Interview with Pubudu - nova@2am
Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
A: “NO REASON WHY” — a commercial pop song I developed from concept through lyrics and topline, built around a strong hook and clear emotional direction.
Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: Developing original commercial songs and collaborating with artists, vocalists and producers on custom projects.
Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?
A: Yes. I’ve worked with artists, singers, topliners and producers on SoundBetter who know my songwriting and can speak to the quality and talent of my work.
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: I’ll understand the artist and brief first, and always put the quality and commercial potential of the song first.
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: Taking an idea and turning it into a finished song that feels like it belongs to the artist.
Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?
A: That songwriting is simply putting words and melody together. The right concept, story, structure and hook all have to work together.
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: I ask about the artist, background, story, style, audience, references and what they want the song to achieve.
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: Choose someone talented who takes the time to understand the artist and project before writing.
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: Commercial, melodic and story-driven, with a strong focus on memorable songwriting.
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: Bruno Mars. His combination of songwriting, rhythm, personality and mainstream appeal is exactly the kind of creative space I’d love to work in.
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: Commercial pop, contemporary pop, R&B, dance-pop, crossover, arena, folk, rap, country and K-pop. I adapt to the artist and project rather than staying within one genre.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: Turning an artist’s idea, story or brief into a commercially viable song.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: I bring strong concepts, storytelling, memorable hooks and songwriting tailored specifically to the artist.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: I study the artist, their background and brief, then develop the concept, story, lyrics and melody. I refine everything around the artist rather than forcing a fixed formula.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: Bruno Mars, Ed Sheeran, Max Martin and Ryan Tedder inspire me for their songwriting, melodies, storytelling and commercial appeal.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: I write commercially viable songs customised to each artist or project. I study their background, style and brief, then build the song around what suits them.
