British Indian pop singer and songwriter Arzutraa prefers to sing in Hindi even when she is foreign land but her musical journey was not that easy. “My music journey has been very different from any other Hindi singer. Born and bred in the UK it was very hard to learn Hindi and get the right accent.”

“But my continuous efforts, practice, right guidance by my music director and support from my fans made me proficient in Hindi music. I’m still learning and take the feedback really seriously so you need to have a strong passion and it doesn’t matter where you live,” she told Opoyi.

Arzutraa grew up in Greenwich a suburb of London. Her parents are from Africa and grandparents from India who left India upon the partition of India in 1947.

Arzutraa was introduced to Bollywood music at a very young age by her father and since then there is no turning back for her. Even though she was not very fluent in Hindi, she learnt after continuously listening to her idol Shreya Ghoshal and Lata Mangeshkar.

However, at the start of her career, she received a lot of backlash from her peers and family for wanting to sing in Hindi rather than English but she paid no attention to them. She has collaborated with Dj Shadow Dubai for two songs in her latest album ‘Tumhaari’ and has recently announced her own skincare brand called “Arz Organic Beauty ” along with the launch of her third music album.

 Talking about the inspiration behind the song, she said, “the past years have been really unpredictable and we have seen the world change drastically. At the end of the day, it’s just us and our loved ones. So the inspiration behind my upcoming album is a celebration of love and romance with a blend of self-love.”

She also says that taste towards music has evolved a lot in the Indian music scene. “Rapping, remixes, and electronic music has changed Indian music over the years. It’s great I feel because it’s getting better every day with so much new talent coming up.”

She says that “Indian music is not too globally inspired” but has “its true essence which remains the same and the charisma of Indian classic is still found in today’s music.”
