Shreya Ghoshal: Studio, live shows key for growth

 Playback singer Shreya Ghoshal, who recently released the live album of her All Hearts Tour, feels that both studio sessions and live shows are important for a singer’s growth.

Shreya spoke with IANS while crossing continents for work, and said that live shows and studio sessions are 2 entirely different worlds, and the better a singer is able to strike a balance between them, the higher are their chances to achieve excellence.

She told IANS, “I think both have their own charm. And I cannot do without each of them. Studio is my comfort zone. That's where I feel at home. Sitting in a creative process is the high, I cannot express. It's a very spiritual expression for me. Being able to create and be in that creative process with my songwriters, composers, lyricists, co-singers, engineers”.

She further mentioned, “Everyone is constantly trying to tell what to do, asking, ‘How can we do it better?’, at all times. Creating something out of nowhere. So it's a very different process. While it's another level of energy. And it's a completely different ballgame. And it's not everyone’s cup of tea. It's not easy. That also requires a lot of hard work. And a lot of planning. A lot of timing and selection. Being able to adapt to each audience”.

“Each venue has energy. So both of them I have learned on the go. I think this time that I have had so far in this industry has taught me a lot of things. And I figured out my own way of entertaining people through my music. And I can't choose between studio sessions and live performances. Both are very important. And I love them both”, she added.

Meanwhile, her ‘All Hearts Tour’ live album has been released under the label of Sony Music India.
