Read more Sadasivan KM Nambisan better known as Saduis a singer, composer, lyricist and producer andfounding member of The Aryans one of the biggest indie rock bands India has produced.He learnt western classical piano under keyboardist V C Varghese and Hindustani classical vocals under Pandit Brijmohan Dixit. He got his first opportunity to play keyboard at the age of 19, with an orchestra at the local Durga Pooja festival. Sadu then went on to play in a several orchestras before starting to play professionally with the Sargam Musical Group of Madhya Pradesh. In 1998 he along with D J Narain and Jai Walia formed The Aryans. The same year theylaunched their first album on Polygram Records.Ankhon Mein Tera Hi Chehra became a super hit and they have never looked back since. Here Sadu talks to RagatoRock about his eventful journey and passion for music. Tell us something about yourself. My name is Sadasivan KM Nambisan but professionally I am known asSADU. I was born on 7th September in Kerala, till I was a teenager I grew up in Ooty, and later on in Madhya Pradesh since my Dad was with the defense services, he was transferred regularly. My academic qualification is Master of Science in Organic Chemistry with specialization in Environment science, I am a half scientist. Also in sports I have clocked 10.69 seconds in 100 meter sprint and won bronze medal in the all India inter university championships. Then finally I shifted to Mumbai to pursue Music. When did you get interested in music? I started of my music career in a small town with an orchestra group but was keen in making my own songs hence shifted to Mumbai in 1996 and met DJ Narain Jai Walia to form Aryans . Universal Music formerly known as PolyGram launched us with our first sound track album for the movie, Ankhon Mein Tera Hi Chehra starring Shahid Kapur, which was an instant Hit in 1999. Then followed Yeh Hawa Kehti Hai Kya in 2000 Dekha Hai Teri Ankhon Ko in 2003, all blockbusters, andthen poured in extravaganza of awards - MTV, Channel V, B4U, ETC and what not.. We then grabbed lots of concerts all over the Globe. Me and DJ released Hai Dil with Times Music Kehta Hai Dil Yahi bar Bar with T-Series in the year 2006 and 2009 respectively. They did Ok but then we had our own commitments too. Is that when you decided to go solo? I own a Pharmaceutical Company namedSaduPharma, Time passed by we kept on doing concerts. Then I released my first solo of two Ghazal-Rock singles with Times Music in 2015. It did pretty well, the music was an amalgamation of guitar, drums ghazal written by Jigar Muradabadi. I started a video production company Seventh Angle Production and later on SaduMusic, the Music Company which is specifically and only for Independent Music Releases. I am a Singer, Composer Lyricist and its easy for me to produce songs. My production is in full swing. I am planning to release 10 to 15 Solo Pop-Rock mesmerizing and amazing singles every year. To start with am releasing 2 singles in 2019 under my music label. What do you think of the independent music scene in India? Indian music scene is quite dim, I mean music should not be imposed on you. For the last 70 years we have been strictly forced to listen to film songs. All through the years the ways and means of music exposure and platforms to exhibit or showcase any kind music was either radio or television, which were primarily dominated by playing film songs. Indian audiences have been deprived of exposure to the wide spectrum of music which could have been commercially viable. In fact the Indian flavour and essence of musiclike folk, sufi, classical spiritual music is not getting the recognition it deserves. The British left us decades ago but unfortunately we Indians are carrying the hangover of still being slaves mentally and accept everything weve being served. Why has India not produced any great independent artistes, compared to the West where music is propelled by musicians and bands? Talking about Rock and pop stars of the west look at Bryan Adams, Dire Straits, Queen, Eagles, The Beatles, Michael Jackson, Madonna, George Michael, John Bon Jovi, what tremendous attitude they have in their songs. India saw a few bands and artists with attitude in the late nineties and early 2000, Lucky Ali, Silk Route, us The Aryans, Euphoria, Parikrama , Falguni Pathak, Daler Mehdi, Sukhbir, Ali Haider, Nazia Hassan are few names who started and created new west kind trend of pop-rock culture in India but faded out getting over shadowed by film music. What are your views on cover and DJ versions of popular hits? People climb on cloud nine and glorify themselves when they do an elegantly safe job COVER of an already hit song again. Plagiarism, brother its a copy. Singing an old song out of passion in a bathroom is fine but any commercial usage leads to a challenge and disrespect to the original creation and creator. I will definitely call them spineless, thats the reason I started off this paragraph with people and not singers. Its as if you are putting your name plate on somebody elses home. Dressing up to the best and shooting a music video of a copied song shows how desperate