We are excited to welcome the legendary composer, arranger, and music producer Dhrubajyoti Phukan alongside the talented singer Shashwati Phukan to this special episode of The Music Podcast in conversation with Tarsame Mittal & Co-host Sunny M.R.! With an illustrious career spanning over three decades, DJ Phukan has been the mastermind behind some of Bollywood’s most iconic songs, from Mauja Hi Mauja to Aahun Aahun and Bulleya. Meanwhile, Shashwati Phukan’s journey from Arunachal Pradesh to Bollywood is nothing short of inspiring, marked by her unique voice and deep musical roots. In this engaging conversation, we explore their multifaceted careers, their creative process, and the secrets to staying relevant in an ever-evolving industry. Dhruba da reveals his philosophy on music—why he doesn’t believe in rigid rules, how he deciphers a song’s “screenplay,” and his experiences working with Pritam, Zubeen Garg, and more. He also shares behind-the-scenes stories of sampling techniques, including how Assamese lyrics shaped Mauja Hi Mauja and the making of Dum Maro Dum.

Shashwati takes us through her musical roots in Arunachal Pradesh, how AIR requests inspired her to sing, and her Bollywood debut story involving Harry Anand, Universal Music, and the song Sehri Babu. She talks about her biggest influences, how her daughter encouraged her to embrace singing again, and why she has no regrets about prioritizing family over career at times. Beyond their professional journeys, they open up about their love story, from Dhruba da mentoring Shashwati to eloping once she was of age! The episode is packed with untold stories, humorous anecdotes, and heartfelt reflections on their struggles, triumphs, and how their children now influence their musical perspectives.
