(^) Sound of Music Karanvir be
lieves a career in any field is what
you make of it. “I could be a musi
cian who is completely okay with
playing small shows and getting
paid the bare minimum or I could
be an IT professional working a
9 to 5 at a corporate firm. In an
unconventionalcareer,youneedto
understandhowtomakeitlucra
tive,howtoliveoffyourpassion.”
(^) Creative Streak “I learnt
everything myself, whether it was
producing or mixing or master
ing. When you can rely on your
own instincts and skills to create
a homegrown method of making
music, the process becomes easier
and fun,” he says. And it is this
homegrown method of making
music that Karanvir hopes to teach
aspiring musicians at the new
age music school, Kamp 1, he has
launched in Gurugram.