they are to achieve temporary success. These shortcomings never stay for long. I always say 10 claps for your own song is way better than ten thousand claps for a cover song. Sing and enjoy your own song. According to me if you cant create music you should Quit, you should do a job elsewhere. It seems that is what people want, so what then is the way forward? I should say Indians are possessed and obsessed by films and its songs. Theres more in store. Its high time to overthrow the prejudices made by few individuals of riding films on songs, unaware of the later consequences on the original music. Its unfortunate that lot of independent musicians have not been recognized and given worth as they deserve, avenues and careers of lots of musicians have been shattered by this trend in the last few decades. I would request all aspiring young musicians of India to come out in full bloom with their original music whatever genre it may be - instrumental, folk, songs, ghazals, plays, qawwali, bhajans, rock, pop and let the world know you. What are independent artistes doing about this and will it really make a difference? I do know a few upcoming artists with immense talent who are swimming against this worse tide and fighting the whirlwind, good luck and God be with them, I am optimistic and anticipate a great lot of change in Indian Independent Music. I also expect that the audience realizes, accepts and chooses independent music as mainstream music and not film songs. What is your advice to young and upcoming artistes? Now since its digital music all over, there are more options to showcase and sell your music I invite all good talents on floor. My advice to youngsters is to not make music on demand or for others, make your music with passion without any restrictions for yourself and enjoy it, the world will enjoy with you. Make your own way and do not flow with the river. Never make or do music for bread and butter. Till the end of this planet music will be created and heard but the spine and Essence is simple melody and nice lyrics.

Read more One of Indias leading guitarists, Shitalchandra Kulkarni is the front man of renowned rock band, Tungstn and brand ambassador for Ibanez Guitars. Over the past three decades he has been a composer, producer, performer and teacher with body of work including live gigs, albums and various projects ranging from personal, to festivals, films and corporate events. He recently released his first solo album titled, Endless, which is a bold departure from the conventional in that it is a completely instrumental one. It is also a testament of Shitals self confidence and belief in his ability to hold the interest of his fans and audience. Shital picked up his first guitar at the age of five and fell in love with the instrument and over the years his favourite guitar has been Ibanez. His first band Tallfathins won the all India Live Wire band contest at the IIT Mumbai Festival in 1990 and his second band Tungsten, later Tungstn with trimmed lineup, brought out two albums the first a self titled double album and the second titled, Jumpstart. Shitalchandra is an ex music faculty at Flame University and he also runs the Institute of Modern Music, which was founded by his father Suhaaschandra Kulkarni a well known accordionist, back in 1965. He set up his own studio, Chords India, in the early 90s and worked on over 400 commercial titles but for some years now he has been using it for only his personal projects. Here Shitalchandra Kulkarni talks to Ragatorock in this indepth interview, about his passion for the guitar, the independent music scene and his musical journey through the past three decades. When did you decide to be a Musician? IfI have to go way back, I started learning the guitar whenI was in 5th standard, performing for school gatherings, competitions, imitating label songs was my first ladder, that whichI continued for few years and this initial learning, studying, progressing years gave me an insight thatI am meant to be full time in music- in all departments. Tell us of your style of Guitar playing? Your favorite Guitar players influences in your music? Guitar, as an instrument has various styles and has been improvised by various players. Imitating is fine initially, but finally the player grows only when he imitates himself and thats exactly what I have tried to do over the years. Trying to imitate what plays in my head and unfortunately after playing for decadesI have still not being able toachieve that. But yes like all guitarists I do have my influences which start way back from my school time. Tell us about your latest Album? Its a new thoughtI feel of replacing vocal by instrumental notes and improvisation. Every track is shaped with a fixed composition with a canvas of production giving the listeners a surprise elementseverytime they listen. Every track has been thought with some context keeping a certain vision and emotion in mind. For example - Super Ride talks about a drive , about askilful ride, The entire albums composition, production, sound design, and playing is done by me taking the support of my two ace engineers Mr. GauravKorgaonkar