An untold saga of the biggest musical sensation in India “Artisttaan” with founder Aamir Kunwar

The India Saga Saga |

“While it’s true that Hip hop has always been around the corner but it only came to the forefront once it was brought together as a culture,” Says Aamir Kunwar who spearheaded the foundation and upbringing of Artisttaan, which in its truest sense has defined the future of music in India.

“Being the best wasn’t easy, but somebody had to do it.” He added when asked about his inspiration towards starting a music label as his passion towards music was undying and far beyond an obsession which led him to create the ultimate roster of artists that together, perfectly represented contemporary Indian music, a big part of which is now, Hip Hop.

While rap was often seen as a filler in a catchy pop song, Aamir and his (now) team at Artisttaan saw the huge potential in the genre and how perfecting it was the key to giving it to the masses, thus deciding to join forces and collectively pursue the stature of grandeur in this music Industry.

“I won’t say that we discovered Indian hip hop, as it did exist before us, but what we did was, ACTUALLY bringing it to the people and paving the way for other independent artists to spread the word as it was no longer ‘just music’, it was a lifestyle, our lifestyle and our generation, of which we spoke, that people could relate to so well, and there was no way it could not have been this big, and looking at it now, sky is the limit.” He added.

Artisttaan was more than a passion project from him, as he wanted it to be his life, so he decided to reach out to some of the artists in Delhi he saw online, putting out music, out of which one was Raga and once he had all the artists he needed there was no stopping him.

Together they managed to grab eyeballs with their 1st ever release which was ‘Jamnapaar’ by Harjas and Yawar which garnered over 10,000 views in a week and was also shared by artists like Raftaar and Badshah thus showing them the way to success ‘from the get-go’.

However, gathering masses like this wasn’t the 1st for Aamir as in his college years he developed a social media website named ‘Socialinga.com’ that managed to get over 20,000 users in a fortnight which he then had to shut down because of the unbearably high server maintenance cost that came with its ‘claim to fame’. He, later on, served as an SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) expert for sometime before starting up with Artisttaan as his full-time career and thus becoming an entrepreneur.

Only within a span of 3 years, Aamir has managed to, not only reach but also to stay at the top of the game with his team effort and ingenuity in putting out music that has set his name in stone when it comes to uplifting the community.

Seeing this rapport, it was only inevitable for Sony Music India to share its ties with Artisttaan, making it the 1st Indie Hip Hop label to be exclusively signed to them, thus turning a new leaf in Artisttaan’s never-ending conquest to the top.

The latest addition to their laurels is Raga’s debut album ‘Rap Ka Mausam’ which has definitely brought back the indie album culture where people would anticipate on an artist’s album rather than just discovering it and such a feat could’ve only been made possible on the back of solid and robust content which Artisttaan has always been known for.

Its only to look out for what they have next as Artisttaan never ceases to amaze its audience and with a diverse roster of its artists there’s an endless amount of possibilities of what they can do as a collective for not just hip hop but also for the Indian music scene at large as they clearly have the vision and its just a matter of time that it would materialize to be the biggest sensation in Indian music.

Travel Blogger Ishita and Rahul Is Taking “The Street Stalkers” To Next level

The India Saga Saga |

Ishita who works as an IT Engineer in a reputed MNC in Gurgaon has only weekends off, and Rahul who is into A Business of Medicines and additionally doing Print Shoots for some prominent Websites like Flipkart & Amazon could also only spare a little time over weekends. She is really fond of writing and capturing every tiny bit into a plethora of words, and he would try and capture the words and emotions into clicks which would later remind them of the beautiful moments spent together that they would cherish all life long. 

Little did we know, these stalking skills combined with the joint love for writing and photography would bring us here, where people like us, would actually take a cue from us before visiting any place. From cozy cafes to happening markets, to latest styles in budgets, to buying quality brands, we have done it all. 

Coming from a small town, and recently moved to a metro city like Gurgaon, we too were fascinated by the stuffs this place has to offer, so many malls, so many clubs, whereas back in our hometown Ambala, we do not even have one mall, Incase we ever wanted to buy something branded, we would either order it online, or head to Chandigarh which is at an hour’s drive to sot-he our shopaholic souls. 

We used to spend a lot of time, fascinated by the enormous place Delhi/NCR was, be it the lanes of Sarojini, or be it the street food from Chandni chowk, be it finding peace at Bangla sahib gurudwara, we would be always glued to stalking new places in the town to visit, and then spending our weekends to visit them. 

While in the initial days, we would just write notes on Facebook along with our pics for people to take cues and enjoy, and not just get bored in the hassle of the process. 

