Randolph Correia On Solo Projects: ‘This Being Personal Is Like My Other Side'

The Mumbai-based guitarist and producer dropped a total of five new records last month

When we get on a call to speak to Mumbai-based guitarist and producer Randolph Correia, he’s back in the room at his parents’ place, where he recorded the first couple records for electro-rock outfit Pentagram, initial Func albums as well as the early material for his pop electronic duo Shaa’ir and Func. He says, “I’m with mum and dad so it’s a nice atmosphere spending time with folks because it’s getting pretty intense [with the pandemic].” While the seasoned artist surprised us last year by dropping an EP and two albums under the moniker Girls On Canvas, last week Correia went ahead and repeated himself by releasing new music, however, this time as the alias Blitch.

One of the reasons the musician sunk his teeth into churning out an exorbitant amount of material was to combat the negativity surrounding us at the moment. “That’s all I’ve been doing to stay positive,” he says.
