Prasoon Joshi

Prasoon Joshi, lyricist, poet, ad-man was approached by the organizers of the MTV India Music Summit to pen a unique anthem to reflect the ethos of the event. Speaking about the anthem, he said, “The focus was on to highlight how this Summit is a confluence of ideas and influences and artists who bring their own unique touch to the art of music and make it their own. It’s a meditation on the transcendental nature of music and the richness that it brings to our lives just with a few notes. It's that one magical note, the 'Saccha Sur' that every musician seeks. And what could’ve have been better than to have a genius artist like Shankar composing and lending his voice to this humble tribute to music. If this is how we’re kicking off the summit, one can only imagine the wonders that await us in Jaipur!”

Designed to dissolve the distance between the stage and the audience, where the energy of the music, musicians and music lovers becomes one, the Summit aims to create new sound and content, get artistes out of their comfortable templates, disrupt the existing myths surrounding genres and create platforms to showcase themselves the way the world hasn’t seen or heard before.
