Bengaluru musician Rishab Narain on his debut single ‘Loops’

When was the last time you felt like that hamster on a wheel, glassy eyed and tiny paws scrambling, frantically wishing your oft-repeated the motions will somehow break the monotony of life? His debut single ‘Loops’ is about breaking free from the routine that cripples humanity into settling for a mere existence. Once I got back home, I finished the song in its entirety.” Rishab, who sings and plays the guitar, says ‘Loops’ was the first time he had created something entirely on his own, for himself. Currently playing with Bengaluru-bands Long Island Iced Tea and G5, Rishab remembers that pivotal moment when he was “moved” by the music. “I was listening to ‘Tears in Heaven’ by Eric Clapton and it truly inspired me — it made me pick up my sister’s guitar, but after I broke a couple of strings, I decided to get get a guitar on my own,” laughs the self-taught musician.
