Working with Colliva was great learning: Farhan

Mumbai: Actor-singer-songwriter Farhan Akhtar who has released his first solo music album titled 'Echoes', produced by Grammy Award-winning Italian producer Tommaso Colliva, says such collaborations are fruitful for creativity.

Sharing his experience of working with an international producer who has worked with British band Muse and Mary Chain among others, Farhan said: "Working with Tommaso was really amazing because his approach was quite different. He wanted to know the story behind each song, and what was my frame of mind when I was writing them."

"The atmosphere was so conducive that as a singer-songwriter I felt really excited to work on it. He wanted to do the production and sound following those written words. It really added value to the album. It was a great learning experience."

Asked if he would like to use the experience to contribute to the independent music scenario in India, where Bollywood music mostly overshadows it, Farhan said: "We are doing a lot of stuff through our movies. If you look at the recent example of Gully Boy, we have encouraged musicians from the underground scene. I would love to support and encourage young talent, but look, this is not my full-time job."

Farhan will be seen opposite Priyanka Chopra Jonas in "The Sky Is Pink", which will release in October.