We had very humble beginnings. Someone from our friend circle at Facebook once shared a couple influencer’s picture with us, who would travel the world together. 

We were struck with this idea. We so wanted to do all of this. But we did not have the time, money, resources or any guidance to start. 

But we had the determination. So we began. Simple pictures with the phone. nothing big. Researching a lot and probably watching all videos on youtube on how to become a blogger. 

We were from a town, where people still do not know, what a blog is. So all we had to start was a youtube channel. We had very limited time, but we were in a happy space using that time to do, what made us happy. 

Both of us, from the very start, was very fashionable, trying new trends or curating worthy looks using affordable brands or stuff from flea markets. Slowly, we started posting pics on Instagram, simultaneously on facebook, trying to reach as many people as we could. 

The response was slow, but we were happy. We hit around 500 followers on Instagram. We were getting the game. We thought to invest in a good DSLR was the need of the hour, so we spent whatever savings we had, and bought one, and creating more content.

We were no professionals, but we were trying to be a creator and were passionate enough to use whatever resources and time we had to our best possible way. 

One of our pictures got featured on a page called ‘ITSTHELOVEPROJECT” wherein people shared their love stories. The page had around 60k followers around 600 pics and our picture got 13k likes and comments. That was insane. It motivated us way too much, and we decided to begin the blog on a very serious note. Next few months, we spent a lot of time on shoots, trying to reach out to brands, big small all kinds, and tried to be consistent and jug-led between work and our little piece of adventure. 

No brand would agree to work with us, initially but that did not deter us. We spent a lot of money and resources and kept creating content. 

We started sourcing from a few smaller brands on Instagram, and would create content. 

Slowly, the follower count started to grow. We felt motivated and worked more. God was in our favor and things started to fall in place. 

We were reached out by a very famous watch brand, and we were thrilled. That was our first paid collaboration. 

We have worked our asses off to reach where we are today, slogging every possible minute we could in the last 3 years that we have been blogging for. 

We started attending events and started meeting more new people from the industry. Some became friends, and others envious of the work we are doing. So a lot of hate and people from the same fraternity wouldn’t meet us at the events and would just boycott us. We have been bullied a lot. But we have never let that affect us in any manner. 

Watching us get all the love from our Social Media Family was what some people dint like & started Bullying us & making fun of us Public-ally but we never lost hope & kept sailing in the ship because of we always so much support & encouragement from our Lovely Audience. We are blessed to be The Street Stalkers & still working hard towards creating Good Content for the youth & influencing them in all the positive way.

Nargis Magazine – A different take on Fashion

The India Saga Saga |

If you are keen to read a clutter-free, well-curated statement on the worlds of fashion, art, beauty, history and the happenings around us, you need to log on to Nargis!

There is no dearth of women’s fashion magazines in the world, which inspired the publishers of Nargis to move away from the usual formats associated with such magazines. Diversity, paired with uniqueness and exclusivity, is the hallmark of this publication, which undertakes to “open up unlimited opportunities for enlightenment in various fields of culture.” Nargis magazine doesn’t look at fashion in the air-brushed manner as most of its competitors do. Its publishers have deliberately created a socially-informed fashion image for itself and, departing from the prevalent stereotypes, the magazine offers a plunge to its readers not just into the world of fashion but into that of culture, art, history, etc. 

“I want to own everything, which means to own nothing.” This cryptic quote of legendary German novelist, Erich Maria Remarque, is something you are unlikely to associate with a magazine for Fashion, Art & Beauty. However, a popular magazine of Azerbaijan, Nargis, is different than most of its competition. That is why you will find this quote on top of its editorial for the month of August issue. Perhaps these are the words that set the tone for someone who would be new to this publication, in existence since 2012.

Seeking implementation of special projects and public campaigns, Nargis boasts of providing a unique opportunity to a creative person to have an enriching “exchange of thoughts, familiarization with the different and original ideas. Ulviyya Makhmudova, its gorgeous Editor-in-Chief at present, feels proud to present Nargis as a “publication born out of the coordinated work of a talented and creative team.” Her editorials, as mentioned above, are a delight to read, as is the whole magazine, which has content on topics as diverse as Fashion, Travel, Relationships, Beauty, History, Art, Brands, Cinema and whatnot! From the first issue of the magazine itself, it has also published an array of interviews with celebrities from different fields like designing, theater, academics, etc. With a printed issue in Russian language and 3 web versions in Azerbaijani, Russian & English, the magazine has a global reach and readership.
