Stating that there was a ‘sparkle in every Naga’s eyes when it comes to music,’ Supongnukshi called upon the participants to use their ‘power of writing for a constructive society as the content of our writing conveys message to people and has the ability to shape and change the society.’
Stating that the skills of writing or composing are equal to creative thinking, the official persuaded the youngsters to ‘use their power of writing in a positive manner as the influence lies within an individual and the gift should not be misused.’
Locally-celebrated musician Alobo Naga, also the chief judge of the contest, reminded the aspiring artistes that song-writing was ‘always a good option as a career.’ The musician remarked that in Nagaland people tend to become ‘self-interested and want to attempt all career without focus.’ This leads to failure and their giving up, he said. He encouraged the participants to work on their passion with focus and connect with the people with their creativity.
An upcoming artist, Kezia Semy, also released an original called ‘Walk in Gospel’ during the event. The song was written by Senti Longchar and its music composed by Lichen Kichu.
