For the Love of Music—In Conversation with EDM Artist, Zephyrtone
Hi and welcome to a fresh new segment of Indian Talk. Finally, what all of us have been waiting for. Today we have none other than Zephyr and Zion together known as Zephyrto Own are the cute couple duo as their older Instagram biored. Joining us beginning their journey as the youngest electronic pop duo in India back in 2015. Experimenting with a wide range of genres and composing super catchy peppy numbers and covers. They have come a long way from millions of views on YouTube to MTVEMA nominations
Zephyrtone

But he was so stubborn to the point, he gave me an explanation saying, Zeffer means by the seashore. It describes the kind of music we create, the soothing music that relaxes the mind. Eventually I was like, five years. That's very apt. As you wish
Aishani Chatterjee
@Aishani · 0:36
Oh, that's quite a story. And I have to say that I totally, totally agree with San because I really love your name and Zephyrtone sounds amazing. I love the ring of offered. So yeah, perfect decision. Have you always been passionate about pop or EDM or was there something or someone who kind of inspired you or sparked your interest in this particular genre of music
Zephyrtone
@Zephyrtone · 0:48
We are passionate about music. Like any genre, it does not matter as long as it sounds beautiful. So what sparked your interest in this particular genre of music? I would say the electronic dance music era. Back when we started our career it was all about electronic dance music. Edm was everywhere. Edm was at its peak. Everyone wanted to be an electronic dance music producer DJ. So did we
Aishani Chatterjee
@Aishani · 0:51
Yeah. Consistency is the key, right. And I mean, it shows with all the success, the praise, the feeling that you're enjoying now, it shows that you have the been consistent with it, you have been at it. And that's why you're here. Can you tell me a little bit about the music scenario in India when you started out? Like, I'm pretty sure it wasn't all rosy and smooth sailing for you back then
Zephyrtone
@Zephyrtone · 1:47
There's favoritism in the music industry. They only support artists whom they like and with whom they are in good terms with which we personally feel is unfair and biased. So in this process, the music becomes secondary. And that's very sad. Yes, it was difficult for us initially and still is, since we didn't have any contacts and we didn't know anyone personally in the industry. Unfortunately, no things in the music industry, it hasn't changed. Favoritism is still a thing
Aishani Chatterjee
@Aishani · 1:19
It indeed is sad Zepho. That not just the music industry. I think in a lot of sectors, we see this reign of favoritism and bias, which presents a lot of hurdles and even stops new talent from getting discovered. New true raw talent from getting discovered. And that really does break my heart. But yes, definitely. Thank goodness for those handful of genuine people who actually believe in giving everyone a fair chance
Zephyrtone
@Zephyrtone · 0:41
We are inspired by something new every day. It's a smooth process for us. Surprisingly, we never have conflicts of ideas while working on a project for us. It's never like, you know, we have to keep kill this song right now. No, it happens out of creative fun. It's always a result of an impromptu jam session. We are like, this sounds beautiful. Wow. This sounds nice. Wow. And suddenly we have a song, song ready
Aishani Chatterjee
@Aishani · 1:01
Okay. As I say it, you guys sound like absolute couple goals, the compatibility, the sharing of interest. And yes, I completely, completely agree that a creative process needs to be taken at its own pace instead of trying to achieve something right at the moment. Or as you said, killing the track right now because that, in my opinion, doesn't ever work. We all know that you've performed extensively in College, Fest and easens, and went on quite a few music tours
Shashwat Amonkar
@Shashwat21 · 0:37
Hey Aishani and Hello Zephyrtone. First of all, I would start by saying that these are some incredible, EDM music tracks that I've heard and I truly love the way you people put it up together as a whole. So my question to you people is like you being at the stage of getting bigger and better as time passes by every single day, who is your dream collab? Like, who is the person you would love to do a collab with? And you have that in your head
Zephyrtone
@Zephyrtone · 0:31
Well, it's always an overwhelming experience to perform anywhere across the country. But we feel the northeast and down south cities like Hyderabad, Kerala, Bangalore, or the energy they give back is unreal. They know how to really have a good time. And with that, I want to add how we are trying to get back on tour and perform on stage. I can't wait. I goodness

Aishani Chatterjee
@Aishani · 0:59
Yes. Like once covered is maybe a little more in control. Please go back on tour. I'm from Kohl Kata and I would love to see you perform am here as well. Okay, so this is like my last question and I wanted to ask you from all your beautiful singles and covers, which one is your personal favorite? Like a song that you feel connected to the most? Know what?
You guys will get so much success in future because I saw that your work is really commendable. Your songs are really commendable. And my question is are you guys planning to do a collab with the trending YouTubers such as Irshbangla with their Vox kind of YouTubers? And also what's your take? Increasing popularity of the K pop music genre. Like what's your take? Are you guys planning to make a collab with Kpop genre?

