00:00So welcome to AIS. First thing first I want to know that how was your experience working with dad and
00:06was it just a special conversation with a couple?
00:10So was it intimidating? You know, it was just very normal like a father son.
00:20I think we're blessed that we've worked with dad since we were kids.
00:23So we did shows. When I was five years old, I was a little bit surprised to be featured with
00:30dad's music video.
00:30So for us, it's part of the family culture and the family thing to work together to create art.
00:41It's nervous that we have to keep up to dad's...
00:45It's second nature for us. It's not something you think of. It's in instinct.
00:49And we've always had this relationship where we can talk openly about art and talk openly about what we want
00:55to make.
00:56So in fact, dad is featuring in my album, which I will release in the next two months.
01:03It's an electronic album, which is techno with Indian classical.
01:07So he's very open about everything. So it makes it easier for us to work with him, you know?
01:11Yeah, yeah.
01:12Yeah, yeah.
01:12So you have in both your studio stats in the year, you were raised among the years and many years,
01:19and you were raised among the years, for real cousin Peter and I and I and I, and that will
01:22now you realize that
01:25I must say that but it has changed about the music industry especially in India.
01:29So how do you, you know, the perceived and had changed?
01:34I mean, I think art evolves. If you go to the West, art has evolved. If you go to the
01:41East, art has evolved.
01:43So the beauty of art is that it will change, it will evolve. But the wonderful thing is I feel
01:49Papa has evolved with the art.
01:52Today it's about short-term consumption. It's more about what we do. We keep scrolling Instagram or YouTube Shorts.
02:02Today, the way people consume content has changed, right? But I feel his music, his compositions, the way we design
02:12the tracks, we are acclimatizing to it, but not losing the soul of real music.
02:17Today I want to make a song for six minutes. I'm going to make it. Just because of short-term
02:22consumption, I'm not going to make it two minutes. So that's what I'm saying.
02:32He's an institution? Yeah. He's an institution.
02:35But what is Riyaz, never stop practicing. Never stop practicing. It's simple as that.
02:44I train for two hours a day. Papa trains in the morning. I do singing practice, I do acting training,
02:52I do film training, I do fighting training.
02:54But you have to do what you have to do. Riyaz, what you have to do, Riyaz, which is a
02:57practice. If you do repetition, you will get better at something.
03:01I am programming for seven, eight hours a day in the studio. It's about repetition. It's about giving yourself time.
03:07So Riyaz, Riyaz, Riyaz, that's why he doesn't have to be released.
03:09Can you tell me what happens in the film industry when he also acts after him?
03:14You must have on his nepotato words.
03:15Yes, of course.
03:22Honestly you can be anybody's son but if your song is not good, it's not good.
03:26Also I feel that if you don't sing it, then you won't sing it in your song.
03:33It's universal.
03:37And good music, people understand what good music is and people feel good music.
03:43So I don't think that there's any nepotism line.
03:47I think even in acting, when a good actor comes from a house, a good actor is a good actor.
03:54And that's always going to be the case.
03:56And that's how I feel too about myself as an actor.
03:58I will focus on acting.
04:00It helps where I come from because they taught me what it feels like in this field.
04:08We know what it takes.
04:09So we're happy to give that, you know, pay that price.
04:11And talking about this album, it's universal, the few that you've mentioned, the music
04:17which has been shaped, your music, your music, your music, your music, your music, your music
04:20and your music.
04:22If I ask you in few words or if I ask you real quick, what's the unique quality of this
04:31album
04:31what would you like to say?
04:32It's an album that doesn't stop at touching your soul.
04:38It continues to go forward and makes you reflect on the little things of life.
04:45And I think that we sometimes get caught up in the big things.
04:48And we're so in a rush for all the major milestones that we forget to just spend time thinking
04:55about that one moment that we used to cherish.
04:58So I hope that, you know, when you're listening to these songs that it comes back to that moment
05:02that you've lost those moments and you spend time reflecting.
05:05It will grow on you.
05:06The album will grow on you in terms of the more you listen to it, the more you'll discover
05:10in the songs.
05:12And I think because it's so enriched with quality from Hariji, from the amazing musicians we've
05:20had, the mixing, mastering, the whole process, the video, it adds to the experience of the
05:26song, the album and the whole vibe of what Hariji composes, sings.
05:33So you'll really feel it in this album.
05:39Yeah, that's what I feel.
05:56But most of the reels that do well are emotional based.
06:00Yeah.
06:01Yeah.
06:01A lot of the reels that do well are emotional based.
06:03But I'm happy you're saying it's emotional.
06:05Yeah.
06:05No, but, yeah.
06:07But I take what you're saying as a wonderful compliment.
06:10But I feel that if an artist, an influencer, an artist will make something with a song, he'll
06:18make it.
06:18Yeah.
06:19And you can't, you know, there's no, even there, there is no limitation in art.
06:23So even in your reel, as long as you can transfer the emotion which you want to show in one
06:28minute, if the song has it, if your visual has it, it's fine.
06:36Yeah.
06:38Yeah.
06:38Yeah.
06:38Mm-hmm .
