Kamakshi Khanna and Aditya Narayan

"We keep picking up from each other; it's the process that occurs each time you are performing in a group, even if it's the same set of people. You cue up from each other, go back home, rehearse, and return to learn a bit more. That's the advantage of working with a big group of singers. Which is also why you can't be stuck in the world of solos. In these ensembles, you watch each other work, which helps you understand what you can't objectively see yourself. And so, you can't compete with each other in a field like music as each artsite something unique to the table," says Aditya Narayan, who was a part of the debut show in 2015.

Besides, it also helps most of these now-full time musicians do something different. "I love composing and production. Six years into the industry and I'm mostly a studio guy now. This gig doesn't feel like work," Narayan shares, adding, "The Stage was a great platform for those who had just about stepped into the music industry. I had never had the chance to go on TV and sing in front of a camera, or rather 16 cameras. That's one thing we learnt, besides the kind of looks we should work on — things beyond the vocal aspect that you probably won't learn anywhere else." Kamakshi Khanna, Arish Bhiwandiwala, Isheeta Chakrvarty, Rimi Nique, Siddhant Sharma, Shaurya Singh and Zoe Siddharth are some of the other performers who will be taking the stage tomorrow.
