43:00
  Speaker 5: should I concern myself with what is working?
• 43:04
  Speaker 12: What works?
• 43:05
  Speaker 5: First of all, no one knows what works. Nobody started
• 43:08
  Speaker 5: listening to the Beatles because they were working some random
• 43:11
  Speaker 5: that I thought that, oh, there weird band with these
• 43:14
  Speaker 5: four people and very strange songs. They might be successful.
• 43:20
  Speaker 5: Let's you know, get their album out and stuff like that,
• 43:23
  Speaker 5: so nobody can predict what's going to work and what's
• 43:26
  Speaker 5: not going to work. And after something has already worked,
• 43:30
  Speaker 5: there is no point of following it. You're already second
• 43:33
  Speaker 5: or third or fourth in their full line, and you
• 43:36
  Speaker 5: don't have the novelty factors anymore. It's only the first
• 43:40
  Speaker 5: movers who get all of that credit. And I think
• 43:43
  Speaker 5: rather than getting into all of those issues of you know,
• 43:48
  Speaker 5: numbers and charts and this and that. I mean, of course,
• 43:52
  Speaker 5: if you want you if your song does well organically
• 43:57
  Speaker 5: and without manufacturing numbers on it, very good, go for it. Yeah,
• 44:02
  Speaker 5: But if it doesn't, I don't think it's worth it
• 44:04
  Speaker 5: to kill yourself for it.
• 44:06
  Speaker 9: That.
• 44:06
  Speaker 5: Oh I must make a song that is commercially successful,
• 44:10
  Speaker 5: and you know all of that because all of that
• 44:13
  Speaker 5: handfully for people like us. Bollywood is already taking care
• 44:17
  Speaker 5: of that. Yeah, I will. I want to do independent
• 44:20
  Speaker 5: music for my own piece and just happiness, that's all.
• 44:26
  Speaker 7: I love it, love it, love it, love it, mother Bante.
• 44:31
  Speaker 7: This was as much fun as I had hoped it
• 44:33
  Speaker 7: would be as much fun as I thought it would be.
• 44:36
  Speaker 7: This was great talking to you. I wanted to thank
• 44:38
  Speaker 7: you so much for spending time with us today on
• 44:41
  Speaker 7: the bridge. Wishing you all the best, of course, and
• 44:44
  Speaker 7: we can't wait to see you here in the US
• 44:45
  Speaker 7: when you're coming next I.
• 44:48
  Speaker 5: Will be there next year, okay, and for sure I'm
• 44:52
  Speaker 5: going to see you.
• 44:53
  Speaker 7: Can't wait, can't wait. We would love for you to
• 44:58
  Speaker 7: introduce this song for us get out if you don't mind,
• 45:02
  Speaker 7: mother one.
• 45:02
  Speaker 5: Please okay, do you want me to sing a couple
• 45:08
  Speaker 5: of lines?
• 45:09
  Speaker 7: Oh my goodness, if you could do so, we would
• 45:12
  Speaker 7: be honored.
• 45:15
  Speaker 5: What I'll do is that there are two lines that
• 45:19
  Speaker 5: that are not there in the audio version of the song,
• 45:22
  Speaker 5: which are like these two ad lib lines, and then
• 45:26
  Speaker 5: the song goes into the main verse. So I'm gonna
• 45:30
  Speaker 5: sing those two lines. Okay, mm hmmm. One they toka
• 45:38

• 56:35
  Speaker 7: Big shout out to Madubampi Bakhchi for joining us today.
• 56:39
  Speaker 7: To me her voice equal parts elegance and equal parts power.
• 56:45
  Speaker 7: And to understand her, you have to know where she
• 56:48
  Speaker 7: comes from. A remote town some twelve hours by car,
• 56:52
  Speaker 7: I think is what she said from the nearest train station.
• 56:55
  Speaker 5: That's crazy.
• 56:56
  Speaker 7: That distance didn't shrink her, it did the opposite. It
• 57:00
  Speaker 7: left her with a curiosity that never settled, a need
• 57:04
  Speaker 7: to voyage out and find the place her voice is
• 57:07
  Speaker 7: trying to take her. Don't let the elegance fool you
• 57:11
  Speaker 7: into thinking this came easy. Modu Banti understands this business.
• 57:16
  Speaker 7: She knows the world of Bollywood and exactly what kind
• 57:19
  Speaker 7: of space it is. She's never been shy about the
• 57:23
  Speaker 7: work behind it. And you don't clock three billion listens.
• 57:27
  Speaker 7: It's by accident. You're doing something right. She knows the
• 57:31
  Speaker 7: nuances of this competitive world, including the quiet conformist pull
• 57:37
  Speaker 7: of being handed a script and told to sing it.
• 57:41
  Speaker 7: She's a professional, one of the most in demand voices
• 57:44
  Speaker 7: in the entire industry. And yet listen closely, you hear
• 57:48
  Speaker 7: this yearning to be free, free of the constraints, free
• 57:53
  Speaker 7: even of success itself. We tell ourselves that once you've
• 57:57
  Speaker 7: made it, you're finally free. But Modu Banti keeps reaching
• 58:01
  Speaker 7: to move the book ends, and that tells you everything.
• 58:05
  Speaker 7: That's a true artist, because her curiosity has no bounds,
• 58:10
  Speaker 7: and with that curiosity comes discovery, and with a voice
• 58:14
  Speaker 7: like hers, discovery becomes expression. You get the feeling there's
• 58:20
  Speaker 7: another chapter coming beyond everything. She's already done, and we'll
• 58:25
  Speaker 7: be here for it because you'd heard it here on
• 58:28
  Speaker 7: the bridge. Have a great day, everybody. I'll leave you
• 58:32
  Speaker 7: with this song by Simmer and Jodrey. It's called Nate Johanna,
• 58:36
  Speaker 7: I'll see tomorrow.
