RollingStone India - March 2023

In this issue

Music legend A.R. Rahman graces our March 2023 cover along with the Top 24 artists he is mentoring from NEXA Music, a nationwide talent platform which scouts, mentors and amplifies independent musician writing and performing in the English language. NEXA Music is presented by Qyuki Digital Media.

The Grammy and Oscar-winning composer says, “I'm glad I'm part of this revolution. India is known for film music, classical music and folk music. But independent English-language music is probably the orphaned area, the ignored space.”

According to Rahman, the time has arrived to create the breeding ground for the next generation of artists. He says, “The right time for paving paths is now.”
