So I just had this phrase in my mind &#8211; <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kaafi Dino Se<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Life. It gets to you. For Quest, everything else he was feeling at that time only added to this single. When he first approached his songwriting process, nothing was making sense. Lost and confined within the four walls of his house, Quest found himself growing comfortable in his skin, finding the confidence he needed to start working on himself again. It is safe to say that the lockdown hasn\u2019t been all blues for him. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Quest - Kaafi Dino Se | Frequency Time Space\" width=\"702\" height=\"395\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4wkKpDKiHjo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Songwriting has definitely been on the up for Quest since he has had more time on his hands, with not having to hustle between college and work anymore. \u201cIt&#8217;s definitely, most definitely for the better. I&#8217;ve changed the way I approached things and music. I\u2019ve started experimenting [with]writing more honest pieces which inspire me as such, rather than being concerned about what or how people might perceive me. I kind of found myself again as an artist due to the lockdown. I could introspect and sit with a lot of thoughts, actually let them come out, and hone them into songs which tell a story.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Well, he wasn\u2019t kidding! Quest has penned down around 50 tracks worth of material, enough for three projects, including songs he\u2019s produced, and done vocals on himself. But like every budding creative mind, he\u2019s discarded a lot of it! \u201cI actually made an EP which I scrapped also. After that, I linked up with Sammad, a Delhi-based rapper who I met through SoundCloud, and we made an EP which is on the way. It was made mostly during quarantine.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2669\" style=\"width: 687px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2669\" class=\"wp-image-2669\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ticketfairy.com\/word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_2467.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"677\" height=\"451\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ticketfairy.com\/word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_2467.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.ticketfairy.com\/word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_2467-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.ticketfairy.com\/word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_2467-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ticketfairy.com\/word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_2467-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ticketfairy.com\/word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_2467-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 677px) 100vw, 677px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-2669\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by Anurag Sharma<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to genres, Quest likes to go with the flow. He started off with hip hop, and that journey has been a constant evolution for him. Hip hop and rap are his foundation, but he keeps an open mind as far as possible, drawing inspiration from everything he enjoys in other genres. Looking at the bigger picture with Quest, we can expect to see music coming from all directions &#8211; be it solo or with FTS. Crew members Nuke, Specter, and RaySon4 7 are all working on interesting projects, Tienas included. As a collective too, they\u2019ve got something in the works which should be coming out by the end of this year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Early Hour\" width=\"702\" height=\"527\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4ORDFcUn1YU?list=OLAK5uy_k0NjOZDlCntxdJ5OB7eo6yp0ciMaNwnYo\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Listen to Quest\u2019s April 2020 EP \u2018Thoughts I have while I zZz\u2019<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/3UpqcaCPt2wq4vSyNsvOoA\" width=\"300\" height=\"380\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We also asked him what he\u2019s been listening to lately, \u201cI have been listening to Briston Marooney, Tame Impala, 6lack, Biggie, Boon, GZA, Big Sean, Drake, Russ, Kendrick then a lot of independent music from YouTube pages such as Time Ho Toh Sun Lena &#8211; which features artists such as Tamashbeens, Shajie (who is my favourite) and Rao Hamza Hayat.
