More Than Iddli Vadai Dosa
This is a page about indie artists from South India. We have an agenda, and we are 100% committed to it.
If you are a South Indian indie musician with original music, email Manaf at manaf@heartlandxp.com with the details so he can check it out.
The South will prevail.
So, see you at a gig!

Editor, Sofar guy, CEO, Website Designer, Chief Hooha
Probably met him at a Sofar or a random hotel gig. Runs Sofar Sounds Kochi and HEARTLAND Experiences. Smokes a lot. Zero Matches on Bumble. General disappointment to the family. DOES NOT HAVE A LINKEDIN PROFILE. Edits and writes for The South Scene. Art over people. People don't remain; art does.

Bordoloi
Writer, singer, songwriter
I'm a 24-year-old Assamese singer-songwriter based in Chennai, with experience performing in venues across the country. I have also been a member of The Vienna Songwriter Circle, Austria, when I was 16 and have performed in venues there. The Indian Music Diaries Awards selected me as one of the best debut artists in 2022. Rolling Stone Magazine had listed my debut single, Whiskey Blues as one of the best singles released in 2021, and my debut EP Letters To Bombay as one amongst the top 10 EPs released in 2024. Some of my musical influences include Bob Dylan, Lianne La Havas and Laura Marling.
