India’s treasured music composer Pritam Da invited iconic DJ Marshmello to Jam8 for his first ever visit to a recording studio in India on February 14th. Having collaborated on the song BIBA, Pritam Da took Marshmello on a tour across his new Mumbai studio where the song actually took birth.
They were seen jamming and sharing notes on music where Pritam introduced Marshmello to the stalwarts of the Music Industry such as Baadshah, Neha Kakkar, Armaan Malik, Arijit Singh and the singer whose vocals are on BIBA-Dev Negi.
In true tradition of Indian hospitality, Pritam Da gifted Marshmello a personalised jacket with their song name and logo, that was curated by ace athleisure designer Narendra Kumar. Warmed by the gesture, Marshmello instantly put it on and posed for pictures.
While wearing the jacket, Marshmello was cheered on with a dhol. Taken by the sound of it, Marshmello tried his hands at the instrument and played it exeptionally well and to the beat of their track 'BIBA' quite effortlessly. They also danced to the song and gave all a sneak peak of the 'BIBA step', to be seen in the video of the track due for release very soon.
Pritam Da mentions, "Team JioSaavn contacted me somewhere around November saying Marshmello wants to collaborate with you, what do you think about it? I was super excited and on board instantly. I composed a few songs which I sent to Marshmello to work with, together. My first cuts were love songs, especially after hearing Marshmello’s compositions ‘Alone’ and ‘Happier’, and I was convinced he would like the work I sent him. Marshmello’s team loved BIBA the most and felt that the song meshed perfectly with the energy, vibe and culture of India, impressed by its Indianised beats. Marshmello then added his signature touch to it and the result is golden!"
BIBA already has over 6 million hits and the music video which will be directed by filmmaker Punit Malhotra, has a Bollywood surprise. Marshmello will also be performing BIBA at the Supersonic weekend with a special appearance by Pritam Da.
