Singer Shweta Pandit Trades Mic for Composer's Chair
29 Aug
Summary
- Shweta Pandit transitions from playback singer to composer after two decades.
- She believes playback singers are often treated as technicians, not artists.
- Pandit aims to offer a more complete musical experience to her audience.
Playback singer Shweta Pandit, recognized for her contributions to films like Welcome and Partner, has officially transitioned into a composer role. This significant career shift marks the culmination of over two decades in the music industry. Pandit began her playback singing journey with the film Mohabbatein in 2000.
She expressed that the Indian music industry often limits singers to a 'technician' role, separate from the artistic creation of a song. This perspective, she notes, differs from Western music culture where artists often write, compose, and perform their own work, fostering a direct connection with audiences.
Pandit's decision to compose is her way of giving back to the listeners who have supported her. She feels that not composing or writing music leads to an incomplete journey as a musician, regardless of success in playback singing. This new direction aims to fulfill her artistic vision more completely.
