MUSICIANS’ WISH LIST

This World Music Day, musicians wish for things that will make the Indian music industry a better place to work in. Here’s what they have to say... NEHA BHASIN, VAYU,

Songs: Dhunki (Mere Brother Ki Dulhan), Kuch Khaas Hai (Fashion) I would like non-film music to gain monetary benefit so that musicians aren’t dependant solely on hit film songs. An artist must have the independence to sing, according to his own expression and not wait for validation of an industry that has its own structure. associate music with films. But the resurgence of independent music is one of the many prominent changes that I'd like to see. I would also want more female oriented songs and female composers in films. Songs: Banno Tera Swagger (Tanu weds Manu 2) Beat pe Booty (Flying Jatt) I wish that the music market becomes more willing to explore different genres. We seem to focus on a very limited range of music at one time. The change has begun, but now it has to pick up pace.