for music synthesis and Mr. ShridharDeshpande whorecorded all guitars and mixed the album. The albumwas mastered by Mr. San Page at Page Productions. The entire album is recorded and mixed in my studios - ChordsIndia, Pune. ENDLESS is an album which will redefine instrumental music and people who evendont listen to instrumental music or guitar oriented music can also enjoy this project. Why did you want to make an instrumental album? I was always vocal composition oriented person, right from the beginning of my career,I always did vocal music where guitar played the role ofaccompaniment butparallellyI always thought that the wayI handled my instrument,I could do more than just the supportive role. Instrumental music, instrumental pieces, colouring the pieces or the solos was always myparallel musicianship, that made me write lot of instrumental germs asscratches which eventuallyI have produced them to some extent in ENDLESS. I always wanted to do an instrumental act whereI could get the freedom of play but discipline of composition and that was my main drive to do instrumental project. While being a full time musician how did you manage all your other activities? Well thats a good question because managing domestic and professional life is always a challenge ThoughI am full time into musicI always worked for myself and on four fronts,Teaching, Studio work,Music Faculty at FLAME UNIVERSITY, andPersonal projects. Finding time, making time, giving priority, forming an Agenda, financial aspects and food, to creativity doing a balance of all this, is always tough. Still sinceI call myself aprofessional musicianI have always tried to streamline all my musical responsibilitiesbacked-up with musical academics and my personal life too. Sure...not thatI was 100% successful, but yes with few highs and lows. Tell us about your studio and institute? My Studio - CHORDS INDIA is basically designed and equipped now to do my home productions and my home work.I started my studio way back in the early 90s and did commercial work for more than 400 titles till 2007 and since then this Studio is used only for my work. My studio is equipped with a lot of Analog and Digital and DAWsystems to see to thatI can capture the sound which sounds right to my ears. Share yourjourney from Tungztn days? What do you think of the independent music scene in India? Hobby is different but settlement and getting repaid for your passion and fire is different. Until and unless people and powersrecognize the need to display the skills of independent artist in the coming years, the acceptance is not going to build and in turn give it a status of an industry. What is your advice to young and upcoming artistes? Where do you see yourself 10 years from now? Read more One of the Indias foremost guitarists and ardent supporter of independent music, Claver Menezes recently released his latest album, Diverse Delusions, featuring various singers from all over the country, giving it as the title suggests, a diverse and eclectic musical experience. He started his record label Hangar Records in 2000, to as he says, keep rock music alive. In 2001 released an instrumental album, The Unborn Recital, on which he brought together some of the best guitarists in the country. In 2002 he came out with his next album, Screwed which featured songs by some of the best bands in India. Rust Angels disbanded in 2004 and Claver set up his own studio to concentrate on his solo projects and in 2005 scored the music for the film, Sacred Evil. In 2008 he formed the band Zedde, playing numerous gigs and shows across the country. Claver released his first solo instrumental albums Crooked Ways I II in 2018. Here Claver Menezes talks to Ragatorock about his musical journey. Tell us something about yourself. Zedde came to existence in 2008, which was one of the popular bands I was with. We made a lot of original music together and we saw great appreciation for it. Our song Mumbai won the prestigious Anthem of the Year title at the worlds largest indie music awards: AVIMA 2010. The video for the song frequented all popular music channels, including VH1 and MTV India, and climbed to #1 on the YouTube India charts within 24 hours of upload. The Best Band atArtistAloud.comAwards 2010 and the regional championship at the Hard Rock Rising 2012 challenge followed. As part of Hard Rock Rising 2012, Zedde made it to the top 10 from amongst 12,000 bands worldwide. When did you decide to be a Musician?

While being a musician you were also a working professional, how did you manage to do both? Tell us about Hangar Records? the whole journey? The very same year Hangar Records recorded and released another album, a non-instrumental this time, called Screwed which other than my own band Rust Angels featured other rock bands Zero, Sceptre, Thor, Fate, Psychomotor, Kinky Ski Munky, AFS, Freedom, and Morticide. The reason why Hangar Records came into being was to keep rock music alive. What do you think of the independent music scene in India?

The show is called The Circuit this is alive streaming chat show with musical performances by noteworthy musicians hosted by me.
