On World Music Day, singer-songwriter-composer Anuv Jain reflects on a relationship that has remained an anchor through life’s changing seasons.
For him, music has been a constant, a space where emotions found meaning, difficult phases became easier to navigate, and deeply personal experiences resonated with listeners who discovered parts of their own stories in his songs.He says, “Music has always been much more than a profession for me.
It’s been a way of expressing emotions I sometimes couldn’t put into words.
Whether it was happiness, confusion, love or heartbreak, music gave me a space to understand myself better.
Over the years, it has become a constant companion and a way to connect with people on a deeply human level.
What I find really beautiful is that a song can mean something different to every listener, yet still bring us together.”While social media and streaming platforms have transformed music discovery, Anuv feels listeners still seek sincerity in what they hear.
He shares, “A lot of listeners come across songs through reels, short videos or playlists.
Technology has changed the way we find music, but I still think the emotions people look for in music haven’t really changed.”World Music Day also celebrates the bond between artistes and audiences, something Anuv values deeply while performing live.
He says, “Hearing an audience sing your songs back to you is a special feeling.
I do get nervous before every performance, and I think that’s natural.
It shows that I care about giving my best.
But the moment I step on stage and start singing with them, those nerves usually turn into excitement.”For him, music’s most enduring quality is its ability to help people navigate difficult times. “Music has an incredible ability to heal.
It may not solve every problem, but it can help us process emotions and make us feel less alone.
There have been moments in my life when writing songs helped me understand what I was going through.
It’s incredibly meaningful when listeners tell me that those songs helped them through difficult times as well.
That’s one of the most rewarding parts of making music,” he concludes.Read the latest Entertainment News and Celebrity updates.
