Making anything creative requires a lot of patience. But, if they are to make it in music, they need to create their own songs. All these artists coming from reality shows cover others' songs to get votes from people.

Not everyone is capable of doing all these technical things. Artists compose their own songs they record them in their own studios, and mix and master it themselves. In maximum cases, everything is like a one man show now.

But, many of them do not know how to make their own songs. These artists get peoples' appreciation for singing in reality shows. And not every new artist knows about the technical side of music. Will they do what their contemporary artists are doing? What kind of music do people want to hear from them? Many of them make songs with more melody and lyric based, while some go to the studios and record the song and mix it themselves. Kumar: I feel that they are very confused when they start. You see talented musicians who start off great, but cannot seem to stay in the industry for long. Rafi: You have been working as the judge for talent hunt shows for quite a long time. It seems like too much of a hassle for her. But now, she has to go online, connect her device to the speaker. After I explained everything to her, she just said, "I cannot do all of these things, just bring me a cassette." (Laughter) My sister does not listen to music anymore because she used to put on a cassette and play music while doing household chores. Upon hearing that, she asked me what YouTube was. My mother asked me a few days back, "Why don't you release cassettes anymore?" I told her that she has to go online and look up songs on YouTube. But, the artists whose fanbases consisted of elderly people, are suffering because most elderly people do not know how to listen to music online. For many, earnings are less than their total spending. People send their children to better schools, so that they can compete with the rest of the world. They have to work multiple jobs, as the cost of living is extremely high now. They can't find the time to listen to music. Nowadays, due to many social and economic problems, many people cannot afford entertainment. Once they have all of this, only then can they seek entertainment. Kumar: People have basic necessities food, shelter, clothing, health, education. Rafi: Where is our music industry headed? Artists are doing publicity for their songs, they are boosting their songs with money, but still, the entire industry is facing a shortage.

Now, music is free and artists also make a video for the song. For example, people used to buy music in the past. We seem to be moving away from the emotions that defined Bangladeshi music. Now, I feel like in this age of globalization, people are losing their Bangladeshi roots, heritage and culture, while trying to establish their careers.

If money was the only concern, you had to run behind the audiences, but if you made music straight from your soul, audiences would naturally be attracted to you. We did not make music just to make money. They all approached with the mentality to create music straight from the heart. Kumar: The ones that came to the music scene from Chittagong, came because of their love for music. Rafi: Did a lot of new faces come from Chittagong along with you? I feel like musicians nowadays lack this. I don't know if I am talented or not, but during that time, musicians had unique identities and depth within their soul. Many talents were affiliated to music during that period. I feel like the 80s and 90s were the prime time for our industry. Each came with their own individuality and uniqueness. For instance, if we look at West Bengal, we see Hemanta Mukhopadhyay, Manna Dey, Salil Chowdhury, Pintoo Bhattacharya, Shyamal Mitra all these creative and iconic personalities. Kumar: Actually, in every part of the world, there have been times where we witnessed a group of talents prospering side by side in the industry.