So. Hi, guys. I have listened the things above. And to be honest, I really, really find that Zephyrtone is a very catchy name. So I didn't find that it is a boring name, to be honest. And the second thing, I really want it to us, that how it feels like when you see that thousands, not even thousands, like, millions of people follow you on Instagram and listen to your music
Hi Zephyrtone, I love listening to your interview and I love finding out about your origin, your process. I had a question. Since the pandemic, a lot of people have been experiencing creative fatigue since there has been in a change of environment. So how did you find that inspiration during the lockdown, during the pandemic where everybody was down and life wasn't as exciting as it used to be? What was your process then

@itsoliviaaaa · 0:45

And I love that feeling. And you, you guys have been one of the most prominent figures till date. And no wonder you'll be reaching your Zenith in just no time. And I want to see that

Hey, Aishani. And yes, the wellknown, music artists that do. And the band name is Zephyrtone. And there's a big cheers for this band also. Well, you have created absolutely music that reaches our hearts. So I would like firstly, thanks to you guys and Ashley about those words and the conversations that we have on this. Well, so my question to you guys, I mean to Zephyrtone is that would you consider more making a music towards the Heaven Trap or a psychedelic music?

Hello, I'm Prince this side. So I would like to ask you, like, what is what is your inspiration? What inspires you? And also, like, what is the advice that you would give to the upcoming artists
Ritika Pahuja
@ritikapahuja · 0:25
Hi Zephyrtone, first of all, I am literally obsessed with your wife Zephyrtone. And I remember I literally got goosebumps when I first saw your real on Instagram. So just a quick question. Since your music is quite different, did you ever experience criticism related to that? And if yes, then how did you deal with that negativity and process that criticism either on social media or on your live performances
Divyangana Haldar
@Divyangana · 1:07
I wanted to ask that about any piece of advice that you received from any other artist when you started off with your career, when things were difficult and you had this motivation from the words or what you followed us to be successful and how you didn't give up on your dreams, because I think a lot of people give up their dreams at the beginning of their journey because a lot of negative comments come and people try to take away your dreams and they don't support you. You in the beginning
Roohi Kumar
@roohikumar10 · 0:18
Hi, I'm Roohi. It was wonderful listening to you. So my question is from all your singles and covers, which are your personal top three? Also, which song do you feel most is connected to
Zephyrtone
@Zephyrtone · 1:13
We started to build this community. We started to connect with our audience like never before. Numbers are going up and now that the shows are off, our aim is to reach more people with our music through social media. So during the Pandemic, we decided to make the most of it. We got more time in our hands to work on original releases. As a result, we released seven songs along with music videos during the Panama and we couldn't be more proud
Zephyrtone
@Zephyrtone · 0:12

Hi Zephyrtone. So I have been listening to your music for quite a while now and I genuinely love it so much. Like it's really, really good. So my question is, during your journey of success, you must have received some kind of of negativity. So how did you deal with it? And my other question is, will you pursue any other genre other than idiom in future
Hey guys so now as you are famous so how that feels like do you guys have pressure

Hey, Zafar than Joe the side. And I also love music. I did music production and making grabbed and all that stuff. And the thing with me is I also love classical music, but and on the other side, I used to make modern rap beats, EDM and all that stuff. So is there any side of you who loves classical music or is somehow related to old and retro music? So this is my question to you. I and I hope that you have a nice day
I'm also a big fan of music. And I want to know what is your playlist of EDM and pop songs, which going right now. So that will be a huge we can see the gift for me if you tell me your playlist. That was so great because I'm so fond of music. And I really like them listening music when it gives me certain type of strength. And I really love to listen your songs, too. Thank you so much
His effect on I was really moved hearing to you both. My question to you is that just like love is said, that it has no boundaries, no religion. Music is set to follow the same. How will you you describe your thoughts on this
Hey, how's it going? This is Taylor. I'm a first time listener and I actually found out about your music from a friend. And I'm from California, and when I was in high school, I was really, really big in the EDM scene. Edc was still here before they moved it to Las Vegas. And I just loved it so much. Not that I don't anymore, but I was just super into it and I really loved that
