Today, Dodd has more than 2 million monthly listeners on Spotify and gained a special fan base after Zoya Akhtar’s ‘The Archies’, in which she made her debut and played the role of Ethel Muggs.
As far as Aditi Saigal or Dodd – as she is popularly known – remember, music has always been a part of her life. The daughter of rock musician Amit Saigal and actress Shena Kamath, she remembers dancing to jazz music at her home in Delhi. He studied many musical instruments at school and he loved to play the piano. He has been singing and writing songs since he was young. He attended Woodstock School for its music department and later received a bachelor’s degree in music and composition from Bangor University in England.
Today, Dodd has more than 2 million monthly listeners on Spotify and gained fans after her music in Zoya Akhtar’s The Archies, in which she made her debut and played the role of Ethel Muggs.
Apart from songs like ‘Girl’s Night’ and ‘Indigo’, Dot’s album Practice Rooms and her debut EP (Extended Play) called ‘Commotion’ were released with Playbook Records. His first song ‘Everybody Loves Techno’ was released on YouTube in 2017 and became very popular.
His next album, Sea Creatures on the Couch, will be released this year. Todd believes that songwriting is his favorite part of being a musician. “I’ve always loved the space between words and music,” he says, believing that religion is an important part of making music. “If it doesn’t mean a lot to you, even in the abstract, you can’t deliver it with truth or honesty, which is what you want,” he said.
Todd believes that making music is one thing, but sharing it is even more important, and considers it “scary, but also liberating.” The song ‘Asymmetrical’, which he shared on his YouTube channel, not only got him the opportunity to repeat songs like ‘Dishoom Dishoom’ and ‘Sunoh’ in The Archies, but also had the opportunity in the world of arts.
Singer-lyricist Ankur Tiwari says that Tat’s unique style made him stand out. “He writes beautiful words that blend with the music he creates. It’s interesting that his music gives me a feeling of nostalgia, but it’s also very new,” he said.
In 2024, Todd wants to focus on writing. “I think this year I decided to be myself,” he concluded.
