Creativity Must Come From Truth, Not Trends: Ravi Basrur · deccanchronicle.com

Imagine a music maker named Ravi who has made cool sounds for movies like KGF for many years.

Now, he's made his very own music album called TITAN, not for a movie, but from his own feelings.

Ravi noticed that many young people listen to music from other countries.

He wants to make Indian music sound modern and exciting, like music from all over the world, but with the big feelings found in Indian stories.

He believes that making new things is like exploring a battlefield – you don't know what will happen, but you try your best.

Ravi built his own music studio with his friends, teaching us that everyone has a talent waiting to be found.

He thinks that making mistakes is okay because it helps us learn, just like a tough lesson in life.

His album is like a new beginning, hoping to show the world that Indian music can be just as awesome as any other.

Quotes

Ravi Basrur

acclaimed composer

“When I was around ten, I wanted to buy a leather shoe from a shop in Kundapur. It cost ₹700, which was huge for us. My father told me, ‘Earn it yourself.’ So every day after school, I worked sharpening scissors. I earned 50 paise a day. After months, I collected the money, bought the shoe, came home, wore it — and that excitement was gone. That day I realized something: the real joy is in the journey, not in the goal.”

“I studied what young people are listening to. I went through their Spotify playlists, I visited clubs, and I realized — 90% of what’s played is international. Hardly any Indian tracks. Even my daughter’s playlist was full of English songs. That’s when I decided: it’s time to change that.”
