Music composer and  one half of the duo Sachin Jigar, shares that the duo could release a non - film music during the Quarantine period. Up until now, all of our time was spent in making music for Bollywood. He said, "Yes, we always wanted to do release our independent music, but we just never really got time for that. We have been working 20 hours every day trying to cater to the demands put forth by the film industry, and obviously we loved doing that job. But we never got the time to explore the independent space". The composer jokes about music industry is becoming “atma nirbhar” after this lockdown. “The self worth existed before as well, but just the prominence of it and the fact that more musicians now realise that existed before they are on their own and they can survive on their own.,” he says. Sachin himself, recently released his first ever independent single. A sufi song, titled Rangreza, was only possible because of the lockdown.⁣

 

contrary to the popular belief Sachin insists that the music industry has not been hit as badly as some other industries have been. While he agrees that majority of revenue has dried up because of no live gigs, he feels that the industry will adapt to the changes and will turn up triumphant after the crisis ends. In his own words, “I don’t think its that big an impact and I feel we are far too below in the priority list. But things change and the industry will adapt. Mannerisms in terms of consumption will change. I think e concerts will become a thing and it will get even bigger. So its only going to change and get better from here"⁣
