Money should not dominate the process of creating music, says music producer Nucleya.
The 38-year-old EDM star, whose real name is Udyan Sagar, said even though he understands the business side of the entertainment industry, it is important to let the creative minds fly free.
"When somebody is investing crores in a movie they have to figure out a way to be able to make that money back. I understand that from an investor's perspective.
"But making music is a creative process, which means you have to leave it to creative people to come up with a good tune. This power should not be stripped away from them," Nucleya told PTI in a telephonic interview from Mumbai.
The artiste, known for his party tracks like "Bass Rani", "Laung Gawacha", "Jind Mahi" and "Mirza", believes at times musicians are pushed into following a trend which stops them from exploring new ideas.
"If one formula, like remixes, clicks then everybody jumps on that. They don't understand that overdoing it is going to kill the whole thing.
"There are so many creative people within the music industry, be it composers, writers or singers, all we need is to give them creative freedom and let them create something beautiful. The musicians in the industry at times don't have this power."
