I want to ensure that nobody with talent and magic goes unnoticed: Vishal Mishra
Helping out newcomers in the cutthroat industry of entertainment is not something that a lot of people can boast of. But composersinger Vishal Mishra feels that he owes it to himself and his listeners to bring more fresh voices to the forefront and help out struggling artistes from smaller parts of India, to find their voice.
Mishra says that he is keen on discovering new talents from remote parts of our country and make sure that their voices are heard. “All my life, I have seen talented people around me, with no facilities or guidance to make it big in the world of music or entertainment. So, this idea has always lived with me. I get so many videos and covers every day from budding artistes. These are people who have no microphones or live in remote parts of the country and don’t know how to go ahead if they want to be an artiste. And lack of guidance is not the reason which should stop an artiste from expressing himself or herself. So, I thought that this is the right time to extend my music to people that really deserve to be heard. It might or might not do a lot to them, but at least, they will get to know about the process of making music. I totally believe that talent cannot be substituted... it just needs guidance and I want to ensure that nobody with talent and magic goes unnoticed,” says Mishra, who recently composed the Muskurayega India anthem.
Mishra adds that he is completely in sync with his team and they are streamlining the kind of projects that they want to do with fresh artistes “maybe from Kashmir or Sikkim”. “I am working on multiple projects — a lot of originals, film music, or songs that I do for my own YouTube channel. Hopefully, we will be able to do justice to everyone who deserves to be heard,” adds the composer.
Mishra’s latest single Toot Jaayein sung by Nishawn Bhullar and written by Kaushal Kishore has been getting a lot of love from his listeners, and Mishra says that he wanted to make a song about the universal feeling and pain of moving on from a relationship. “I have always felt that moving on is the hardest part of a relationship. The song talks about an experience that everyone has of moving on after a relationship ends. I am so glad that people are loving the song. This is a very Indian song and as an artiste, it is very important for me to make songs that get the Indianness out of me,” he concludes.
