The latest addition to Chennai\u2019s effervescent independent music scene is 19-year-old <\/span>Anjana<\/span><\/a> who released her debut single <\/span>\u2018Thedi Thedi\u2019<\/span><\/i> in June of this year. Hailing from a family of music enthusiasts and musicians, Anjana was ushered into the world of music at a very young age. She is a trained Carnatic vocalist, self-taught Western vocalist and multi-instrumentalist.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2018Thedi Thedi\u2019<\/span><\/i> is a Tamil-English indie synth-pop song with a tinge of \u2018dreamy vibe\u2019 to it. It is about one\u2019s journey towards self-discovery with added elements of frustration, anger, being lost and a little hope that one feels in their daily life.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI usually note down my thoughts on my phone. After releasing the song, I found a one-year-old note about the same theme which was quite surprising. I feel like this song was destined for me,\u201d Anjana reflects.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Ticket Fairy spoke to Anjana about her debut track, inspirations, experiences as an independent artist and more!<\/span><\/p>\n

THE TICKET FAIRY: <\/b>What was the inspiration behind <\/b>\u2018<\/b>Thedi Thedi\u2019<\/i><\/b> and how did you land on the decision to write a bilingual track?<\/b><\/h5>\n

While writing songs, I usually take inspiration from my personal experiences, friends, family and sometimes from my idols. Talking about idols, I am a hardcore Army (BTS fan) and they are my biggest inspiration ever. They work so hard and seeing that made me want to work hard towards my music and releasing them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Usually, K-pop songs are bilingual (Korean and English). And so as a K-pop fan, I was aware of the impact it had. That was my inspiration and I also wanted my song to reach more people.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Could you share the experience of working on your debut track as an independent artist?<\/b><\/h5>\n

I am actually quite new to both the indie music scene as well as the Chennai music scene since I lived in Coimbatore more than I have in Chennai. So, it was quite difficult at first to understand the whole scenario and how everything works. I did my little research, talked to some friends and one such good friend helped me find my producer, <\/span>Sanjeevi Easwar<\/span><\/a>. I contacted him the same day and we started working on the song immediately. He also helped me with sorting out a lot of other details other than producing. The song would\u2019ve been impossible if not for the most amazing and the kindest people around me who were always willing to help and support me.<\/span><\/p>\n
