13, Aniya Vibes is the new emerging voice of Assamese Pop Music
One thing that is common among the likes of Bob Dylan, Michael Jackson and all the other big pop stars of the world is that they all started early. Some found quick success whereas some found it over a period of time as their art kept maturing. 13 year old Aniya Vibes is on a similar trajectory. While she has only begun her transition from adolescence to teenage, the artist in her is showing all signs of maturity. Aniya has released 4 songs - 1 in Hindi, 1 in English and 2 in Assamese, her mother tongue. Her parents, both techies from San Francisco, have ensured that she is not led astray from her Axomiya roots. Her talent is such that renowned musician Joi Barua, recently took to his social media to applaud Aniya.
Raised in California, miles away from the cultural landscapes of Assam, Aniya Vibes’ music shows no signs of an expatriate. Her uncle Sibabrata Sharma, an established music composer and producer, plays a big role in her musical influence. Together, they collaborate to compose and create music where Aniya brings her western influence and her uncle brings a wealth of experience in Indian music. She is emerging as a bridge between the sonics of her motherland and the modern soundscape of the world. Her latest single ‘Uri Jai Mon’ is a tropical summer anthem. Fused with pitched up samples of the ‘Pepa’ - traditional Assamese wind instrument and the rhythms of dancehall and reggaeton, the song is groovy and easy on the ears. Having made her debut at the age of 9, ‘Uri Jai Mon’ is a joyful display of resilience and the spirit of youth. The captivating lyrics of the song have been written by the well known musician, Maitrayee Patar. Speaking on her experience of working with Aniya she shared, ‘it’s been a humbling experience working with a youngster like Aniya. I hope listeners enjoy the song. It’s also inspiring to see the support Aniya has been receiving from her parents. I hope teenagers and children in Assam get more support in pursuing arts and entertainment. I am always happy to work with them’.
‘Uri Jai Mon’ is now available on all streaming platforms. To celebrate the song’s release, a launch party has been organized at The View in Zoo Road, Guwahati. The event will be attended by distinguished members of the Assamese music industry. You are kindly invited to grace the event with your august presence.
