00:00Nikita Ji, first of all, welcome to I.S.
00:03And Nikita Ji, first of all, you know that your recent track,
00:06Too He Dizda, is so soulful.
00:08So, what was the inspiration behind this song,
00:11and how do you relate it personally?
00:16Inspiration was a film, a scene, a love.
00:19Of course, love is the inspiration for Too He Dizda.
00:23And I am very happy to be part of this song,
00:26how much love the song is.
00:27And I am very happy that this combination is still there,
00:32Arijit and Dad and my dad.
00:34Because we all have very loved songs in the past.
00:39And this is the same song.
00:42The romantic song has changed a lot.
00:45How do you stand out for this song?
00:51This song is a special that the melody is,
00:55It is very Indian and it has a very deep flavor, but the arrangement, I am a piano track, has
01:04a good blend of Indian romantic song with a modern love type of flavor.
01:13I think it is a perfect example, like a love song for Gen Z.
01:24Your journey from Bollywood is very diverse, which is the most challenging and transformative?
01:49I am a singer, then Telugu, then Bollywood.
01:55After that, I started my indie career.
01:59It is a very cool journey.
02:02I am a singer, because I am not a singer, as I am a singer.
02:07I am a singer with my heart and love.
02:09I enjoy my career.
02:13You have read the rapta and the rapta and the hit songs.
02:16Do you consciously experiment with the genres or play with the flow?
02:20I play with the flow.
02:22I would like to thank the composers for the genre exploration.
02:27Because I have a chance to explore.
02:28I have a chance to explore.
02:29Because I have a chance to explore.
02:32And I have a chance to get a different genre of songs for songs, scratch or final songs that you
02:37listen to.
02:38And I am very happy and happy because I have a chance to listen to a different genre.
02:46I am a singer saying that you have a chance to watch.
02:47Now, you have a chance to see the play back.
02:49I have a chance to play back.
02:50Well, how do you maintain your individuality?
02:55How do I maintain your individuality?
02:55I mean, behind that, there is no idea of that.
02:59I can maintain the individuality.
03:01I can maintain the individuality.
03:02I can maintain it or not.
03:05And I don't think about the competition.
03:08Because it is an art form.
03:10The songs are songs.
03:11And I know your songs.
03:13How do you quantify it?
03:14how you can do it and you will get the songs that you have to get them because you have
03:21voice quality, singing, all are good singers and the talent of the song is the talent.
03:28So, don't keep attention in competition and work on yourself.
03:33Because in the industry sometimes, I have seen that sometimes there are music composers
03:37or producers or directors, they will play a song with you but in the end, when I finally
03:44release a song, I mean someone has sung a song.
03:49Do you have such a thing?
03:51Yes, it has happened. It has happened a lot in the beginning.
03:56I have sung a lot of scratches.
03:59And I have heard of someone's voice.
04:02And now it is a work.
04:04It is a good thing.
04:06It is my reputation as a singer.
04:10It is a brand value as an artist.
04:12And people like me.
04:16This is a growth.
04:18It is a journey that you have to learn how many songs and music.
04:22Then people get a passion for that artist.
04:25So, it is a journey with each artist.
04:28Do you think as a struggling singer, this is a common thing?
04:34I think I should tell you that you are a scratch.
04:39Which I mostly tell you that you are a scratch.
04:41Then you don't go to that expectation that this is my song.
04:47Because the song is ultimately the composer and the composer.
04:51And you know, you are just singing.
04:55So, if you know that it is a scratch.
04:57So, if you know that it is a scratch.
04:57Then you should move on with that expectation.
04:58And you should move on with that expectation.
05:00In the industry, the recreated and remix trend is a trend.
05:04Yes.
05:05So, as a singer, do you think that it is limited to the creativity?
05:08Or is it a way to reach the new audience?
05:09And you should be able to reach the new audience?
05:10And you should have a choice?
05:12Yes.
05:13So, it is a limit to the original song.
05:18Yes.
05:19Yes.
05:20And you should have a choice.
05:24Yes.
05:25Yes.
05:26Yes.
05:27Yes.
05:27Yes.
05:28Yes.
05:28Yes.
05:28Yes.
05:29Yes.
05:31Yes.
05:33Yes.
05:37Yes.
05:38Yes.
05:41Yes.
05:44It is a surreal song.
05:47None.
05:49Yes.
06:01Yes.
