He took to music as fish takes to water, thanks to his rich legacy of music that runs through his bloodline. Mithoon Sharma believes in spreading the warmth of his heart by virtue of his melodious music. The 32-yearold composer, singer, arranger, lyricist is a multitalented icon to many young aspirants in the industry, merely not for nothing. He consciously avoids adhering to the popular adage, ‘work hard, party harder’ and rather prefers to ruminate over his creations in isolation. More of a thinker than a talker, his pondering, expressive eyes say it all. In conversation with Score, this tunesmith recollects his decade-long journey and shares about his musical genes, influence of Lakshmi-Pyare, degeneration of lyrics, guest composing, quest for new voices in the industry, musical barter with contemporaries, introduction to Indian cricket spinmaster Harbhajan Singh as a singer and many more on record.
Congratulations for completing 11 years in the mainstream music industry. When you look back, how do you evaluate your journey?
In hindsight, it all appears to me as a very tiny speck on the canvas of my journey so far. It all passed too quickly with memories flashing before my eyes. It’s been more than a decade now and many hits have happened along the way with a lot of accolades falling into my kitty. However, I still feel I haven’t accomplished even 1% of what I want to do or how I would like to contribute through my music. So, plenty is yet to come and miles to cross ahead. Just wait and watch!
People dub you reclusive. But with increasing stage shows and your active presence in social media, do you think your interaction with the audiences is more at a personal level now?
Well you see, I have been described as a reclusive person right from the start. During the initial phase of my career I’d like to mention that I was definitely very media shy and would not make any communication whatsoever with my listeners apart from the music I would be doing then. Deep down I feel, I’m more of a private person than people’s. It is only in recent years that I have really opened up and connected with my audiences through music. I have kind of broken that secluded shell to come out and mingle freely. This interaction was necessary not just for any commercial purpose but I guess as an artiste, I have some responsibility towards my ardent loyal fans, who are like die-hard faithful followers.
You have a spiritual bent of mind and your music also occasionally replicates that streak. How do you connect with God? Do you follow any daily ritual like offering prayers or meditation?
