Cutural Influence:
My initial studies began living in a seaside village called Puthanthope in Kerala's capital Thiruvananthapuram district. Most of the people there were Christians. I loved the songs that came out during the Christmas season as well. The melody, rhythm, and singing styles attracted me more. So Christmas season was always a feast of songs for me. This festive season is one of my favorites. My favorite moments on Christmas is the tug-of-war on the beach. Both teams pull in harmony and when the rhythm of the sea waves joins, there is an experience of celebrating nature and man together. I was very impressed by it. Later, I was a part of the Christmas album presented by Bon Bon Chorus which I assisted along with Dr. Jassie Gift for a few songs. Being Indian makes it easy to know and experience different types of culture. We have authentic Hindustani music and Carnatic music. Apart from that, the western music culture is also advancing along with it. It is now possible to experiment with music as a musician and impart a new way of enjoyment to the listeners.
Approaching songwriting and the messages I want to covey, the words chosen should be in tune with the melody and each word should be able to convey the meaning and feel of the song to the audience. When certain words are combined with certain melodies, magic is created. So I believe that this songwriting has equal importance in giving a melody.
It's been a very good journey with music, I've made some mistakes, but I dare to understand them, and from that, I'm correcting the mistakes and improving each one. Every day I like to learn new things and that too about music. And even making music is like being in a classroom. Here I am the teacher, I am the disciple, and music is the subject, and that is a process that I like very much.
In the next 5 years, I want to be known as a well-recognized musician. Life is too short to not achieve as much as possible, make good songs and music, and entertain huge audiences. I want to be able to make better music and when I finish a song, I want to be one of the audience. I currently have 2 songs in the pipeline. All music should come out with good sound quality for everyone to enjoy. My technicians and I are working to bring them to the audience in February 2024. There is a desire to do a collaboration with Alan Walker in the future and meeting Hans Zimmer at least once and talking about music for a while. Thatʼs one of my biggest dreams. If I come across some good venues, I will not hesitate to bring talented artists in front of the world. As everyone grows together, so does the art. I believe that a season is best suited when there is an artwork that understands that culture very deeply and integrates art with the culture.
KUNJAMMA:
It’s context is a young man who is in love and confides his troubles to a character named Kunjamma. Kunjamma means mother's younger sister, but here it is a character in that country that is loved by everyone, and the name Kunjamma is the name that everyone in the country addresses as that particular female character with love. Kunjamma is a woman who runs a toddy shop in that country. The songs of Prema Nirashyam have come as desired. However, I insisted that it not be a sad song because three and a half minutes is a modestly funny song to enjoy and make people laugh. The lyrics should be interesting. The primary lyrics were the first line of the song and its hook line. After that, the rest of the lines were written very interestingly.
To give an example, "When I have money in my hand, I became a hero to her, and when I have no money in my hand, I became a zero to her." This can be sung sadly, but for me, the character who was disappointed in love was drunk and swayed at that moment, joining the rest of them and saying this to Kunjamma. All the people who commented about the lyrics gave good comments, I saw some people laughing non-stop when they heard the song, that's what I wanted too.
