Mumbai, April 9 (NationPress) Celebrated for producing chart-toppers like Raataan Lambiyan, Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya, and Makhna, music composer Tanishk Bagchi has opened up about not only his musical endeavors but also the personal struggles that shaped his path to success.
“I come from silence. From loss. From a promise whispered by someone I didn’t get to keep long enough,” shared Tanishk, reflecting on his humble beginnings in Kolkata.
Music has always been integral to his life. His mother would carry a piano through the streets, teaching music wherever she could. His father believed his son was destined for greatness, but it was his late sister who truly recognized his talent.
“I was just 14 when I lost her. Before she passed, she looked at me and said, ‘Make it your best. You will win the awards.’ That phrase has stayed with me,” he recalled.
After her passing, Tanishk and his father relocated to Mumbai.
“We were broke. We lacked connections. All we had was a piano and a dream we couldn't afford to abandon,” he explained.
He began by composing jingles and self-learning production techniques. Tanishk’s breakthrough arrived with Banno, followed by hits like Dilbar, Ve Maahi, Lut Gaye, and Aankh Maarey.
“People enjoyed the songs, but they didn't understand the journey behind them. The struggles it took to reach this point,” he added.
When asked about his recent decision to stop making remixes, he expressed, “I lost my father, who believed in me when no one else did. His dream was for me to become a solo composer. Now, I’m finally achieving that. This album, Skyforce, is dedicated to him, and my sister.”
He emphasized: “For everything they sacrificed so I could pursue this. This time, I’m not following trends or trying to prove anything. I aim to create music that feels authentic. Music that honors their memory. Even if it’s a remix, I am open to it.”
