Aniz Gupta on the Inspiration Behind 210
Aniz says, “210 comes from a very raw and personal emotional space. I didn’t want to create something that simply sounded good. I wanted it to feel cinematic, emotionally intense, and visually memorable. This track represents the kind of sound and world I want to build as an artist.”
He adds, “The song is more than just a single for me. It is an important step in shaping my creative identity as an artist. I want people to connect not only with the music but also with the emotion, visuals, and storytelling that come together to create the entire experience.”
Nikkesha Rangwala on Her Role in the Project
For Nikkesha Rangwala, the project stood out because of its atmosphere and storytelling. She says, “What drew me to '210' was its mood and treatment. It has an emotionally charged energy that immediately pulls you in. The visual language felt contemporary while still staying rooted in the Punjabi music space, which made the experience exciting for me.”
Over the years, Nikkesha has appeared in several Punjabi music videos, including projects featuring artistes like Karan Aujla. With '210', Aniz aims to focus equally on music and storytelling, reflecting a growing shift within the Punjabi independent music scene, where visual narratives and aesthetics are becoming just as important as the music itself.
This release underscores the evolving landscape of independent Punjabi music, where artists are increasingly blending traditional sounds with modern production and cinematic storytelling. Aniz Gupta's '210' is now available on all major streaming platforms.
