It’s an amazing initiative by Hungama Artist Aloud and when I was approached I didn't even bat an eye to say confirm my performance. I cannot think of a better platform to showcase my original music. It is such a wonderful feeling to be part of a concert that is bringing the entire music fraternity together without any feeling of competition or being judged.
Awestrung Reloaded is giving a chance to artists to connect with the audiences and feel their love. It is also a great way to encourage aspiring artists and bring them into the spotlight.

My association with Hungama Artist Aloud goes way back to their inception. I was among the first few artists who were signed by them and since then our relationship has matured into something beautiful. They have fostered the growth of independent music in the country. Their continuous efforts have resulted in building an exclusive platform for independent artists and enabled them to grow and share their talent with the world.
Awestrung Reloaded will see close to 50 artists perform live for the audience. I think platforms that promote live performances are important and integral for artists. Gaining a chance to perform alongside so many great artists, helps in building a strong connection with the audience and aids in showcasing one's talent. It also motivates and inspires people to take up art and grow as a professional in the industry. I am a part of the concert because of Hungama Artist Aloud. I have always supported them and their endless endeavour to bridge the gap between independent artists and the audience.

I will be performing for Hungama Artist Aloud for the third time. All our earlier associations have resulted in amazing collaborations. I am really looking forward to Awestrung Reloaded and I hope that we keep associating for more such gigs in the future.
Awestrung Reloaded is an open-for-all free ticketed concert that is bringing together around 50 independent artists on one stage. A platform like Awestrung helps an upcoming artist in a tremendous way. It gives a chance to showcase your original production in front of a huge audience and provides a platform that makes your art accessible by the general public.

This will be the first time that Hungama Artist Aloud and I will be collaborating. I am glad that we came on board to work together on this magnificent project that fosters the growth of independent music in the country.
Live concerts such as Awestrung Reloaded work as a confidence booster for independent artists who otherwise don't get the platform or the acknowledgment for their talent and hard work.
