“This is my small contribution to the society”, says Smitha. It was during the time India was opening up to pop music. She released her first music album Hai Rabb” in 2000. From then to now she has seen it all music piracy, opening up of digital space, online music streaming portals, the rise, fall and rise of independent music, she acted in films, operates a successful business and has always followed her own rules rather than industry trends.
Singer Smitha, as she is popularly referred to as has launched a new talk show Nijam’ Truth) on Sony Liv, which has a unique vibe and character. The show stands out for its illustrious and accomplished guests and the way they appear to be honest, opening up with their views, opinions and experiences, even as Smitha cajoles them into answering the most probing questions in her inimitably composed manner.
Socially, when I wanted to say something or comment, I wanted to say it through music, until Nijam, which is again a shift,” shares Smita in an exclusive interview.
“Before you figure out your comfortable spot everyone of us goes through a turbulence. When I would think of what is the best way to contribute to the society I would become vocal sometimes and say and comment on things without a filter. Then I realised that more than saying the best way is to design a right approach by being in the neutral space in your chair Nijam is that space for me. When I enter that space, I am neutral and let the guests speak.”
Smita is her usual unfiltered self in this interview and admits music is her constant in life, and she one day aspires to be international, which has been her desire from the time she started. Nijam’ is her contribution to society where she tells positive stories that are inspiring and ends them on a musical note a tribute to her true love.
