Navigating to success

These days, it’s not easy to become successful even if you’re a talented professional musician. Breaking into the world of the indie music and having jumped past all the hurdles that are faced by budding artists, solo musician Abhishek Gopurathinkal, who goes by the stage name AGO, is making waves with his new solo project Digital Muse. In our part of the world, especially back home, independent music is not successful as compared to other parts of the country, and in India in general, our music is bound to films, which is somewhat a drawback for indie artists,” says AGO. I always try to give it a psychedelic and rock effect.” He released Digital Muse at the Chenqal Music Fest this month. He had launched his debut single – Perfect Lies last year which was nominated for the best music video and best rock song at Asia’s biggest independent music festival, The VIMA awards.
