In the morning Fernando and I did research for our case study (on

social anthropology), one of the aspects of the study features

media. This is why we went to a very well known Bollywood music
producer here in India, Daniel B. George at Skull Studios. We were
able to interview him to discuss the differences between Indias
music industry and in America.
One of the first things that we determined was that Indias music
industry is divided into 3 categories (background score in film,
individual artists and playback artists). Since Bollywood movies are
becoming more widely accepted across the globe their film score
are huge hits! A majority of the top hits here in India are mostly
Bollywood songs with occasional hits sung by individual artists.
The third category of music here is India, playbacks, are traditionally
sung by indie artists re-singing their own versions of the hit
Bollywood songs. Some of the well-known and prestigious schools
here in India for film include FDI (film training institute) and NSD
(National School of Drama), and the Mumbai film academy.
When we asked the producer how he got his start in the music
industry he told us that he is a pianist and he was a friend with a
well-known music producer who introduced him to producing
Bollywood Scores.
For the remainder of the day we went to Starbucks to have another
meeting with Shekhar and to continue our research.
