Summary
- Taba Chake, indie singer-songwriter, represents Arunachal Pradesh as Brand Ambassador
- Chake takes 6-8 month breaks to recharge before composing new albums
- Zubeen Garg's music inspired an entire generation of North East artists
As of October 16th, 2025, indie singer-songwriter Taba Chake stands out as an artist who lets authenticity lead the way. Hailing from Arunachal Pradesh, Chake has crafted a niche with his soulful melodies, poetic lyrics, and deep connection to his cultural roots.
In his role as the Brand Ambassador for Art and Culture in Arunachal Pradesh, Chake takes immense pride in representing his homeland wherever he performs. "I carry my culture wherever I go," he said, noting that artists from the North East have a distinct texture in their voices, blending the rustic with the modern.
To maintain this creative balance, Chake has built a unique rhythm for himself. Before writing a new album, he takes a 6-8 month break, completely eliminating music from his system. "I spend time in the countryside or my village, doing things that have nothing to do with art or music. That makes me feel grounded, and when I return, I come back with fresh perspectives," he explained.
