Ever wondered how Brian Tyler, Bruno Mars inspire Marathi music?

Composer duo Sai-Piyush had a successful 2018. From composing music for a recent single ‘Jhilmil’ sung by Salim Merchant, to films like Aaron, Lagna Mubarak etc. they were on roll in the music industry. But when asked where do they draw their song writing and musical inspiration from, they had both – international and desi names to take.

“We listen to quite a lot of Indie and commercial, pop, experimental and rock music.There are a lot of inspirations and influences when it comes to our music. Right from Hans Zimmer, Brian Tyler to Bruno Mars and Ariana Grande, bands like Ananthaal, Funktuation and Indian musicians like R.D. Burman and Bappi Lahiri, Salim Sulaiman and Vishal Shekhar everyone we listen to inspire us,” says the duo.
This, they believe helps paint music with a huge spectrum of the sounds and genres. However, it is not just established names they look up to. “If there is something to be inspired from an upcoming or a new artist in the industry or anywhere else too, why not get motivated and inspired. Being in a creative field, we need to be open to every idea which we think we might get inspired from,” they add.
