A Partnership Rooted in Friendship and Music

Reflecting on their journey, Nikhil-Siddhesh shared, “Our journey as musicians has been deeply rooted in a shared love for music that started when we were kids. Both of us have been friends since nursery and trained in both Western and Hindustani classical music under the same teachers. Over time, this foundation turned into a partnership, driven by our shared vision of creating music that resonates emotionally while pushing creative boundaries. It felt so natural to collaborate, and our duo was born.”

The Inspiration Behind Front Seat Honsla

The duo revealed that the track was inspired by the everyday courage required to step into the unknown. “‘Front Seat Honsla’ was inspired by the courage it takes to chase dreams, overcome fears, and embrace new beginnings. The idea of a ‘front seat’ is symbolic—it’s about taking charge of your journey while keeping hope and energy alive. The track reflects our own experiences and the hurdles we faced in our music journey.”

Collaborating with Akash Tripathi and Mihir Joshi on vocals, Saurabh Bhonjal on guitar, and lyricists Nehal Bhanushali and Sheetal Divekar, the duo created a vibrant and dynamic piece. “Their contributions added layers of depth and vibrancy to the track, making it a truly collective experience,” they added.

Creating an Anthem of Self-Belief

The process of bringing Front Seat Honsla to life was both exhilarating and rewarding. “The first thought was to make a track that feels like an anthem for self-belief—something listeners could connect with on a personal level. From ideating the core melody to weaving in Akash and Mihir’s vocals and Saurabh’s dynamic guitar riffs, every step brought its own creative rewards. The energy during the recording sessions was infectious, and seeing the track come to life felt incredibly fulfilling,” they shared.
