Zoya Akhtar Reema Kagti Ankur Tewari Tiger Baby Records
Headed by Zoya Akhtar and Reema Kagti, Tiger Baby is one of Hindi film industry’s most innovative film studios. The power duo have roped in multi-hyphenate musician Ankur Tewari to kickstart Tiger Baby Records, an extension of the studio’s philosophy of ‘compelling storytelling’ in the audio world.
Tiger Baby Records aims to delve into the diverse soundscapes of the subcontinent and represent them globally. Their vision, as the co-founders state, is to create ‘all you can hear’ – from albums, EPs and singles, to music-driven documentaries, podcasts and live events, and work with an array of artists to create fresh and bespoke musical projects.
Tiger Baby Records’ first release already reflects their intent to do different things, and to do things differently. It has lined up a bevy of releases including a series of children’s music EPs, with Tewari’s Aaja Nindiya the first of four, and in collaboration with Platoon Music – an Apple-owned artist services, A&R, and music distribution company. The label will announce additions to its roster of artists and releases soon.
Zoya Akhtar & Reema Kagti said, “We are excited to be delving into the audio world with Tiger Baby Records. The world of music represents an exciting opportunity e and partnering with Ankur was an obvious and natural decision. We hope to continue to empower newer voices and create sounds that break the clutter, and our roster of releases will reflect that.”
Ankur Tewari said, “I feel that there isn’t enough children’s music being made in local languages, especially in India. A lot of old music is being recycled or you listen to songs that are made abroad. I felt the need for it, when I heard my nieces and nephews listen to music that was not homegrown. So when we found an opportunity to collaborate with Platoon Music, it felt like the perfect project for the launch of the label.”
