17-Year-Old Rudh's Indie Music Journey Takes Flight
29 Jul
Summary
- Rudh released two Tamil independent singles by age 17.
- Instagram helped him connect with producers and the indie scene.
- Sai Abhyankkar's 'Katchi Sera' inspired his deeper dive into Tamil indie.
Emerging at the age of 17, Rudh has already made his mark on the Tamil independent music scene with two released singles. His track 'Kaadhal Yaathiriye' was a labor of love, evolving through four different versions with changes in lyrics, ideas, and beats before its release.
Rudh found his entry into the indie music community largely through Instagram, a platform that facilitated connections with producers and fellow artists. This organic networking led to opportunities, including a referral to his current label, highlighting the importance of connections in the industry.
The growing Tamil indie scene significantly impressed Rudh after hearing Sai Abhyankkar's 'Katchi Sera.' This inspired him to explore the genre's diverse subgenres and styles more deeply. Rudh views his young age, 17, as an advantage, believing that talent and work are paramount in today's music industry, not age.
Looking ahead, Rudh aims to balance releasing his own independent music with composing for films. His upcoming single is notably aimed at "soup boys and all the single guys out there," indicating a potentially relatable theme.
