Sudanshu Pandey Reflects On Changes In Music Industry As Band Of Boys Makes A Comeback
Band of Boys, who were one of the most popular musical acts in India in the early 2000s. As they prepare to make a comeback, Sudanshu Pandey reflects on how the music industry has changed since their heyday.
The Rise of Digital Streaming
One of the biggest changes in the music industry has been the rise of digital streaming platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube. These platforms have made it easier for artists to distribute their music and reach a wider audience. However, they have also made it harder for artists to earn a living from their music, as streaming royalties are often much lower than traditional sales.
“When we first started out, physical album sales were still the main source of revenue for artists,” says Pandey. “But now, with streaming, it’s a different ballgame. We have to adapt and find new ways to monetize our music.”
The Importance of Social Media
Another major change in the music industry has been the rise of social media. Platforms like Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok have become essential tools for artists to connect with their fans and promote their music. However, they have also created new pressures for artists to constantly create content and engage with their followers.
“Social media has definitely changed the game,” says Pandey. “It’s a great way to stay connected with our fans, but it can also be a lot of work. We have to be strategic about how we use it and make sure we’re not spreading ourselves too thin.”
The Challenges of Making a Comeback
As the Band of Boys prepares to make their comeback, they are aware of the challenges they face in a music industry that has changed dramatically since their last album. However, they are also excited about the opportunities that new technologies and platforms have created for artists.
“We know it’s not going to be easy,” says Pandey. “But we’re passionate about our music and we believe in what we’re doing. We’re excited to see where this new chapter takes us.”
The Band of Boys is currently working on new music and plans to release a new album later this year. They are also planning to tour and perform live shows, which they believe is still the best way to connect with their fans.
“At the end of the day, it’s all about the music,” says Pandey. “We’ve been through a lot together as a band, and we’re just grateful to have the opportunity to make music again and share it with the world.”
As the Band of Boys makes their comeback, they are a reminder that even in a changing music industry, great music and passionate artists will always find a way to connect with their audience. Here’s to the next chapter in their musical journey.
