In conversation · The Indian Music Diaries
"I can never be bored in Chennai. You go outside and there are thousands of stories."
Dhee, on roots, restlessness and the city that keeps writing her songs, in a long conversation with our editor.

The interview is the house style here: long, patient and about the music first. The credits, the references, the lyrics, what people are actually feeling. The marketing comes after that.
Since 2024 this desk has filed six major pieces for The Indian Music Diaries, growing the platform's following from forty thousand to one hundred and forty thousand along the way: conversations with Dhee, Siddharth Pandit and The Indian Choral Ensemble, a joint sitting with the Azaad Sangeet project, and close readings of Behad and Lagbhag Tumhara.
