Loss of three family members. Projects grinding to a halt. Elderly parents to worry about. No access to studios... For hip-hop artist Aditya Guglani, the last year has been a particularly tough one. But music is a balm that can soothe most pain. Out of the anguish and uncertainty came his soon-to-be-released album, Chandrayaan.
Understandably, it sings about the pandemic and how chaos has pushed the singer out of his comfort zone and into the unknown. “The songs in the album echo what a lot of us are going through—loss, helplessness and the uncertainty of life,” says the artist, also known as Qoini—adapted from the Hindi phrase ‘koi nahi’, which means ‘nobody’. Guglani uses the term for himself as he has always felt like an underdog or a misfit.
