Maruti Suzuki India Limited has just announced the launch of the Nexa Music Season 2, following the success of their previous season. Nexa music is a unique initiative which promotes aspiring musicians of India by creating a platform for them to create original international global standard English music and showcase their talent.
Nexa music season 1 received over 1000 entries globally. In the past season, the format of this initiative involved 24 contestants who were shortlisted by a jury composed of A.R Rahman, Nexa and Qyuki. They were then mentored by renowned musicians like A.R. Rahman. These musicians then went on to release songs and music videos and eventually even an on-ground music event. The music and videos created last season garnered over 75 million views on the Nexa Music YouTube channel. Eventually, two dedicated playlists were also created, one with the 10 marquee songs from headline artists and super winners and the other with 24 Songs from Lab artists on leading audio streaming sites like Spotify, Amazon Music and Apple Music.
This season will feature big names like music composer Mikey McCleary and celebrity artists duo Clinton Cerejo and Bianca Gomes (Shor Police), Uday Benegal, and Monica Dogra. The point is to find unique voices and brilliant talent across the country. Like Indian Idol but by Maruti. Feel like you are talented enough? Time for you to sign up!
