Indie Music Women’s Featured Artist of the Day is…
Kaumudi (@kaumayy)
As a kid, I used to attend dance classes but never thought I would be so passionate about music. But as I grew up, I started singing in the shower and it was basically Bollywood songs. Everybody said I had a beautiful voice but I was always insecure about it. I changed my school and enjoyed music classes in the new school. It was all Hindi songs until my pop obsession started in 8th grade. I used to do a lot of competitions but if I’d be honest, I never won anything. I always messed it up. In 2020, my dad got me a ukulele. I watched some ukulele tutorials on the internet and started playing.
I suffer from anxiety disorder and I used to maintain a journal. Instead of writing about my day as an essay, I used to write it as a song. I started singing those with little melodies that were in my head. I wrote a lot of songs and I never liked them, but songwriting became a therapy for me. I wrote in the middle of the pandemic, where I was very frustrated mentally. Every other song I used to hear on the internet was about heartbreak, and I, who, mostly cried over grades, couldn’t relate, so I wrote a song that I’d relate to. I recorded it in my bedroom with some random samples and started putting it out on SoundCloud. Now my single being released everywhere soon.
One of my wildest dreams is to go on a tour where people will come to listen to me, my voice, my story, and relate. I don’t know what is next to come but this is the beginning of my journey. I can’t wait to tell many more stories through my music and let people relate to it.
Bio by Kaumudi
Kaumudi shared what it means to her personally to be an indie music woman artist:
“Being independent and able to make music is bliss to me. Music makes me happy, and as I suffer from anxiety disorder, writing songs works as the best therapy for me. Adding more to it, being an indie woman artist sets me free, without any limitations. I make music in my bedroom and it always makes me feel powerful, where you are still learning and when you know you created something which is not a masterpiece but you’re also proud of it.”
