The scratch

Project Overview

A raw, stripped-down artist-to-artist music series hosted by Adi Lodha & Dishaan Gidwani. Each 12–15 min episode features a candid conversation and a live performance of three original tracks by India’s most exciting young musicians.

Expected Impact

We hope this leads to new artist collaborations & creations. We hope the story-telling humanize's India's next-gen music talent, build a trusted archive of artist journeys and put Indian music on the global map.

Applicant Background

Adi Lodha’s journey began at 18 when he turned down a job offer from Apple to release music on SoundCloud. The buzz around his early tracks led him to Hofstra University, where he studied music theory and economics. Known for his breakout single “RAINGIRL” and the genre-blurring EP Pigeonhole, Adi has juggled college with releasing music and hosting a podcast. Influenced by Jay-Z and Kanye West, he blends sharp lyricism with fresh production. His latest project, Good Things Take Time, is a collaboration with long-time friend and producer Dishaan.
