The success of artistes like Prateek Kuhad, and, more recently, Armaan Malik, as English singer-songwriters from India, had already established the demand that existed in international markets. However, with RRR’s Naatu naatu taking Indian music to the global stage with its Oscar win, it is only a matter of time before international filmmakers come knocking at our doors when the need to represent Indian culture presents itself.
The latest musicians to tap into the international music market with their self-publishing arm is Shor Police — comprising Clinton Cerejo and Bianca Gomes — which has tied up with the licensing company behind films like Guardians of the Galaxy and Spider-Man: Homecoming.
Ask Cerejo if his publishing arm will eventually serve as a platform that offers Indian songs to American filmmakers, and he says, “That is the plan — to make it to international films. This is the first part of our plan. We eventually want to build a publishing house that can serve as the vehicle for collaborations with Indian artistes [to serve] international markets, when the opportunity surfaces. Our collaborators are the best in the market to [have our songs picked for American films]. There are many artistes who would love to have their songs featured in [international] films, and [this is] the best way to be heard by a global audience.”
