An Award Win, Energize Artists To Push Themselves Further Says Shankar Mahadevan

In a historic collaboration, renowned artists Shankar Mahadevan, Anup Jalota, and Hariharan are joining forces for the Triveni MP3 Concert Tour, marking their first collective performance across India. This 12-city tour promises a unique blend of traditional and contemporary Indian music, showcasing the immense talent of these legends.

At a recent press conference, Shankar Mahadevan shared his thoughts on the significance of awards in an artist's journey. The acclaimed singer, who boasts a National Award, Filmfare Award, Lata Mangeshkar Award, Padma Shri, and a Grammy Award, emphasized the motivational aspect of recognition. He likened winning an award to “charging a mobile” explaining how it can energize artists to push themselves further.

He said, “Winning an award is like charging a mobile, you get charged by winning an award. You must take an award seriously, but not that seriously that you start thinking, I won a Grammy, I got this, and I got that, and it goes to your head.”

“After winning an award, one must think, okay I got this, now I am going to work even harder, and I am going to give even better songs, and I will perform a whole lot better. So, it’s a matter of working harder” added Shankar.

The tour is the brainchild of Manish Harishankar, a writer, director, and producer with MH Films, who aims to craft a musical experience that resonates with audiences across generations. Fans can expect an exclusive preview of the tour, featuring not only stunning performances but also insights from these musical maestros.
