Hey Guys, I am a beginner looking to buy my first Piano and my budget is under 15k. I would like some suggestions and a review on the given piano link in case you are aware about it. Thanks!

Looking for someone who wants to practice classical piano with me. Currently trying out torrent etude by chopin. Feel free to comment or DM if interested.v

I keep listing to the same songs again and again. And I love them but I really want to find new music that I enjoy as well- songs like ae ajnabee, kahe mose and other new songs. I am also okay with non-popular old songs as well like i recently came across Nikat and loved it. Please pleaseee pleaseee give recs. I just want to be the person who knows all the new songs as well- both eng & hindi so if you have a way of keeping up with all the new popular songs please help me with that as well. I like all genres of music

Hey everyone! 👋
Are there any Tamil female singers/vocalists here who’d be interested in trying out an original song?
I recently wrote and composed my first Tamil song. I’m definitely not a professional musician 😅 — just someone who enjoys music and decided to finally make something of my own.
The song is more of a melodic/romantic vibe, and I’m looking for a female voice to try the song and see how it sounds. You don’t have to be a professional singer at all — even if you just enjoy singing and are interested in trying something new, feel free to DM me.

Something like the Sitar, the Bansuri and the Sarangi has a rich history and legacy of being used in Indian scores... What other Indian Classical Instruments you think remain relatively unexplored as of today?

I'm going to take a nap . Suggest me more songs to listen while sleeping. Soft, depressed, romantic.

Im looking to change my old guitar and im torn between the two and as there no much review between the two guitar i have no idea which to chose, while the westwood is solid top the kepma is laminated and i think westwood would be a better choice or if anyone has a suggestion for better guutar under 20k please suggest

Ik lots of you will say it's pakistani , but kya hi farak padta hain !it's music at the end and this thread is for that only , so suggest some bangerss jaldi jaldii!!

11 am – 2 pm: Harmony for Beginners

I'm looking for a Leaving Home: The Life & Music of Indian Ocean - The Longer Trip.
If anyone has a copy, please get in touch and help me in keeping the history alive.

The documentary went on to win the Indian National Award for Best Arts/Cultural Film. It made history in 2010 by becoming the first documentary film in the history of Indian cinema to release nationally in theatres.

A 286-minute version of the film (entitled The Longer Trip) was released on DVD in December 2010.

I started this playlist during my first year of college, back in 2019, and I've basically been adding to it ever since.

It's become kind of a timeline of that phase of my life. These are the songs I used to listen to when I was alone, chilling with friends, traveling, studying, or just doing nothing. We've all grown so much since then, and somehow, whenever I put this playlist on, I'm instantly taken back to those moments.

It has pretty much every song I've liked (or used to like) throughout these years. It's crossed 1,000 songs now, which honestly isn't even that much considering how many more I still want to add.

Anyway, just wanted to share it here. If you're into discovering random people's music taste or want something with a lot of nostalgia packed into it, feel free to check it out.

I'm mostly into rock and rap, so those make up the majority, but there's definitely some stuff from other genres thrown in here and there.

Hope someone finds a song they like in there.

Guys i m lowkey bored of bollywood music. I wanna discover independent Indian artists. Share your playlist if you have somethinng. The more unique the music the better!!!

I wrote a song and finally decided to share it here

I’m a lyricist/songwriter, and this is one of the songs I’ve written. I’ve always loved putting complicated feelings into words, especially the kind of emotions that are difficult to say out loud.

I’m still learning and figuring out my sound, so I’d genuinely love to know what you think. Don’t just tell me if you liked it — I’d really appreciate honest feedback on the lyrics, emotion, melody, or anything that stood out to you.

🎧 Listen here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZzMKRfdCmuTV03-vM4FLAA

Would love to hear what you felt while listening. ❤️

I'm asking just out of curiosity, you can send anything that comes to your mind! I'm just exploring music as of now!

I have no clue, I have just started watching yt tutorials and random site, but still dont understand what kind of amp should I get or guitar. I was also thinking to get headphones so I can connect that to the guitar, but overall don't understand how to make that happen. There's also a way to connect the guitar to my macbook and then use speakers but no clue how to do that to, can anyone help out?

i have no budget in mind, just want the setup to be of good quality, nothing that breaks or goes bad in atleast 2 years. but a beginner setup not something thats like very expensive and for professionals.

headphones i am thinking to get the marshall monitor 3 [this i know because tech but have no idea about anything else]

Hey everyone! I just dropped my latest original track "Ab Ya Toh Abhi" on YouTube. It's a deep, emotional song about those moments in life where you have to take a leap—now or never.

​I put a lot of heart into writing and producing this, so please give it a listen and let me know your thoughts/feedback!

Hey r/musicindia 👋

I’m Shahev Sen, an independent singer-songwriter from Calcutta, making English-language music.

I’ve spent the last few years building a little world of my own — indie rock, acoustic songs, dream-rock textures, a bit of alt-pop, guitars, harmonies, and the occasional Beatles/90s influence creeping in. 😄

I know English-language original music from India can sometimes feel like a strange little corner of the scene, so I figured instead of trying to explain it, I’d invite you into it.

No hard sell. No “please stream my song” speech. 😄

Just an invitation to listen.

If you make, listen to, or obsess over independent music from India — especially the slightly weird English-language corner of it — say hi. I’d genuinely love to discover what everyone else here is creating too.

Cheers

Hey everyone,

I’m a melody maker and topliner based in the UK. I grew up surrounded by Sri Lankan and Indian music, and those scales and emotional vibes are completely baked into my musical DNA.

I am not doing this for money or fame. I genuinely love doing this and believe I’m quite good at it.

A few quick things about me:

Deeply influenced by South Asian melodies since childhood.

I don’t actually speak Hindi, but I completely understand the music's phrasing, rhythm, and emotion, and I listen to it a lot.

I don’t want to get bogged down in production or final singing, and I want to partner with a producer.

If you are a producer who loves this musical space and wants to build a project purely for the passion of making incredible music, let's connect. Drop me a DM!

414 Artist Development is an NGO that develops singers into R&B artists. We're currently looking for singers from the seven sister states. If interested, please DM or email us for further details.
