00:00Hey Goji, first of all, welcome to IMS.
00:02Thank you so much, sir. Thank you. It's an honor.
00:04Sir, you have been playing your first year in 15 years.
00:10Yes.
00:11How did it come to you and what did you write to your friends?
00:15Yes sir, this song is an emotion for me.
00:20Because I have passed 10th grade, I just finished 10th grade.
00:24So I thought that my friends are so big for me.
00:28We live together, like one family.
00:31So I thought that I would make a song on top of them.
00:34Oh my God.
00:35That song is about friendship.
00:37So this was my idea when we had a farewell party on the 10th grade.
00:41And when I was at home, suddenly a melody was very good.
00:45Oh my God.
00:47It was haunting me.
00:49So I was going to play guitar for my mom.
00:52So I thought it was very good.
00:54Composing was very easy.
00:56I was composed in 2 minutes.
00:57It was very easy.
00:58The melody was very easy.
01:00And after that,
01:01I wrote a song on my right hand.
01:04Shaira Ji Apoorva.
01:05It was very good.
01:06It was very good.
01:07So after that,
01:08it became O-Yara.
01:10And now touchwood is very good.
01:12The O-Yara song is very good.
01:13It's very supportive.
01:14On every audio platform on YouTube.
01:16So it's really good.
01:17Yes.
01:18Yes.
01:19You say that friendship is the backbone of every emotion.
01:22Correct.
01:23So do you have any friends in your life?
01:27Or have you been saved?
01:28Look, my friends are...
01:32We are from one family.
01:35I mean,
01:36they are supporting me in every heart.
01:38They are supporting me.
01:39They are helping me with children.
01:40And in school,
01:42like the teacher took me with them.
01:44Or something happened.
01:45You know?
01:46They are helping me with children.
01:48They are helping me with children.
01:50That's why,
01:51I feel that...
01:52I have two or three friends.
01:54They are like best friends to me.
01:58So,
01:59I composed this song.
02:01And...
02:02They support me.
02:05Do you want to know that
02:07today's friendship has changed?
02:11Or what's your problem in today's future?
02:14Look,
02:15Gen Z or...
02:17Like...
02:18I mean,
02:19I have friends in my opinion.
02:22And...
02:23Now...
02:24Now...
02:25Now...
02:26In the situation,
02:27Friends is a very important thing.
02:30A very important subject.
02:32Friends.
02:33And...
02:34Those people...
02:35After your family...
02:36You all family and friends here.
02:38They all help you with everything.
02:40They support you.
02:42So,
02:43I feel that they are always with you.
02:44Like brothers.
02:46Like brothers.
02:47But...
02:48Under-generation.
02:49You feel like father...
02:50With the parents...
02:51In mobile...
02:52And stuff...
02:53Like...
02:54With the kids...
02:55In the 90's...
02:56We are more than my friends.
02:58We have to get friends...
03:00We are very great.
03:01Correct.
03:02I think that now the time is changing.
03:05There are modern phones, social, instagram, twitter, snapchat.
03:09In the 90s, it was how we had to meet each other physically.
03:12We had to sit in tea and talk and enjoy.
03:16Now they are online. They are sitting on the phone.
03:19It's friendly but the means of transport and communication changed.
03:24That's how they have to get the phone.
03:26Tell me about your grandfather.
03:28Because he has a daily life.
03:31But who is a professional advice that you always follow?
03:37Dadu was such a person.
03:41He told me about everything.
03:47He told me that I always be humble.
03:52Dadu was such a big legend.
03:54He was so much of a craft.
03:56But he was a very humble person.
03:58He was a very good person.
04:00Dadu told me that you are big and you are so much.
04:04You are so humble.
04:06You are so humble to hear people.
04:08Everyone is taking care of everyone.
04:10Dadu is taking care of everyone.
04:13Dadu is taking care of everyone.
04:15I think this is a story of Dadu.
04:19His name was Disco King.
04:22Yes.
04:23Your style is similar or different?
04:27Look, Dadu's style is Disco King.
04:32The most flamboyant person in the industry.
04:35Right?
04:36I am trying to portray him like Dadu.
04:40But what I am doing?
04:42I am getting a new wave to the industry.
04:45My plan is to take a new wave to the industry.
04:47With a new style.
04:49A new charismatic personality.
04:52But I think that as many songs we want to grow,
04:57The more big ones will be,
04:58The more big ones will be the same.
04:59Now the one one.
05:00The one one will be the same.
05:01The one will be the same.
05:02The other one will be the same.
05:03On the other one will be the same.
