During his school days, nestled between the ninth and tenth standard, young Suchir found himself immersed in music, tuning in to channels like 9X and MTV. It was there that he discovered a range of emerging and established artists whose music not just inspired him, but also sparked a desire within him to create something similar to the music he admired. He also reminisced about the release of Weeknd’s "I Can't Feel My Face" in 2016, and the transformative impact of Justin Bieber's "Purpose" album. Suchir and his musical palate has always been diverse, oscillating between the beats of pop and the narratives of English songs, much like those crafted by The Chainsmokers. Yet, in between the inclination of Western tunes, Suchir also found warmth in the strains of Bollywood and Hindi tracks, drawn to the soulful classics by artists like Arijit Singh, Armaan Malik, and Atif Aslam.

In a heartfelt conversation with 'The Outsiders', Suchir revealed his initial passion for cricket, a sport that once consumed his dreams. Yet, fate had a different path in store for him, leading him down the musical avenues where his true calling lay. What began as a mere hobby of crafting cover songs on Instagram gradually evolved into a journey of self-discovery, culminating in the creation of his own original compositions. Suchir's transition from the cricket pitch to the stage reflects the intricate dance of destiny, illustrating how sometimes, the universe conspires to guide us towards our true purpose.

Story of Suchir Bhardwaj, a young talent hailing from the quaint town of Kangra in Himachal Pradesh and his footsteps in music, finds its roots in a classic tale of inspiration, ignited by the flicker of romance. Reflecting on those formative years, Suchir muses, "It all started because of a girl. She was like my motivation, my inspiration." It was this romantic muse that Suchir penned his maiden creation, 'Criminal Basically,' a tribute to someone who stole his heart without permission. "I sometimes laugh about what I was writing, but it was good according to that time," he recalls with a grin, reminiscing about the innocence of his early compositions. As fate would have it, destiny paved another path for Suchir during his school days, a talent hunt. Word of his lyrics reached the ears of some guy in his school, leading to an impromptu showcase of his talents. "He asked me if I wrote songs, and I pitched him the same song. He liked it and just said 'good'," Suchir narrates. Yet, it was a spontaneous performance on the school stage that truly solidified Suchir's musical journey. To this day, he treasures the diary where he penned his song, a reminder of his humble beginnings and the potential of a dreamer from a small town.

Suchir and his aspiration are to weave connections, to reach out and touch the hearts of listeners far and wide. His goal is simple yet profound, to craft melodies and lyrics that resonate deeply with the experiences and emotions of his audience, inviting them to embark on a journey of shared sentiment and reflection. At the core of Suchir's creative process lies a dedication to lyrical excellence. With attention and fervent passion, he crafts each verse and chorus, ensuring that they serve as a sturdy foundation upon which his narrative can flourish. "The lyrics are paramount," he asserts, recognizing their power to breathe life into his compositions and convey the stories he yearns to tell. Suchir allows melodies to take shape and form alongside his lyrics and understands that a catchy composition is key to capturing their attention and igniting their spirits and when it comes to vocal delivery that Suchir truly shines, employing a lot of technicalities and components to treat his songs with depth and resonance. With a keen ear for harmony and voice that speaks volumes, he breathes life into his creations, infusing them with his unique blend of passion and vulnerability.

"My music is an R&B and indie fusion, influenced by diverse sounds from Hindi, English, Punjabi, to even Pahadi tunes. Drawing inspiration from artists like The Weeknd, Arijit Singh, and Raftaar, I strive to create a unique blend that resonates with global audiences."

Suchir reflects upon two invaluable lessons that have shaped his path with profound wisdom. First and foremost, he underscores the virtue of patience, a lesson learned through personal trials and tribulations. "Patience," he muses, "is the key to unlocking myriad achievements in the realm of music. While there have been moments of impatience, I've come to realize that greatness takes time to unfold." In tandem with patience, Suchir emphasizes the importance of steadfastness and perseverance. "You must stay the course," he advises, "remain committed to your craft, and trust that your efforts will yield fruition." He speaks from the heart, acknowledging the trials and triumphs that accompany the pursuit of musical excellence. "The dreams we nurture and the aspirations we harbor may take time to materialize," he continues, "but with unwavering dedication and persistence, success is not only attainable but inevitable." Suchir's journey serves as a testament to the transformative power of patience and perseverance, inspiring fellow musicians to embrace these virtues as they chart their own course in the vast expanse of the music industry.

"I'm currently putting my energy into releasing more singles, but I'm eager to dive into collaborations with other artists and ultimately create an album. I'm excited to explore new musical avenues, aiming for freshness and groove in every track."

Suchir's favourite track right now is "Tere Jhumke." He loves it because it's different from what he usually makes and it has a cool story behind it. He got the idea for the song while bored in a college lecture, staring at his teacher's earrings. The song's catchy line, "Tere Jhumke pe jhoome jag Sara," popped into his head, and he built the song from there. It's a reminder that inspiration can strike anywhere, even in the most unexpected moments.

“I think I have evolved a lot as an artist. Started from hip-hop to pop to different genres. Now I feel like I'm getting into a particular niche, Specific genre which I can totally focus on. On which I can incorporate different creative ideas,Styles . Looking forward to bringing a lot of new stuff."