It has a couple of USPs, firstly that it is a live show in the truest sense, cos we are streaming live. Which means there is zero post-production and the entire live switching, editing, lower thirds, show flow, encoding, streaming etc., are all done live. Since its a live show the audience watching can participate, give comments suggestions they are are all attended to, responded to in real time, which raises the presence kicks in the reward algorithms of the internet a lot.
The name came about cos Im a singer music producer with heavy Engineering tech influencesand the insides of my studio looks like a Printed Circuit Board and when the time came to build an IP, I couldnt think of a better name, cos it literally is my circuit of people who are being put out there and they are handpicked based on merit only. Also it spins into pop culture references such as Pop Circuit, Rock Circuit, Indie Circuit, Bolly Circuit, Short Circuit, Off Circuit etc.
This was originally conceived as a 24 minute episodic content of 7 songs where each episode would have an original composition of mine, produced by writers, musicians, arrangers producerswho are better than me the initial20 minutes of each of these episodes would be interviews by the several artists, lyricists, musicians, music producers, sound, recording mix engineers who have helped, write, put together, arrange, record, capture, produce,mix deliver a master to these songs. The last 4 minutes of each of these episodes would be a live performance by an in house live band of the same song. I pitched the same to Harman Professional Solutions of whom I am an endorserand they wonderfully supported came on board as the chief sponsor provided all the record, capture playback gear for the same. Several other partners have joined in, namely Musikshack who came on board as the instrument partner, Desi Tortillas Sagar -The family Treat as our snack food partner.
While putting this together I realised that just putting these 7 songs just like that on the internet would not create a ripple loud enough hence decided to produce the current live streaming episodes of guests performing their songs with interviews as a prequel to build up the property to a sizeable number of episodes and then drop these 7 episodes with my songs as the hero content of theseason finale
These are all artists who I have a personalconnect with and most of them are from my Indi-Pop batch from the 90s and just the welcoming nature with which they have agreed to grace us with their presence has been the best part about each of them. Weve had multi-intrumentalist, Sidd Coutto, ace guitarist Chandresh Kudwa, Indie baritone benchmark act,Anand Bhaskar Collective, ultra talented Raman Mahadevan, mademoiselle Shibani Kashyap so far several other beautiful artists lined up for Season 1.
Producing this has been a lifetime of my studying, learning understanding of all my engineering, conceiving, conjuring production skills coming together. They have all been tapped into put together to produce what I believe has the potential to be a very unique interesting show. This series has the backing of a highly efficient talented crew comprising of an Executive Producer team, iDreamzzs, who does the live switching/editing, streaming, encoding etc, along with my live sound engineer Sigmind Quadros, who does the live mix, ensures top notch audio quality to the stream makes sure that the tech riders of each of these artists are met with all the gear and instruments provided by our partners. Also 2 young musicians producers Nischal Chaubey Adrian Fernandez who don the roles of tech assistants are the hands and legs of this show without whom the show would just not work. Just the research, trial error execution required for such a show has been so rewarding that we all thrive in the knowledge share the DIY nature of it. Our main sponsor is Harman Professional solutions
Everything about the show has been a huge learning curve. I had to take a call on whether to use the sponsorship monies towards hiring the right equipment a professional crew needed to pull this off or to buy the gear and learn how to do a #LiveConcertStream with a skeletal crew myself as the former had no direct advantage except the launch of 7 songs for me.
I consciously chose the latter which meant researching, learning figuring how to do everything right from lighting, camera work, switching, encoding, streaming on my own and then figuring a crew which would learn to do this with me work through the trial error. We finally bought all the equipment including lights, stands, chroma, cameras, switcher, encoder etc., fixed my studio space into a shooting floor with all the audio video treatment needed. Then we created a design, look, feel, tone the content needed to produce a show of this nature with this crew along with paid consultationsfrom experts around the world who do such shows. I spent 3 months scouring the internet figuring compatibility, requesting demos, commissioning buying the right equipmentwith zero tolerance error cos the budget restrictions meant that I couldnt afford to buy the wrong gear. The hard work paid off I have put together a unique show which could become a way of life with me henceforth right now I could give a master class in streaming anything!
