labels or the film production companiessonu nigam spoke about music mafia he said be nice to kids theyre scaredsonu spoke about it now ive been saying this for the last 78 years the thing is sonu is a product of the film industry im not a product of the film industry we both are looking at this from a different perspective i have never been supported by the film industry ever the main problem is that we have a film industry of which music is a small part we dont have a music industry music has never been an independent industry in this country it was always controlled by the film industry what is happening to the independent musician right now they arent getting any shows no money for recordings so is the government actually looking at that but then i realised how can the government help those people because its not an organised sector at all you can talk about daily wagers businessmen it sector but one cannot speak about the music sector because we dont have an organised industry what sonu is also saying is correct he knows more about the film industry as im not from the film industry i wouldnt know but i have a very different perspective what im saying is in this country if one has to create music why does it only have to be film music but then the problem is if a guy like me does independent music if i dont get the support or i dont get visibility people will never know that my music exists i hope i can do something about this it is extremely important for this country to have an independent music industry things have already gone out of control were only listening to songs that are remakes and thats happening because the people with money want that kind of music and nothing else they wont sell any other music everybody is responsible for this what im saying is people whove been working quietly for the film industry for many years who didnt raise their voice then they cannot complain nowsocial media is a great place for independent artists to showcase their talent but do labels and music companies give them opportunitiesof course a lot of artists do get picked up but its very complicated i dont think labels would want them to retain their originality they want that talent to come in and become clones of each other there are so many talented musicians even music directors and composers but eventually theyre all making songs that almost sound the same the control has to go away from labels and the film industry it has to go into the hands of the people im always saying this again and again we need a music industry thats streamlined and organised shirley thachil
