The video is the first episode of the second season of Make It Myself. The host and owner of Gatsvy Media, Soumini Sridhara Paul, is joined by Damini Gautam and Brecilla D'Souza, members of the band Queendom.
Key takeaways from the discussion include:
About Make It Myself
The first season of Make It Myself was created in 2020 when the host was stuck at home during the pandemic, and it was initially intended to be the only season.
Season one featured 17 different artists, one in every episode, where the host would present and interact with them in a way that later became known as a podcast.
The concept of Make It Myself is about having the right to believe in yourself, which the host relates to the shift in the market where talent no longer needs to feel shy or bound by someone else believing in them.
When discussing the idea of "Making it Myself," the guests offered different perspectives:
One guest initially went through a period where they felt they had to make it themselves because nobody else would help, but later realized that making it oneself is empowering, and the feeling will shift between feeling like a victim and feeling empowered.
The other guest, who prefers working in a team, sees "making it myself" as a process of DIY-ing or creating something of value, but not necessarily alone.
The host sees "Make It Myself" as something within their control, where the benchmarks are less overpowering compared to working with an establishment.
About Queendom and the Members:
Damini Gautam and Brecilla D'Souza met in a music school in 2018 and bonded over their harmonizing singing and the realization that they "gelled" with each other.
They were encouraged by their teachers and others to keep going.
Queendom's conversations revolved around their experiences in the city. The band name, Queendom, happened organically, and they loved it because it represents who they are and what they stand for. The band's concept is "ever evolving" as the members grow as women and experience more things.
Queendom generally has a third female vocal artist perform with them because they value the "feminine energy," and it creates a safe space to discuss thoughts that might not come up in a room with men.
The band members also appreciate working with women teams, saying there is a "next level of comfort" and fewer things need to be explained.
The host, Soumini Sridhara Paul, who runs Gatsvy Media, exclusively manages Queendom.
On Their Songs and Messaging:
The band performed a line of their song, "Pussy Talk," which is available on all streaming platforms. The host noted that the song is "unabashedly" saying what they want to say.
The band felt empowered to speak and allow their personalities to be "let loose" through the song.
One guest felt the song was bold and vulnerable because it was the first song they put out.
When performed live, the band found that women often came up to them, relating to the song.
The song is viewed as having "something important to say beneath the attention grabbing words".
The band's approach is to talk about celebration and empowerment rather than suppression, promoting the idea that women are human beings who can present themselves and are not good even if they are women.
Their new single, "Colony," is viewed as gender-agnostic and talks about breaking the norm. The song started with an interesting chord progression.
The band decided to write about their frustrations, using an ant colony as a metaphor for the idea of a regimented, organized system where anyone who deviates is not accepted.
The song reflects the headspace of the members at the time, dealing with feeling out of place, the fast pace of life, and battling questions of financial independence.
On Building a Community:
The band is seeking to build a community for those who feel they don't belong in a certain concept or group.
They hope their music will help them find people or allow people to relate to them.
They want the community to be an extension of their self-expression, starting small and organically with friends, as they believe people are currently in an "era of perpetual loneliness" despite being connected.
The band envisions building a community through small, physical gatherings in their homes with discussion points and shared perspectives, viewing community as a "safe space" with an intellectual and emotional bond.
Online, they would want a space where people feel safe putting down things they liked or saw, even if it is just a "dump" where conversations can be started.
While the music will be women-focused because Queendom is a strong word, they will be encouraging everybody to get in touch with the "yin in them" (feminine nature), as they believe there is a "little female in all male".
