GenZ pop singer-songwriter Ridi Oswal is making everyone’s head turn with her popular melodies Merry Go Round, and Happier opened up about her musical journey. At the young age of nineteen years, the singer has earned a dedicated fanbase, amassing over 65,000 monthly listeners on platforms like Spotify for her incredible talent. The singer who released her single Guilty Feet in January shared some insights on the making process of the single. In a recent interview with The Indian Express, the singer unveils a lot of facts. Let’s check out the complete details of this story.
Ridi Oswal talked about her musical journey
The singer said of her recent single Guilty Feet, “Growing up as someone who was blessed enough to experience so many different beautiful cultures, I saw how some cultures (including the Indian culture) made girls especially feel ashamed of having certain desires and expressions. I believe a woman has a right to want to feel beautiful, strong, and independent, which is the whole crust of Guilty Feet, hence the word guilty, incorporating this Indian touch with tabla and sitar. I was hoping to empower young Indian women, of course, all women, as well. No one should feel ashamed of wanting self-expression and independence.”
Alongwith following her passion she is also pursuing a degree in chemical engineering in London. The singer also explained that the “fusion music is a reflection of my own life” making a blend of Eastern and Western culture.
“Growing up with a rich Indian heritage while immersed in Western culture allowed me to appreciate and combine different musical styles. This blend feels natural to me; it’s a way to express my dual identity and connect with listeners who, like me, live between worlds. Music always helped me express myself in ways that words couldn’t,” Ridi noted.
Talking about the inception of her journey the singer who started her musical journey at the age of eight attended a music academy in New York and was taught Jazz and Opera.
“That’s when I knew that I wanted to continue in music. At 9, I attended a boarding school in Switzerland – this was not an easy experience; I couldn’t figure out at first how to balance all my passions, and I couldn’t figure out who I truly was. I was transferring schools a lot and couldn’t find my true voice, but music always felt permanent, and that’s when I found a true friend in songwriting and singing,” said the 19-year-old.
Needless to say, Ridi is gradually becoming one of the best Gen-z of this era.
