Tanishk Bagchi Opens Up On Difference Between Hollywood And Bollywood

When asked about the difference between Hollywood and Bollywood’s royalty for artists, Tanishk Bagchi said, “Jab Spotify aaya, aur uske baad, mujhe lagta hai ki main pehla artist hoon. Shayad main aur Jasleen, jab Spotify actual mein Shershaah ke saath start hua. Uske baad, Spotify ne ek bada step liya aur independent artists ko market mein laane ki koshish ki, jo ki ek achha step tha. Aap jaane, pehle independent music koi sun raha nahi tha. Jo gaane log sunte the, wo bas Lucky Ali, Silk Route, Euphoria ke the—wohi gaane chalte the.”

He added, “Phir ek-andh-aadh saal mein, yeh badlaav aaya. Aur mujhe lagta hai ki Spotify ne kahin na kahin help ki hai. Lekin fir yeh bhi lag raha tha ki kuch zyada help ho rahi hai. Kyunki fir film industry jo film music tha, wo bhi dominate kar raha tha. Toh ab sab cheezein thodi confused state mein thi, ki independent music achha hai ya film music achha hai. Mujhe lagta hai dono hi achhe hain, dono ka apna jagah hai.”

Continung, he said, “Yeh nahi ho sakta ki bas ek Spotify pe jo gaana number one aaya, woh actual number one hai. Mera maanna hai ki jo Spotify pe number one gaana hai, wo mere kisi dost ki gaadi mein nahi bajta, na phone mein bajta hai. Bas kuch random playlist mein hota hai. Toh main woh rankings follow nahi karta hoon, main bas last mein dekhta hoon, kaun sa hai. Last mein aapko Pritam K ke gaane milenge, ya Rahman K ke gaane milenge, woh accurate hai. Toh yeh jo ek perception build-up hota hai, main usko believe nahi karta.”

Tanishk Bagchi Opens Up On The Lack Of Unity In The Music Industry

When asked about the lack of unity in the music fraternity, Tanishk said, “Industry mein bahut zyada competition hai. Logon mein unity nahi hai, sab apna kaam chhinna chahte hain. Agar koi kisi price par kaam kar raha hai, toh koi uske aadhe price mein kaam kar deta hai. Yeh hamesha hota hai, har jagah hota hai. Yeh koi naya trend nahi hai. Aapko har jagah yeh milega, chahe aap ek individual guitarist ki baat karein, ya independent pianist ki baat karein.”

Concluding, the artist said, “Main bhi yeh nahi bata sakta ki abhi kahan se guitarist ya pianist milega. Lekin agar aap bahar dekhenge, toh wahan Slash jaise guitarist milenge, ya aise log jo har aadmi ka apna ek specific role hota hai. Wahan, guitar ke paas paanch options hote hain, toh kaam karte rehte hain. Yeh jo chal raha hai, yeh purana trend hai, aur yeh abhi bhi chal raha hai. Kabhi yeh thoda change ho, yeh mujhe nahi pata.”
