“I hope its an eye opener for A LOT of the artists (mainstream too) to start making original content & music videos. Sirf brands ka wait karte reh jaoge tou hogaya kaam. Thora jaib mai haath daalo aur saath do,” he wrote.
I can literally count on one hand ke sirf kitne (established) artists hain that are investing in their craft & the music industry constantly. Baaki sab…? Bas koi brand ajaye, koi drama karlain, koi controversy ajaye. Aise nahi hota dost. Kuch dogay tou kuch milega 🙏🏽😊

The singer emphasized that musicians should not only perform in brand endorsed shows, make music that caters to certain requirements or look for controversies to get promoted. It is an era of experimentation where listeners are eager for good music and thus original content is always appreciated.
“I can literally count on one hand ke sirf kitne (established) artists hain that are investing in their craft & the music industry constantly. Baaki sab…? Bas koi brand ajaye, koi drama karlain, koi controversy ajaye. Aise nahi hota dost. Kuch dogay tou kuch milega [The rest are waiting for a brand, a drama OST, a controversy… you will only get results when you invest from your own pocket],” he added.
