Instead of “waiting for other people to get their shit together,” the Mumbai musician took production matters in his own hands and created a kickass EP
BLAME IT ON HIS MULTIPLE concurrent projects, Siddharth Basrur is beginning to gain a bit of an iconic status in the indie music scene. The popular vocalist/guitarist—whose 16-year-old journey includes stints as frontman with prog rockers Goddess Gagged, rockers Scribe as well as alt rock outf it Last Remaining Light and other projects—is now out with new music under a new moniker, Runt. Says Basrur, “Runt is kind of like my alter ego; it is also kind of like an oxymoron because the sound is not small.” He adds, “I was this tiny scrawny person and now I’ve evolved into something and that’s what usually happens to the underdog. I kind of like to root for the underdog.”
