Nikhil Chinapa: Having well-curated artiste lineup doesnt require emphasis on international names #IndiaNEWS #Entertainment
<br>The event will see the whos who of the music world such as American rapper Tyga, English singer Anne-Marie and Nigerian singer-songwriter CKay among many others.
About how important is it to add international names, Chinapa told IANS: Its not. Having a well-curated artist lineup doesnt require an emphasis on international names. That said, curating a lineup with artists you dont normally get to witness, is a part of our plan. This includes Indian artists who havent been to Pune as well as international talent visiting India.
Chinapa is one of the most prominent faces in the music world. He is credited with popularising Electronic Dance Music (EDM) among the Indian youth. He is also known as the Father of Indian Dance Music for his various contributions towards revolutionising the outlook of Dance Music in the country.
Talking about his favourite hotspots where hes performed and the best venues for performance in the country, Chinapa said: It depends on what we call the room which is more than the venue, its also the people, the vibe, the soundsystem etc. The best rooms are the ones where people come for music, as opposed to selfies. Im not hating on selfies in a club though or wait, maybe I am but just a little bit!
What is that one thing that is missing in the music scene in India?
The 49-year-old, who has been instrumental in popularising DJing as a profession, answered: Quality music journalism and significantly fewer selectors (music curators, playlist geeks, culture visionaries) than what I would expect a music population as large as ours to have.
