In the artist’s words:
Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. Listening to old and (at the time) new Bollywood music on the radio and television from movies such as Dil Se, DDLJ, Baazigar, Deewana, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Taal, Sarfarosh, etc.
What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? A. R. Rahman, Dil Se (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) Hania Rani, Home Radiohead, Kid A Being a culturally diverse band, selecting just three albums is a massive ask. However, the sounds, melodies, atmospheres, experimentation & emotional quotient on these three albums as a collection represents what we're trying to push for in Minaxi.
Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “Tu [feat. Milan Ganatra] (Sufi Rock Version)” The composition, sound, instrumentation and execution highlights the wide sonic range of the band. The worlds of Hindustani classical & pop music and Western alt rock, blend seamlessly to express the existential dance of life and death in "Tu".
