We’re the happiest when on stage, says Agnee’s Mohan Kannan

Pune-based band Agnee, recently made Kolkata groove to their tunes, at Hard Rock Cafe on Park Street. The band is known for tracks like Shaam Tanha, Aahatein and Kabira to name a few. The lead vocalist Mohan Kannan, who is from Kolkata, interacted with his fans in Bengali, expressing his love for the city. He said to the crowd,“Kolkata’s audience understands diverse genres of music, from classical and blues to rock and ghazal. We are very excited to perform here.” CT caught up with Mohan to talk about their journey, and more.

"We would love to be on stage for all 365 days in a year as we are happiest there. The most memorable experiences happen when on stage. When the crowd sings our song, or appreciates a solo is gratifying enough"

"Back in the day, launching our own album and seeing our faces on the cover of it was a big deal. We’re going to release the entire discography of our band by January 2024. It’ll be a compilation of Agnee’s memorable 17 year old journey"

"We believe every musician should honest with their music. The first and most important piece of advice we have received, and we would like to pass on to others, is to be true to your music and enjoy the journey"

"We all contributed our own songs. Aahetein was composed in under five minutes. Koco (Kaustubh Dhavale, guitarist) and I jammed, and it just happened. It went on to become one of our best songs"