My influences for the same are PhotoJoseph, Snarky Puppy, Sofar Sounds, Cercle locally our very own Coke studio. All in all its been a very rewarding experience and the very fact that in 9 episodes with 3 of them being completely trial error ones, we have managed to pull off what generally takes an entire television network and channel to figure, Id say we are in a good space right now with the merits far outweighing the difficulties!
The response to the show is amazing. All our partners are very happy with the visibilityand the interaction is top notch. Subscriptions have gone up on my channel and the comments keep us going and the best part about the internet is that anything you plant there, grows!
Season 2 will see us going into product placements and endorsements and an upgrade into the content where Ill be calling singers, musicians, artists to guest collaborate with me on an original composition of mine which they will perform live with me the in house band. This I believewill be the turning point of this property and if all goes well I see myself producing original Indie content and becoming a force to reckon with in the music field as a composer, producer artiste.
I would love to be filling in the Joe Rogan, Jimmy Fallon space in our country with an extension of The Circuit, currently on Thurdays to an alternative Celebrity Circuit on Wednesdays and also Circuitry featuring DJs Live Electronica artists on Fridays. Given that I have had first hand experience of working with Shekhar Suman on Movers Shakers ( Sony Entertainment Television) for the same, I hope pray all that experience comes in handy!
This whole program has been conceived to release one original song, every week, constituting albums of work eventually boosting the Live stage gigs which Im prolific for. I met Prasoon Joshi on a flight who remarked that in India one has to constantly churn to be relevant. It is true for himself, Javed Sahab, even Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy A.R. Rahman. Therefore I believeI have produced a platform which lets one churn at the economic efficient best of oneself. I look forward to associating and acquiring more business partners onto this IP. Here on it is all upto the almighty. Praise the Lord!
Its alright, no more pretending.
Just ride without no worries
Its alright, dont hide.....
Just free yourself and let it dance....
Trance Effect, theIndie Pop Rock band from Nagaland takes us on a nostalgic journey through their music.They want to use their music to spread the message of positivity and overcome the hard times that people,specially the younger generation are going through with their music.Music really can heal the soul. We meet up with Trance Effect to know more about the members and their music
We are a band from Nagaland. On Vocals, we have our dynamic and compelling performer Iuli Yeptho. Sosang Lkr on Drums, a quiet but an expressive player who never fail to capture the right beat at the right time. Temsujungba on guitars, the bigger than life character and an outstanding showman.Tako Chang on Guitars, his unique approach to music sets him apart, drawing more into melodies and catchy riffs. Imnamaong Imchen on Bass Guitars, with his experience for performing life music and minimal playing adds just the right amount of colour to make the audience groove into the music.It was in fact our bassist who came up with the idea of the band. He was keen on making music in a band and sounding like no other,but honestly its because we came together to make music that all of us enjoy- I guess you could call that our secret ingredient.
Can you name the Biggest influences of the band. What inspired you guys?
We are influenced and inspired every time when we see a great live performance. It was the love to perform live music and create music that drew us into forming the band, it motivates us into putting in the hours until we get the music straight. We grew up watching our local artists and bands perform, theyve had quite an impact to all of us.
Well,we would describe our sound as somewhat of a melodic approach to the Indie genre of music. Were all from different musical background and genre but the love to create beautiful melodic music brought us together.
Well, we wanted a name that would set a difference to the music scene in the country, thats why the name Trance Effect, which is a more melodic off shoot from Techno or House music is what drives our music even though we dont have a DJ in the band. So, we named the band Trance Effect.
Well,so far weve had a few gigs and played at festivals like Orange Festival in Dambuk, The Drift Music Festival in Guwahati but yes every gigs would be considered as the best because of all the different venues and different crowds. It helps us to make a beautiful story of our musical journey.
The song was written by our vocalist and it talks about the struggles and hardships a person faces in life. It talks about trying to Stop Pretending to be something one is not and to have a positive view on life. Well if you guys havent listened to the song then you can just stream it from all the steaming platforms like Apple Music, JioSaavn, YouTube etc
Were working on our EP right now and yes Hopefully, we may have it completed by the end of this year and also a music video along with it.
Jaag is an edgy and hypnotic songabout women empowerment,that revolves around awakening ones resolve for independence, breaking the shackles of misogyny and appeals to the listeners to move forward without being tied down by age-old customs and norms.I havereleased 4 Remix versions of my single Jaag, the remixes have been produced by world famous EDM Producers like DJPodje from Ireland of4SuMotion, he has produced the Vocal Dub Mix. The 3rd remix has been produced byUKDJProducer Juttlaand the final track is also produced byUK based Kaya Project.They have done a fantastic job on the remixes.
