Akhilesh Nagar (24) is a young star in the making. He is a writer, composer as well as singer. In the lockdown, he has released a new song titled ‘Lifeline’, written and sung by him only. He is pursuing his master degree, besides devoting equal time to music.

This talented music lover has also been writing and composing songs during the lockdown and is spending almost the entire day in creating new ideas and penning down songs on new and different subjects. “The moment some normalcy returns, I will start work in full swing,” the singer said.

His musical journey started with his first video song ‘Chann’ that was released in 2017. “After this song, companies started approaching me and then there was no looking back,” he shared, adding that one of the most famous and appreciated songs was ‘Gussa’, for which Nagar had given the music.

“I am not someone who wants to release back to back songs, but my focus remains on producing good ones and provide real content to my audience,” Nagar expressed.

When asked what does he likes the most, singing, writing or composing, the answer came swiftly, “Mujhe art se pyar hai (I love art). Even if I don’t know how to paint, I can look at a painting for long if it amazes me, this is how I respect the art and artists. So, in the same way, I always enjoy every process of making the song, be it writing, or composing.”

Nagar said he was his own critic too. “I can repeat the whole process of composition of a song many times, until I get satisfied. My effort is to take best out of me,” he explained, adding that now his focus is on completing his studies first and then make his name in the music industry.
