Maahi talks about how he deals with comparisons with father Shaan
The son of acclaimed singer Shaan has come up with his single, "Jaan Se Zyada". Released on Friday, he is accompanied by Aadhya Anand in the music video. Being the son of such a celebrated singer means carrying the burden of a massive legacy. During an exclusive conversation with IANS, Maahi talked about how he deals with comparison with his father. When asked "If it was a conscious decision to make this song different from Shaan sir's songs", Maahi told IANS, "I think it was not a conscious decision. I believe there is still that identity of - Shaan sir's son. Obviously, I would want to be able to get out of it, I want to be able to make my own name in the industry. Naturally, because of this people tend to draw similarities. But it was never like - I will do this song because I want to get out of this shadow. " "The song is very nice and naturally I ended up adding my own style to it, because of which it felt a little different. But I am sure if dad would have sung it, it would have sounded incredibly gorgeous and in the signature Shaan style that we are used to," he went on to add. Violinist Ambi Subramaniam talks about five things he learnt from his father Dr L Subramaniam Revealing if he ever felt the pressure, Maahi shared, "Dad does not put a lot of pressure on me himself. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Lerchenfeld: Hansaton sucht 250 Testhörer vor 1972 geboren Hansaton Jetzt anmelden Undo But there is an element of carrying forward the legacy, and I think there is a little pressure because of it.

Sharing the track with the netizens, Maahi penned on social media, "The wait's finally over and this one's Jaan Se Zyada beautiful!" The tune for "Jaan Se Zyada" has been scored by the composer duo Zain-Sam with lyrics penned by Rashmi Virag.

‘Bollywood and independent music can co-exist on the same playlist'
Independent music was huge in the 90s and early 2000s with artists like Lucky Ali, Shaan, Alisha Chinai and bands like Silk Route , Indian Ocean, Euphoria giving the genre a centerstage. Then came a period when artistes rushed to playback sing for Bollywood. But the last couple of years have seen that shift once again in favour of indie music. On World Music Day today, artistes weigh on the pros and cons of going independent once again and how Bollywood playback and independent music can now co-exist. Zaeden : If you have a loyal audience, indie music is creatively fulfilling I think people are just craving authenticity right now. Indie music feels more raw, more human. And with music streaming platforms, the audience has access to music that feels theirs, not just something pushed through a movie. As an indie artiste, you're building your own world. The recognition might take longer, but it's yours. And financially, if you have a loyal audience, live shows, brand collabs, deals — it can actually be more sustainable and creatively fulfilling. Kanishk Seth : In indie music, there is no gatekeeping, but Bollywood gives you a bigger reach When digital streaming platforms came in, there was a shift in the way listeners chose songs. Lot of musicians and singers didn't feel the need to get a Bollywood breakthrough, they could release music very easily through these platforms. There is no gatekeeping here. Having said that, songs in Bollywood right now are reaching a massive audience because a lot of money is being put into promoting them. With this, the artiste reaches more people. But while doing independent music, most of them don't have that kind of a budget. OAFF : With independent songs, listeners get to explore variety India always had a huge indie scene. It has come to a point where a Bollywood song and an indie song can co-exist on a playlist. This is because we have democratised music and music platforms give listeners a lot more access to explore sounds. We are also seeing a lot of collab between indie musicians and Bollywood, like I was an independent artiste before I composed music for Gehraiyaan. It's not anymore about indie music or Bollywood music but just about music. Savera: Making music, whether independent or for Bollywood, gives us fulfillment Most musicians make music because it makes them happy. And I don't think indie music or Bollywood music has anything to do with that. Think about it, why would someone spend years of their life relentlessly practising their art? The only answer that makes sense to me is that it gives us a fulfilment that is only felt and can't be described. However, social media is an integral part of indie music. Akanksha Bhandari: Indie music gives you great freedom Lot of artistes from India are collaborating with global artistes and experimenting with different sounds. Today, artistes are happy doing Bollywood, but they are happier releasing independent songs. The satisfaction you get seeing your independent songs get good numbers is amazing. While singing for Bollywood, there are limitations in terms of emotions and sounds since it is for a specific scene. Prakriti Kakar : Playback gives you recognition, indie music gives you identity When I work on an indie track, I get to shape it from the ground up — the melody, the lyrics, the vibe — it's me. It feels like a conversation with our audience, not just a performance. With Bollywood, as much as it's exciting to be part of big films and reach a massive audience, you're essentially stepping into a brief, a character, a situation, someone else's vision. Sukriti Kakar: Gen Z listeners are more drawn to vibes Listeners are more drawn to storytelling by indie artistes and are building a community because of the relatability of these songs. Also, indie artistes aren't tied to commercial formulas and it's easier to build a niche and specially Gen Z listeners are more drawn to moods and vibes than commercial virality. Social media platforms play a big role in the popularity of indie music in India.