To me basic core of humanity is understanding and respect. All my Music videos have a message for women about her Power, Strength, Belief, Struggles and Guidance, who continues to fight for her rights through peace, understanding and knowledge.and that is what I am trying to spread to the world.
My mother is my inspiration,she trainedunderNaushadsaabandEmdad Khan Sarangiwala.Asshewas not allowed to pursuemusic asacareer, it was passed on to me!My motheralso writesGhazals asa hobby, she haspenned two of my tracks Laila and Jhoom Jhoomon my debut album.

A.R.Rahman was a littleshy but a wonderful person to work with, we had some great laughs. Above all great respect goes out to our legendary big beats man Liam Howlett,when recording my vocals forSmack My Bitch upit was truly exceptional.
You made me smile,I guess the chanton Smack My Bitch Uphas left its mark in thehistory of EDM music. A great honour tobe associated withTheProdigy.Attheirconcerts, to hear the fans sing along tothe chant with such devotion is unbelievable, used to brings tears to my eyes.TheProdigy fans around the world are No.1 andI love their humility and crazy energy!
It just does not feel the same withoutKeith Flint. May his soul rest in peace.

My vocals featured on the track, Dol Dol on Mani Ratnamsfilm Yuva and I also delivered alaap chants on the back ground score of the film Zubeida.

Would love to continue with my travels around the world, meet beautiful people who will keep enriching my life with their knowledge of grace and kindness. Rest we hope,depends on the Almightys Good Will.
From there on Anushka moved on to playback singing, first in South films under music directorYuvan Shankar Rajaand then on to Bollywood with leading Music Directors like Vishal-Shekhar, Sandeep Chowta, Anu Malik, Eshaan-Shankar-Loy, Salim-Sulaiman to name a few.She was is now blazing a new path in her new avatar and it is everything she stands for.
I am an evolving artist, refusing to be put in a box. Being a singer, an actor, a producer, a director, an editor..these are all different vehicles of my expression. In this moment, I am proud to be one of the voices of India, out on the street with my brothers and sisters, working hard to protect everything my country stands for.
I got irritated at having to depend on other technicians to create what was in my head. So I took a music production course. IncInk is the lovechild of Navzar Eranee, the seed of which was sown when we all gained access to some of the best talent in the country, through a project we were working on. No, I am not a stake holder.
Nuka is who I really am. An artist producing art without any adulteration or censorship. With Anushka Manchanda I have done work for years on films and projects with other people. I wanted to separate the two, only to make it easier for people looking for the art or music I am making now.
I think in english and I write best in english too. I play piano.
I say pretty much everything I am feeling in the song! There is so much apathy, and things have been bad for a long time..but today I feel a new ray of hope. The youth is out on the streets. People are listening. This song is meant for those still sitting on the fence. We need you. And we need you now!
This song is being sung to people like you and me. Its for us to take responsibility. If we sit back and let all of this stuff happen to us and the people around us..then are we any better than the ones causing this?
Im not politically motivated, never have been, although I am paying more attention to whats happening in the country today.
I have a track Ive produced for Kaam Bhaari which you will hear soon.
I had a musicalbackgroundandI came from a musical family. My father is a professional musician. His principal instrument is Accordion, and music was always in the family, and from the timeI started understanding thatI am completely drawn towards creativity and playing, music is whatI decidedI want to dedicate my life to.
It is very difficult to selfanalyze my playing,I have never done that,I always followed my instincts andspontaneity than the technique butof courseI tried to polish my skills and playing techniques, and handling the instruments from the sound perspective is of utmost importance to me, and the way it is heard.
To name a few,Ritchie Blackmore,Eddie van Halen, Paul Gilbert, Steve Vai, Steve Lukathuar, R.D.Burman, Yanni to name a few.
My new project, a instrumental guitar album is called ENDLESS.This album is going to be released bysongdew.comin three parts over the next one year. The first part consisting of six tracks has just been released last month.
