Tell us about yourself, who are you and where do you come from?

Ankit Thapa, also known as “Ani Thapa”. His actual hometown is Darjeeling, West Bengal but he is born and raised in New Delhi, India.

How was your passion for music born? Who are your idols?

My passion for music was born at a young age, and it’s a journey that I’m grateful to have been on. As a child, I was always fascinated by the way music could bring people together and evoke emotions. I remember participating in school functions and zonal competitions, where I would sing and perform in front of my classmates and teachers. Those early experiences sparked a fire within me, and I knew that music was something I wanted to pursue further. However, it wasn’t until I was around 12 years old that I discovered my true passion for music. I was introduced to the hip-hop sound from Western culture, and it completely changed my perspective on music. I was captivated by the energy, the beats, and the lyrics that seemed to speak to me on a deeper level. From that moment on, I knew that I wanted to learn more about music and how to create it. I began to explore music production, lyrics writing, and rhyme schemes through online sources and available portals. I spent countless hours watching tutorials, reading blogs, and practicing my skills. It wasn’t easy, but I was determined to learn everything I could about making meaningful music. I remember spending hours in my room, experimenting with different sounds, and trying to come up with lyrics that would resonate with others. As I delved deeper into the world of hip-hop, I started to follow some of the leading artists in the industry. I was inspired by the likes of Raftaar, Badshah, Ikka, KR$NA, Bella, and Talha Anjum, among others. I admired their pen game, the way they could weave complex lyrics and rhyme schemes into their songs. I studied their work, analyzing their techniques, and trying to understand what made their music so impactful. I have to say that I don’t really have any idols in the classical sense. I don’t look up to anyone as a role model or try to emulate their style. However, I do draw inspiration from the artists I mentioned earlier. I admire their creativity, their passion, and their dedication to their craft. I’ve learned so much from them, and I continue to be inspired by their work. One of the things I’ve learned from following these artists is the importance of using references in music. I’ve seen how they use references to add depth and meaning to their songs, and it’s something that I try to incorporate into my own music. I’ve also learned about the power of storytelling in music, and how to craft a narrative that resonates with listeners. Looking back, I’m grateful for the journey that has brought me to where I am today. From those early days of participating in school functions to my current passion for music production and lyrics writing, it’s been a wild ride. I’m excited to see where my music takes me, and I’m grateful to have had the opportunity to learn from some of the best in the industry.

I usually do storytelling and emo rap, which comes under the hip hop, rap, and R&B genres, and i mostly focus(s) on using my lyrics to convey emotion and tell stories.
