Hey everyone!

I’ve always dreamed of making music, and this year I finally decided to take it seriously by learning music production. I don’t really know anyone personally who’s into production, so I’m figuring everything out on my own. I also feel like learning production is essential if you want full creative control over your music and the vision behind it.

I’m still a beginner, but I already have a pretty clear sound in my head. I can also write songs, and that’s the part I feel most confident about.
The music I want to make is quite different from what’s traditionally been popular in India. For years, Bollywood dominated the scene, but over the last decade we’ve seen independent music grow a lot, especially hip-hop, and more recently indie pop.

The title is a bit of clickbait 😅 because I don’t want to sound like Drake, The Weeknd, or anyone else. They’re huge inspirations, but my goal is to create my own sound. I think if you’re just copying someone, you’ll always be compared to them instead of becoming your own artist.

The kind of music I want to make is alternative R&B with dark, atmospheric, melodic production—music you’d play on a late-night drive, while chilling alone, or just getting lost in your thoughts. I also love trap and want to explore that lane, but sometimes I wonder if there’s enough audience for it in India. It feels like indie pop is getting a lot more attention here, while trap and melodic rap haven’t reached the level they have in the US.

So I’d genuinely love to hear your thoughts. Do you think there’s space for this kind of music in India? Would you listen to an artist making dark alternative R&B and melodic trap if it felt authentic?

Also, if you’re a producer, songwriter, artist, engineer, or anyone trying to build something in a similar lane, I’d love to connect. It’d be great to meet like-minded people and grow together.
