In this interview, Punjabi singer, Lyricist, and Composer VRanjha talks about his musical journey, his struggles and influences, and future projects.
Q1. Your songs seems to bear a very unique stamp. Tell us about your origins as well as the inspiration behind your music?
Right from a very young age, I used to listen to artists from all across the globe. I never imagined that I would become an artist one day. It merely started as a hobby. When I was in college, there was already a strong underground rap scene there. I remember Bohemia started hip-hop in India and people were just going crazy about it. So I started making beats for the underground artists as a means to make some pocket money. Once people started appreciating my work as an amateur it gave me the confidence to take it up as a career.
Q2. What kind of challenges did you have to face during your early days as an underground artist?
The thing is that people wouldn’t accept you until you do some really good work. The moment you are able to raise the bar to a point where your work starts influencing people you start getting noticed as an artist. The biggest challenge was to overcome the initial failures. Many singers lose hope after initial failure, my suggestion to them is to focus on your work keep evolving as per the current trend, never lay your weapons down. One day you will succeed for sure.
