with Indian Classical Vocalist Bhaggesh Marathe, where he talks about his
musical journey, a surname to live up to and his love for sports.

This is
Bhaggesh Marathe. I pursued a degree in Bachelors of Information Technology
(IT) from K.C College. I have a special interest in sports and I like
playing football and running is passion. Politics is something that does not interest me
- What are you currently doing professionally?
I m a professional Indian classical vocalist. I perform in India
as well as internationally and also train students who have keen interest in
music.
- What made you choose this career?
As my family from
last 3 generations is into music, I actually could not think of anything as my
career as I was born and bought up with music.
- What kind of Music do you enjoy?
I love all type of and all genres of music. All kinds of music is
always great but our ears gets attracted to specific kind of music the reason
might be our surroundings or the culture that
we are brought up in. Personally I enjoy Indian
classical and Jazz music.
- Having a legacy of Music , has it helped you in any ways to make a mark in the field?
Yes, of course having a legacy helps any artist to make a mark in
any field. The basic struggle which others have to face is comparatively less
to those who have a legacy in the field, but there are also some drawbacks as
well as people expect something extra ordinary from you and meeting their
expectations, sometimes can be a challenge
- What is your take on the importance Classical Music has been given today? Is it receiving the respect that it earlier had?
Classical music is immortal. It will never
die, it will only blossom. I think people respect classical music more than
before. Earlier it was not done commercially. Earlier concerts were mostly free
and artists fees were not that high. Nowadays artists charge a maximum
budget and sponsors are always supportive for any concerts.
- Apart from Singing , what do you do in your past time? Apart from singing I jog, socialize and attend concerts etc.
- Perks of choosing your career?
Family support and guidance is the biggest perk as I get to learn
something new everyday. Music is devotional and entertaining and I am a
combination of both.
- Challenges that you faced during your journey? How did you overcome them?
A lot of hardwork and difficulties come on your way ... Especially
building your voice is the most important and difficult task.
- How many years does it take for one to be a professional singer?
12-15
years
- What was your 'Nothing is Impossible moment'?
After my first performance when I started getting confidence
in me and my singing.
- Lastly what advice would you give to the aspiring classical singers who want to make their mark in the field?
Gain knowledge as much as you can and don't expect anything in
return from music. Be passionate enough give your time to music and the returns
would be much better and bigger than you expected.
