In the constantly changing world of music, Sapra is one of the artists who likes to face every challenge. Recently, in an exclusive interview with ETimes, Sapra delved into various aspects of his latest ventures. He also shed featherlight on his imaginative process, the challenges he faces and more. Fragments of the interview:
Discussing his latest song ‘Booty Beauty’ recorded and filmed for the feature film ‘Dead Of Night’ he said: ‘It’s one of my favorite songs so far. I had the opportunity to write and compose this song with Sharad Tripathi and Ara Torosyan are my two favorite people to work with.” He described a velvety collaboration with the film’s writer and director, who suggested incorporating the song into the narrative.
Filmed in a country bar in Apple Valley, California, Sapra chronicled the unique experience of combining Hinglish lyrics with a Western setting. Despite initial skepticism, he noted, “No one understood it, but everyone danced to it.”
Sapra highlighted the harmonious power of music from different cultures, especially evident in the comedy scene, where his character, Ravi, a Hindi rapper, entertains a mostly Western audience.
Moreover, drawing inspiration from Marc Randolph’s book “It’ll Never Work,” Sapra emphasized the importance of trusting your imaginative instincts. He shared, “What I learned from the above is that I have to trust my idea. What excites me, what makes me dance, what makes me jump, and I usually trust it. I’m lucky to have a group of great musicians working with me who offer their criticism and advice, I take note of it and don’t doubt it too much.
Reflecting on the audience’s reception, Sapra emphasized the unpredictability of artistic success. “If I like it, ultimately the audience will always like it,” he assured.
Finally, when discussing the future landscape of music, Sapra predicted a transformational change powered by artificial intelligence (AI). He speculated, “Artificial intelligence will eventually break the music industry,” predicting a paradigm in which digital tools will replace the conventional role in music production.
However, Sapra also acknowledged that live performances have continued appeal, suggesting a resurgence in appreciation for genuine, unfiltered artistry. “After a few years, live performances will be more appreciated. Live theater and live music will return because people will discover the difference. It will also be survival of the fittest, many people will walk away from music; so they will stay forceful. The best of the best would also shine; more importantly, people with unique, genuine, real presence would have it straightforward,” he concluded.