Dark Street- talks about anxiety to fear to rise,
Run For Cover- talks about speed and chase,
Water- differentexpressions of water in classical manner,
Take Me Through- Chemistry between guitar and EDM,
Beat The Heat- Full on groovy and rock and roll.

It was a combination of struggle and party time for about more than 15 years. We released our debut twin album called TUNGZSTEN in 2000, followed by multipleconcerts, serious ups and downs, change of line ups, change ofthought and pattern of music till 2007. In 2007 renamed the band as - TUNGZTN with a trimmed tight trio line up. Worked on new material for the next 2 years, followed by 2 more years recording thematerial in the studios released the album - JUMPSTART in 2013 and disbanded in December 2015, before releasing our firstHindi single SOCHNA MANA HAI. This was the story of Tungztn with a span of 15 years, in short.
If you ask me, independent music, indie artist or bands have always been through their struggle and tough times to show their existence. Its been a debate over the years that the so called Independent music scene is improving, is promising, is more engaging but according to meI really never understood all this because except the few artist here and there most of the artist had a rough ride and tried hard for the ends to meet, because other thanBollywood Music Industry there is no other revenue building music industry which gives a concrete platform to display skills and art and compositions which can be a mode of survival.
Imitation is ok to begin with but be yourself and get married to your own emotions and skills to display your creativity.
Moresettled, more watched, more heard, more followed, more earned...hahahopefully to see a biggerrecognizedIndian independent music industry.
Comprising of 19 tracks, it has some of the most illustrious singers featured on each track including Sherrin Varghese, Suzanne DMello, Uday Iyer, Sidd Coutto, Gary Lawyer, Temeer Chimulkar, Sujit Kumar, Ashwini Torvi, SiDD, Shawn Pereira, Nitish Roque Pires, Christina Andrew, Sukhbir Kalsi, Neha Gandhi, Riyaz Qadir, and others.
Claver took up the guitar when he was twelve and a years time started performing on stage. He was just 14 when he formed his own band Rust Angels in 1992. Rust Angels performed in various college shows, gaining in popularity and reached the Live Wire finals at the IIT Mumbai Mood Indigo Festival in 1993. He was highly influenced byJoe Satriani and soon came to be recognized as one of the top rock guitarists in Mumbai, for his distinctive style and speed on the fret board.
I formed my own rock band Rust Angels in 1991 practicing and playing cover versions of Iron Maiden, Scorpions, Metallica, Megadeth, Wasp, Anthrax and many more. The band gained in popularity and attained prominence among the young college-going crowd. We performed at rock shows across colleges and also entered the finals of Live Wire (IIT, Mood Indigo) the next in 1992.
There wasnt a particular event or a eureka moment for it. My entire family was into music, and that already gave me a taste and music came to me naturally.
Joe Satrianis style of music has been the most significant influences in my style. Every good song influences me. I love 21 pilots and how with just 2 people they create magic on stage.
I have been wanting to make this collaborative album for a really long time now. Putting out 19 songs in one album took a lot of efforts, but now I take a sigh of that sweet sweet relief and happiness. The album is essentially me collaborating with various singers. Each singer brings in his/her quirks in their songs. Of course you could go listen to them on all music streaming platforms.
During the day I used to go to the office do my regular day job, and during the nights is when I used to work on the album, and of course the weekends were entirely dedicated for this as well.
I started a recording label called Hangar Records, and brought together the top guitarists of the country in 2001 for an instrumental album, The Unborn Recital (FOK II) and a video featuring all the guitarists were also produced and released. The participating guitarists in the album were Lil Finger, Ravi Iyer, Sarosh Izedyar, Paresh Kamat, Dhruv Ghanekar, Warren Mendonca, Suri Sequiera, Chandresh Kudwa, Edwin Fernandes, Sushil, and Randolph Correia.
I see a lot of music festivals happening in India but I hardly see any indie rock bands playing anymore. It only disheartens me to see no independent rock musicians being pushed on any of these platforms. I see a lot of heavy rock music or pop rock playing these days but nothing which can be considered as the middle ground of these two sub sects.
In the West music is their job, where they are paid handsomely for their music / performances. Whereas in India, rock musicians are paid peanuts or worse, not paid at all. So they either give up or they start playing for Hindi film industry.
Do your undergrad in whatever interests you and then do an MBA. Hahahaha.
