Electrical engineering senior Meher Singh studies by day, but lays out vibes by night.
Singh goes by the name Snoozi and has one released song, titled “Demon” on Aug. 12, 2022.
“Demon” is a track that combines a fast-paced beat with melodic lyrics. The song is on Spotify, has 180 views on YouTube and available for purchase on iTunes.
Singh said artists like Migos, Travis Scott and NAV are some of his biggest inspirations for his signature sound and career.
“I wouldn't say I have a consistent writing process, but in general it would start with a melody, cadence, flow and I fill in the gaps from there,” Singh said.
Singh says he tries to focus on his music in his free time and that he’d like to keep school and his music career separate.
“Being a student and artist can be challenging,” Singh said. “Obviously I don’t get all the time to do music due to my engineering work, and it is hard to be in a creative mindset with deadlines for a project around the corner.”
Singh is also working on promoting his music on multiple platforms.
He said he tries to utilize his social media platforms to announce upcoming projects, but his reach hasn’t gone too far because of how difficult it is for artists to put themselves out there nowadays.
Singh said he doesn’t think he's reached the point in his life to be signed to a label just yet because he loves the independent nature of doing things on his own.
“Right now my goal is to create the best music I’m capable of, and once my portfolio can show a decent amount of variety in what I can do, then I feel like I would be interested in getting signed,” Singh said.
While being signed would change everything for him, Singh said that he would rather stay independent.
He said the freedom of being independent is also an important plus on his music in terms of control and creativity.
Some SJSU students have already taken a liking to Singh’s music.
Swayam Shah, an engineering management grad student, said he liked the new sounds that Singh created.
“I mostly don't listen to rap so much, but this was a refreshing beat and the lyrics are amazing,” Shah said.
Jacob Saechao, a visitor who stopped by the SJSU campus on Tuesday afternoon, said Singh’s sound sounded similar to the artists he listens to.
“It was pretty good. It reminded me of those mainstream rappers, kinda like Travis Scott. So, it was pretty good,” said Saechao.
Singh said he plans to commit and continue his music career throughout the next five to 10 years.
“Hopefully I will have at least 1-2 full projects released by then, as well as more capacity to do music more regularly,” Singh said. “ As much as I would want to commit to do music full time, I also have a career in electrical engineering that I also want to pursue, and getting to the point with music to support your lifestyle is dependent on luck, so I have to be realistic as well.”
