Are singer-songwriters sad all the time?

I recently started a Youtube Vlog series called Mahesh Music Diaries to simply express all the things that goes on in my day to day life as a singer songwriter. I thought it'd be a great thing for the humble audience I am fortunate to have back home. But also, it is a great exercise to see yourself from third person and be able to mould yourself into a better and wiser person. And also, it's fun!     This is one question that has been asked way too many times in my short career

The Beautiful Feeling of Worthlessness

I have been thinking about this for a while. What makes a human pursue “meaning” in life? What is it that brings a sense of purpose to one's existence? It sounds like fancy philosophical anecdotal small talk. But truly, this is at the very core of whatever we do in life. In every single decision we make, tiny or large. That's when I realised that it's not the "quarter life crisis" talking but that it's an absolutely essential conversation I needed to have with myself.    Being a musician

My "Success Story"

I was recently asked about what success means to me as a songwriter and musician. Explaining what this broad term means took me good thought. But recently, something that happened made things much easier for me to answer this question. Every individual is on the journey of finding some purpose in life. There are good times and bad that each of us wade through. Though we cannot possibly quantify all of it in a sentence (or a hundred), there are certain experiences that embrace the essence of

Listening Habits for a Musician

http://www.mahesh-music.com/listening-habits-for-a-musician/   As a songwriter (and you will see if you do listen to the recent music I've put out on my SoundCloud or Youtube), my songs are quite melancholic and well, 'singer-songwriter'y.   But the music I'm listening to is not along the same lines.   I listen to a lot of RnB, Neo-Soul, Blues, a bit of Jazz music and more. That's usually my playlist that would keep me going on a daily basis. Sure, I do indulge myse

"Accept" finally released today! I'm so pumped to share it with you.

Two years is what it took for this day to arrive. I’d been doing this “music thing” for many years but the opportunity to go into the studio and do a solid record with a band had always been a far fetched idea.   Two years later, here I am having worked with an incredible bunch of musicians to put these incredibly songs together and share it with you today.It is safe to say that “Accept” changed my life; as a musician and as a human being. I’m really glad to be sharing these songs with

"Accept" releases worldwide September 30!

"Accept" is finally releasing on all platforms on 30th September!   After two years of hard work and learning, I'm glad that it has finally reached its final lapses of the journey. Over the course of this project, I have collaborated with so many different kinds of people on so many different fronts; so much so that it became a central theme to what this EP has been all about. And based on that I'm doing a few collaborations in the city as we move toward the final launch gig!

Emotion and Words

I wanted to share with you this song I wrote a couple months ago with the many changes that this year has given me in life.   It's a reminder to everyone listening and to myself that 'feeling' an emotion is not the same as *associating* it to names, faces, places, situation and words. While recording this, I was interrupted by a kid in the parking lot who seemed to be amused by the singing. lol I felt like it was an appropriate surprise so I kept the take.

Your Mind (music video) is out now!

I’m super excited to be sharing with you, “Your Mind”, the second single and music video from my upcoming EP “Accept”.    After the melancholic first single “Come Find Me”, I wanted to release something that gave a contrast to the somber side of me and my music. Your Mind is a song about coming out of the bubble that we create for ourselves with our minds. We create a false sense of reality where only those things that are pleasant find their place while the truth stays hidden deep und

Mahesh - Fly Away (Live in the Room Sessions)

I've been doing a lot of things at the same time lately.   Just about to start touring to promote the EP besides working on the second music video, a documentary, launch gig and a lot more music all the while preparing for the EP to release in September with the team at Songstuff's very own Red Circle 7 Records. It's very easy during these times for me to completely forget picking up the guitar. And that concerns me. lol I need my regular dose of music to keep things sane(r).

EP Work Log : Need to build a better routine

Now that an artist grant has been graciously granted to me for working on my upcoming EP, the pressure is on - I've been trying to find ways to settle in on a daily routine that helps me keep pace with all the incoming work including its creative requirements. It's been an intimidating time for sure.   Creativity cannot be forced. But I surely do believe it can be invited. I believe that a regular time-bound routine where I get to spend the time on the DAW a lil more would be useful in

"Emily King commented on my Instagram Profile!" | COVID19 Collabs

During this global pandemic, for better or for worse, social media and the internet in general have taken the front seats in many of our lives.   This is especially the case for many musicians as they turn to services like Instagram and Youtube to entertain their fans and interact with them. We see artists like Norah Jones doing mini concerts or Jordan Rakei writing songs while streaming live every week. And I think it's bringing musicians and followers to a common ground with pretty i

Fading Colours touches 200k streams on Spotify!

It is with much gratitude & excitement I share the news with you that my previous single ‘Fading Colours‘ has reached 200,000 streams on Spotify since its release in October 2020!       When the first wave of the pandemic hit us strong and the lockdowns began to thrive, it was a strange time for me.   I bet you would think the same!   The first few weeks, especially, were tough. Being holed up within four walls, seeing the death & horror unf

A Silent Night | It's been a rough time here in India

TriggerWarning: Reality, death, illness     While having the privilege of a roof and the fortune of being healthy, it's been very painful to watch the horror unfolding in my country due to the second wave of COVID-19. There are no beds in hospitals let alone the necessary oxygen or medical drugs needed to treat the patients. There's no place in crematoriums to burn/bury the loved ones with dignity. There's accute shortage of vaccines to swiftly put a damper on the situation. And

• re-discovering myself in self-isolation •

With the new-age of COVID-19, the world’s been forced to transform ways of living through social distancing, cleanliness habits, and beyond. Personally, with so much time being spent in my room and away from friends, it’s been a deep inward journey for transformation within myself. None can run away from their own thoughts (especially during quarantine!). But you can learn to slow down, stop, and simply turn around to look at what is really chasing you. And that’s been the motivation for ma