06:04Yes.
06:05Yes.
06:06Yes.
06:06Yes.
06:07Yes.
06:08Yes.
06:08Yes.
06:09and in addition to that, the original songs are made
06:12you also want to make an original song,
06:14you also want to make an original song,
06:16so you can't say that the creativity is in any way.
06:20I think that today,
06:22crazy singers and talented people are coming out today.
06:26Your life concerts are so energetic.
06:30What is your biggest difference in the recording of the live performance?
06:32What is your biggest difference in the recording of the live performance?
06:37The difference is that you get a combined energy in the live performance.
06:45It's very special in the live shows.
06:50Both are very different.
06:52When you show it, it's in the moment.
06:56When you're playing in the studio,
06:59there's a total perfection in that game.
07:02You want to do it in the three times.
07:04Until it doesn't become perfect,
07:06this is a recorded thing.
07:08It will only be a recording eternity for that.
07:11I guess the recording will be given.
07:12You want to do it more than what you play the best.
07:14You do the time, you do the work,
07:15all the things you do are the opposite.
07:17When you're playing at the time,
07:20the moment went and all of you experienced this.
07:33I don't think so. I think there are so many international artists who are also getting tech, tech rider, production,
07:43back-end support.
07:44It means that there is an inventory with us. I think this is also good. I don't think so.
07:54I think it's better.
07:56You've also worked with Ali Ji. How did you collaborate with her? How did you learn something?
08:08Of course, the experience is very good. All of them are mostly great songs.
08:15I think this is a good thing about them.
08:19It means that with simplicity, we only focus on music.
08:27The rest of the pop artists, legends, other aspects, there is no focus on them.
08:37They focus on music, which is a beautiful thing as an artist, which I admire a lot.
08:43And I think this is the coolest thing about Ali Ji Ji.
08:48In today's time, Ali Ji Ji Ji Bench Bump.
08:51Does this pressure create in singles?
08:54No. Why does it create the pressure?
08:58I think every artist, like I said before, has been a journey.
09:09I don't think there is a pressure.
09:12In fact, it is inspirational.
09:16Do you think that in India, in singles, the proper infrastructure, like training, exposure and fair payment system,
09:22does it develop, or is it already strong?
09:26Develop, is it strong, is it also.
09:30But I think I'm…
09:32One good thing that I can say is that
09:35there is a lot of work in this thing.
09:38There are a lot of bodies, communities,
09:41that are building the payment structure and these things.
09:45And to align these things…
09:46Singers, artists and empower singers.
09:50And that will be better.
09:53With the Lawanity and Payment issues, there are too many discussions.
09:57How are your personal experiences?
09:59In a person, a singer said that
10:06The company has gained a lot of crore, so I think the issue of royalty is still happening.
10:16The issue of this issue, I can't comment on this issue.
10:23But I can say that in the last 2-3 years I have seen a lot of change in the
10:31payment structure, in the royalties, and I feel that as a singer you have to participate in all these communities,
10:45so that you can get that help.
10:50I think definitely a lot of improvement in the last 2 years.
10:57Asha Moussin Ji talked about, Asha Moussin Ji is not a singer.
11:01He has given so much to the industry.
11:03If you are inspired by today's legacy, how do you influence today's legacy?
11:10I am a very big fan of them.
11:13I always relate to their trajectory and their singing career.
11:21I have also been a versatile singer.
11:25I am very happy to learn so much about their journey.
11:30Of course, we are very sad that they are not with us now.
11:34But they have done so much work and given this industry.
11:40Their legacy will always remain for us.
11:43And definitely, we will be influenced by their music and journey.
11:49My first remake was their song.
11:51The Rath Baqi.
11:53The Rath Baqi.
11:55The Rath Baqi.
12:01The Rath Baqi.
12:03The Rath Baqi.
12:04The King and The Rath Baqui.
12:13So, pretty good.
12:14A beautiful singer.
12:15Have you ever talked about songs or other passwords?
12:20Yeah, that's the issue around the world.
12:27How many of their music have been in your future?
12:30The Rath rolingskles are performed directly?
12:37I don't have a school of thought because it's an internal thing for an artist when we are in our
12:45fraternity.
12:50Of course, I want to do this because I can relate to their journey.
12:55But I will do this later when I think it's the right time.
13:02Lastly, what do you want to give a message?
13:32Thank you so much.
