New Delhi, April 24 (NationPress) Celebrated for his hit songs like “Humsafar,” “Tera Ban Jaunga” and “Mere Liye,” acclaimed playback singer and composer Akhil Sachdeva confronts creative blocks by placing faith in his process, maintaining authenticity, and honoring his emotions. He attributes his success to Lord Hanuman and his mother, trusting that their support keeps him aligned with his true path.
In a discussion with IANS, Akhil shared insights on creative obstacles, stating: “Creative blocks undoubtedly arise, but I allow them time. I have confidence in my process, trust my growth, and I remain committed to them.”
“Sometimes, if I struggle to produce something or feel the need to modify what I’ve created, I trust my instincts and move forward. This straightforward, genuine, and honest approach is what helps me.”
He further explained: “It’s not solely my creation; it’s also divine. I dedicate everything to Hanuman Maharaj Ji, leaving it all in their hands and my mother’s. I know they guide me right. I trust my abilities and pursue music.”
When it comes to songwriting, does Akhil begin with lyrics, melody, or mood?
“For me, being in that creative space and vibe is essential. I feel connected to everything around me. I believe I’m in sync with the universe, and I continually seek new melodies.”
For Akhil, composition is the starting point.
“I begin with composing. When melodies come to me intuitively while I’m humming, I often keep the words or phrases that resonate and build around them. It’s about what feels right to the heart, and that’s the essence of true music.”
Next comes the melody, followed by the lyrics, and finally, he uses his voice to convey the song’s essence.
“That’s my workflow. After composing the melody, I write the lyrics and consider the vibe I want to express through my voice, using it accordingly to fit the song.”
