When I was composing music for ad jingles, I decided to try my hand at a single. When I finally moved to Mumbai, things started rolling… so it’s been quite a journey.īanno tera swagger from Tanu Weds Manu Returns was your first big break. Then I moved on to arranging my own music with my dad. But my career actually took off when I started doing shows outside college. I won a lot of awards in fests and fresher’s events. My music career actually started from my college days and I performed in most of the colleges in Calcutta. I learnt music from my parents and did my first stage show when I was eight. They keep telling me that as long as I am composing honestly and people are enjoying my music, it’s all good. Even today, whatever I compose, I first play it to my mom and dad and take their feedback. My parents have been a big support to me. I thought, ‘Chalo… let’s at least try and monetise my skills through music only’. I decided to carry forward my parents’ dream because they always wanted me to become a musician. Then I wanted to become a pilot and also worked hard towards it.īut one day I realised that music is where my calling is. But later, I realised that music can’t be a priority because it wouldn’t help me earn and I wanted to do something that was much more promising in terms of money. My dad (Nandakumar Bagchi who worked with RD Burman and Salil Choudhury) and mom (Sharmistha Das) are both into music professionally and I started out wanting to do the same. Growing up in Calcutta, did you always want to be a musician? Now when I am being appreciated, I feel I have followed the right path. I always knew that whatever I did, I would do to the best of my ability, and out of the box.

But I had the right intentions about my career right from the start.

I didn’t expect this much to happen… it’s a blessing, I would say. It feels heavy, ya! (Laughs) There’s too much on my head right now… lot of challenges coming up. You are Bollywood’s music man of the moment. T2 caught up with Tanishk - who also gave us the soulful Kapoor & Sons hit Bolna and the hatke Tanu Weds Manu Returns chartbuster Banno tera swagger - to know the man behind the music. The young gun from Central Avenue has given a fresh spin to iconic hits, with The humma song (OK Jaanu), Tamma tamma again (Badrinath ki Dulhania) and Tu cheez badi hai mast mast (Machine) dominating both playlists and nightclub sets. Today, Tanishk Bagchi is the toast of Bollywood. He studied at Frank Anthony Public School and Scottish Church College and took his first steps as a musician playing at various city college fests. I want to be a versatile musician and create five-six songs that should dominate the music charts simultaneously, but people should feel that they have been scored by five different composers.
