Niraj Chag is a music producer and a director. When he was 15, he did work experience at a record label. He studied A-level music in college, but dropped out halfway through. So with no qualifications, he decided to start his own label. Since then he has directed some very interesting videos. Some of his work gets shown on the famous Indian music channel B4U.
An interesting example of his work is 'Ur Jaa'. It is a video which shows the stages of a woman's life and the growing of ivy. When she's younger their is hardly any ivy present, but as she ages, more ivy grows.
This is a video of 'Ur Jaa'
He told us how he made a lot of great links in the industry in order to get himself known. He said that it was important to be able to have courage and try out things you have never done before in order to be successful in the industry. He said you've got to be prepared to get rejected, especially if you have no education in the topic. Do not dwell on rejections, simply learn from them. Work experience is key in the industry as businesses look for people with the most experience and always want the best.
