<p>Akull, popular singer and music composer, recently launched his song ‘Faraar’ featuring Avneet Kaur. Akull has given successful tracks in the past like ‘Laal Bindi’, ‘Laal Chunariya’, ‘Bahana’, and created a unique space for himself in the music industry. Akull talks to Metrolife about his new song and his experiences in the music industry.</p>.<p class="Question"><strong>How did you get interested in composing?</strong></p>.<p>I’ve always been very passionate about music, and the entire process of composition and production of music always fascinated me. I began my career my composing melodies for songs, and singing happened along the way.</p>.<p class="Question"><strong>What encouraged you to work on 'Faraar'?</strong></p>.<p>I try to bring something new to the audience. ‘Faraar’ is very different from my previous songs, because it is tastefully written from a woman’s perspective on the modern-day relationship culture. I composed the melody of the song a year and a half ago, while I was travelling, and instantly knew that it’s something special.</p>.<p class="Question"><strong>How do you deal with competition and failure?</strong></p>.<p>I stay positive, and focus on my work. I believe there will always be some amount of criticism, which when taken positively and will help me grow. I focus on acing my own benchmarks, rather than comparing myself to others.</p>.<p class="Question"><strong>How was the experience of shooting during the pandemic?</strong></p>.<p>The entire process was a lot more time-consuming due to the pandemic, since our crew was very committed towards following the safety protocols diligently. I’m glad that even after such a big crew of about 50 to 60 people, we managed the shoot well and everyone is safe.</p>.<p class="Question"><strong>Do you have any favourites in the Indian music scene?</strong></p>.<p>I look up to the work of Jaani, the music writer and composer and look forward to working with him someday. His work inspires me and I listen to his compositions frequently.</p>.<p class="Question"><strong>Do you find any differences between live performances and Zoom shows? What do you prefer?</strong></p>.<p>There’s definitely a very significant difference between the two, and even though I enjoy zoom shows and Instagram live sessions, I think that live performances are a completely different experience.</p>.<p>With the crowd cheering your name and singing along, it’s a very surreal feeling for any artist. I miss live shows.</p>