05:04We will continue.
05:05Some people have criticized you, but you don't want to be inspired by your songs.
05:12What do you want to say about your songs?
05:19Look, we sing singers, music composers,
05:25we go out and listen to other people's songs.
05:29Because every music composer has to do something new for the industry.
05:34Do you understand me about this?
05:36Dadu, Aadi Barman, all of them inspired.
05:41The idea they wanted to create in the Bollywood industry also.
05:45That's why they were inspired by creating a song.
05:49But people think that they are copying something.
05:53But I don't agree with them.
05:56Just an inspiration which they take to get those wives to Bollywood.
06:01That was their idea.
06:02Yes, correct.
06:05But critics have never understood.
06:10Do you think that in India,
06:12there is no recognition of new musicians in India?
06:16No, I...
06:18The new musicians experience.
06:20They get a chance, but they get a chance from their talent.
06:24Right?
06:25So...
06:26Dadu's music was way ahead of his time.
06:28They knew that I was making the music in the 80s.
06:32That will continue.
06:33In 2010, 2015, it will run on.
06:37So...
06:38They create songs like this,
06:40which...
06:41All age groups crowd came to the crowd.
06:43Right?
06:44That's why his music was...
06:45His music was way ahead of its time.
06:47And I feel that all the experimental musicians,
06:49they will get a chance.
06:51Because it's the talent which will go forward.
06:53What they know,
06:55what they sing,
06:56sing,
06:57sing,
06:58compose,
06:59that's the thing.
07:01That's the thing.
07:02For generations.
07:03If you're young,
07:04fresh,
07:05and come along with a legacy,
07:06so,
07:07people don't seriously live
07:08or are you just looking for a grandson of the label?
07:11Look,
07:12I'm still young.
07:13I've just stepped into the industry.
07:16So,
07:17I'm going to take Dadu's legacy forward.
07:19Dadu has the vast legacy.
07:20He's left.
07:21So,
07:22I want to carry Dadu's legacy.
07:24I want to make a separate name.
07:26Like,
07:27like Rego B.
07:28People will know me from my name.
07:29That's my aim.
07:30That's my aim.
07:31Is the originality of today's music scene
07:34more important?
07:36Or is the virality important?
07:38Is it soulful or the ending?
07:42I'll be soulful.
07:43Because,
07:44both are very important,
07:45but soulful.
07:46Because,
07:47because the melody of the song has been hit.
07:48If the melody is hit on the right place,
07:50that means your song is viral or not.
07:52I just said,
07:53it's just a hit.
07:54The main melody of the song has been hit.
07:56So,
07:57if the melody is right,
07:58then your song,
07:59if it's not trending also,
08:00it's a hit.
08:01That is my,
08:02this thing.
08:03Yes.
08:04So,
08:05I feel that,
08:06that,
08:07that,
08:08that,
08:11that,
08:12that,
08:13the,
08:14the,
08:15the,
08:16the,
08:17this,
08:18the
08:19Ed,
08:20I am coming as an independent artist, a singer, a composer, a music composer, so I don't feel no pressure.
08:29Sir, you have talked about the music that you have composed of different music, so which music was your favorite?
08:49Dadu has taught me a lot of teaching about singing and composing.
08:52In singing, they told me that Dadu's song was very different. It was a different song.
08:58So, they told me how to practice the song, how to practice the song, how to do exercises.
09:04In composing, they told me that you layer the song first.
09:07Then, we release the song on the guitar or the piano.
09:10Then, we program it. Dadu told me all the steps.
09:14Then, what are the steps of music and composing?
09:16Dadu, I learned a lot of this. My favorite genre is that I like all genres of music.
09:22I like all genres of music. Pop, soul, Bollywood, commercial, rap, I like all genres of music.
09:28Today, there will be a new brand.
09:30I like all genres of music that I like all genres of music.
09:35I feel that times are changing right now and everything is becoming a bit too nice and modern.
09:43So, I feel that AI, see, AI music, it's not originality.
09:51The music composers truly do it. It's basically doing carbon copy of the song.
09:57The composers like Dadu, R.D. Barman, they gave their heart and soul in the song.
10:02They gave their own songs. They gave their own songs a thousand percent.
10:05What is AI?
10:06They gave their own songs to make it in 2 minutes.
10:08There is a difference that this is AI or this is original music.
10:12R.D. Barman, you should know that this music video is just audio and video.
10:19This video is also released on my YouTube channel. R.D. Barman, this video has already crossed 5,000,000 views.

10:32R.D. Barman, this video has already crossed 5,000,000 views.
