Independent music has evolved over the years: Rohan Solomon

Singer-songwriter Rohan Solomon talks about his 20 year journey as an independent musician and his recently released album Strung Out To Dry

Having been in the music industry for more than two decades, Delhi-based artiste Rohan Solomon has seen its evolution up close. This is also why the singer-songwriter is glad he stuck to the indie space.

Delhi based singer-songwriter Rohan Solomon has released his third studio album, Strung Out To Dry, recently.

“Independent music has witnessed significant growth over the years,” says Solomon, who recently released his third album, Strung Out To Dry. He elaborates, “Today, there is the element of social media that can be used to promote and market our music. It’s a great tool to communicate a message to the audience. There are also so many more venues for live shows than there were back in the day; so even that is a welcome change.”

Moreover, the internet offers a way to connect with one’s listeners on a personal level, which Solomon feels can be a powerful tool for indie artistes. “Answering DMs, responding to comments, putting out a personal message through a video, etc. — these things help you form a better bond with your fan base and help it grow. It’s a great tool, but you need to know how to use it,” says the Delhi-based singer.
