‘Music Should Not Always Be For The Audience,’ Says Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Fame Abhijeet Ghoshal
“Not every song is meant to go viral,” says Abhijeet Ghoshal, challenging the very idea of what makes music valuable. “Some music is meant first for the divine, not for listeners.”
The Sa Re Ga Ma Pa record-holder, with eleven consecutive wins, believes that creation is a responsibility as much as a gift. “Not everyone is blessed with the ability to sing, dance, or create. If you are, why not dedicate your first work to the source that gave it to you?” he asks.
In a landscape dominated by numbers, streams, and trends, Abhijeet draws a line between fleeting popularity and timeless art. “We live in a time when songs are measured in views and shares. But a truly meaningful song begins as an offering. That is where the real joy lies,” he explains.
He adds that music must first touch the artist’s own soul. “Music should soothe, relax, and comfort you before it reaches anyone else. When you connect to that inner calm, you connect to something higher,” Abhijeet says.
Even when composing fun or commercial tracks, he feels the same divine guidance at work. “Whether a bhajan or a playful song, God allows it to flow through you. That is the first blessing of creation,” he shares.
For Abhijeet, the ultimate measure of success is not virality, but enduring value. “Hit songs fade, trends vanish, but when your music starts as devotion, it leaves a mark beyond charts or applause,” he says.
Devotional bhajans, live concerts, classical compositions, playful tracks. Abhijeet Ghoshal thrives across every dimension of music. With recent releases like Superfast Hanuman Chalisa, Woh Hai Maa and Clubmix Shiv Tandav, he proves that true artistry is about creating work that connects, inspires, and stands the test of time.
