Exclusive conversation with FACE

Tanishq Singh had an exclusive conversation with FACE a few days back. He talked about his love for music and how he got his stage name. He had a short conversation with FACE, which is as under:

1. With youngsters struggling to decide on the career they want to pursue, you made a name for yourself at such a young age. What was it that made you realise your love for music or the fact that you want to be an artist?

Tanishq shared, “At the age of 16, I had to help my family as an elder son and had to start a career soon. My upbringing played a crucial role in this journey because I have been around music ever since I got my senses. Being around elders brought maturity in my life, too. So, thanks to my parents, I first felt like writing something in 2014, when I was just 16.

As an artist, I would like to say that I have always been an artist because I have participated in all sorts of activities I could ever encounter in my school journey. From sports to art, everything! So, this artistic soul has always been there. After getting to know the music side of hip-hop, I realised that I want to be an artist in this field and inclined myself towards hip-hop.

2. You captured the hearts of millions in those 10 weeks and caused a stir after gaining the title of MTV Hustle 2.0’s first runner-up. And for your first performance post the show, more than 15k fans showed up to support you. How overwhelming was all that sudden love and fame for you?

It was surprising at that time, but I knew that this would happen because of my intuition. And as surprising as it may sound, 2 years back, I had already predicted this in one of my songs “Paradiction”, which means Paradox + Prediction.

3. Rappers are usually known by their stage name more than their original name, and sometimes, people aren’t even aware of their most loved artist’s actual name. So, what’s the story behind your stage name- Paradox?

It was around the time when Badshah Bhaiya’s song “Heartless” was released, and I heard that song till the end and found this word there, on the book cover. This is how I decided to use it as my stage name.

4. What do you think about the current state of the rap industry in India?

The rap industry is growing, and I see people accepting this culture. The future of this industry is bright.

5. Your first track, “Perfy” from the latest EP- The Unknown Letter, is receiving massive love from the audience. You also gave a sneak peek of the then-unreleased track at the Sunburn Festival. From what we understand, the song is about falling in love and the overwhelming happiness that comes from finding your perfect match. What do you think makes the track stand out from other rap songs that we listen to, and what more can your fans expect from the upcoming tracks of The Unknown Letter?

Its simplicity! The fact that the main part was written by a 16-year-old. I feel that is something to be cherished. It is a song that gives you a pleasant vibe. It simply makes you feel sorted and beautiful. And I would just say that expect the unexpected, not just from the EP, but everything in the future.

This was all about the conversation with the young rapper Tanishq Singh. His huge success shows how he turned himself from an ordinary person to a famous rapper.
