In the 90’s era, the Indie music scene in India was prominent with artists such as Shaan, Shankar Mahadevan and others who have shot to fame and entered the Bollywood industry. Musicians have always used music as a form to express themselves and independent musicians are able to do that in their own space.

After a lull in the early 2000’s, recently artists such as Ritviz, Prateek Kuhaad and others have brought the Indie music back to the forefront. But many of them are yet to be discovered.

And with this endeavour in mind, Songfest India, an artiste-first music content company has announced an online property, “Songfest Xplore” - an online video fete, where 12 artists will be selected to create music videos for their original compositions, from across India.

With Songfest’s expertise in producing world-class content, these talented creators will get a chance to launch their music video on Songfest India’s YouTube channel that has half a million subscribers. The entries can be in any language or genre. 

The selected entries will also be distributed on popular audio streaming platforms such as Spotify, Jio Saavn, Gaana, Apple Music and so on. The videos will be released from October to December 2021.

Songfest India has led the industry in promoting diverse, independent artists from across the country, giving them a platform to showcase their talent through branded collaborations – including placements in leading OTT shows. It has also worked with a roster of established names such as Shaan, Monali Thakur, Shashaa Tirupati and Nikhil D’souza.

The last date for submission is September 10, 2021.
