The song, he informs, came to be as a result of Rishaad\u2019s own experiences as well as those of others about how love can have a huge impact on us.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Tu\" width=\"1080\" height=\"810\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/BusFWLxljAo?feature=oembed\"  allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>He says the beat for \u2018<em>Tu<\/em>\u2019 really struck out for him as it has a happy yet gloomy melody and tune. \u201cAfter deciding the beat, I thought of the chorus of the song. I was slowly able to bring the harmony together with elements of <em>desi<\/em> rap,\u201d explains the singer, about what all went into the making of the song.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Musical journey<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>Rishaad was born in Geneva, where his father was transferred for a job opportunity in 1997. The family, however, returned to India later and settled down in Gurgaon. The budding singer went to Shri Ram school Aravali, Gurgaon, and then to La Martiniere, Lucknow. \u201cHaving spent a major part of his school life at the boarding school, I made lifelong friends and memories, along with gaining important life lessons which I believe are of use to me till today and will be for the rest of my life,\u201d says the youngster, who is currently studying Business in OP Jindal Global University, Sonepat.<\/p>\n<p>Rishaad began writing songs in the pop\/hip hop genre. \u201cAs I grew as a musician, I delved into rap as well as Hindi songs. I initially did not choose rap and was inclined only towards singing. However, after listening to the kind of music my generation and target audience listen to, I gave rap a shot as well and found my niche in it,&#8221; he says. His previous song \u2018<em>Khafa<\/em>\u2019 echoes the pain of longing. \u2018<em>Not Alright<\/em>\u2019 and \u2018<em>I\u2019m Sorry<\/em>\u2019 are also two of his most popular previous releases.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-20470 aligncenter lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.globalindian.com\/youth\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20200827-143938_orig.jpg\" alt=\"Singer | Rishaad Chaudhry | Global Indian\" width=\"626\" height=\"470\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 626px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 626\/470;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-20470 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.globalindian.com\/youth\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20200827-143938_orig.jpg\" alt=\"Singer | Rishaad Chaudhry | Global Indian\" width=\"626\" height=\"470\" \/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>Not Alright<\/em> is a song for everyone who is putting up a happy face for the world but is struggling within themselves. I wrote this song to remind everyone to be kind because we can never know what is happening in someone else\u2019s life. \u2018I\u2019m Sorry\u2019 is an apology for all the wrongs I did while being hurt in love,\u201d informs Rishaad.<\/p>\n<p>The music he has been listening to over the years has had a huge impact on the way Rishaad began to make his own. \u201cI am a huge fan of the rap, pop, and hip-hop genre as well as Indie Hindi music. Some of the artists I have been listening to for years, including 21 Savage, Powerful, Drake, The Kid Laroi, Juice Wrld, Zaeden, and Yashraj have inspired me to showcase my take,\u201d says Rishaad, who also performed in his high school band. The youngster believes rap is a genre that has become increasingly popular among the people of his generation. \u201cThis inspired me to incorporate the genre into my songs.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Finding his voice<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>With his music, says Rishaad, he intends to connect with people and allow them to connect as an audience. \u201cLife is full of ups and downs, and no one should feel as if they are alone on this roller coaster ride,\u201d says the singer, who is looking forward to travelling abroad to obtain a degree in digital marketing, which will assist him in his career as a musician.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Rishaad - Khafa\" width=\"1080\" height=\"810\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qdyApGuz3WA?feature=oembed\"  allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>So what more tracks are in the making? \u201cCurrently, I am working on an English song, its working title is\u00a0 \u2018<em>Broke My heart<\/em>\u2019.
