ITANAGAR, Feb 27: Arunachal Pradesh’s music and creative ecosystem is set to receive a major boost with “Just Music”, a first-of-its-kind industry networking and knowledge-sharing event, which involves national and international artists, creators and music industry leaders in the State capital here tomorrow.
An initiative of Arunachal’s music sensation Taba Chake, the Redcoats Society event in a city hotel aims to nurture collaboration, mentorship and professional pathways for the region’s budding musicians and creative entrepreneurs.
Headlining the speaker lineup is acclaimed singer-songwriter Justh, known for his indie hits, alongside Taba Chake, whose work has carried the State’s folk-inspired sound to national audiences. They will share insights on songwriting, independent artistry and navigating the evolving music landscape.
“The initiative seeks to position Arunachal Pradesh as a growing hub for original music and creative collaboration in the Northeast, while enabling local artists to access professional networks and global platforms,” Chake said.
Adding industry depth, Dhruvank Vaidya, Head of Music and Podcast at Spotify India, will attend as special guest, bringing global streaming and publishing insights relevant to independent artists from emerging markets like the Northeast.
With participation from musicians, producers, festival curators and students, Just Music is expected to mark a significant step toward integrating Arunachal’s vibrant grassroots music scene with the wider Asian and global industry.
