Hariharan, the maestro whose voice weaves magic across Bollywood, ghazals, and beyond, reflects on half a century of melody. Singing in multiple tongues, he’s a guardian of India’s musical heritage. In an intimate discussion, he tackled fleeting fame, riyaaz’s supremacy, industry evolution, and fresh projects.
‘Forgo instant Instagram triumphs,’ he told newcomers. ‘Music is a lifestyle—embrace your voice, shun copies. Authenticity endures.’
Riyaaz reigns supreme: ‘Daily dawn sessions keep my voice precise and profound. Tech helps, but soul comes from practice alone.’
As trends morph, Hariharan prioritizes human spark. ‘Use tools wisely; let ideas lead,’ he said. ‘Jaan Meri’ innovates by wedding raags to modern rhythms, urging: ‘Classical base unlocks all doors.’
Film vs. indie? He thrives in both, loving indie’s vast canvas. Praising emerging talents, he added: ‘Every era births icons; I chase endless horizons.’
Through Hariharan’s lens, true stardom blooms from discipline, not hype— a timeless lesson for tomorrow’s crooners.
