Amazon MX Player, the free video streaming service, is making waves with I-POPSTAR, a platform designed to discover and nurture independent musical talent. The show features fresh voices, original tracks, and a lineup of experienced mentors guiding contestants through every stage, helping them craft a bold, youthful, and distinctly homegrown sound. Mentors include Aastha Gill, King, Aditya Rikhari, and Parmish Verma.
Speaking about the show’s concept, Aastha Gill said, “I feel like the entire country is witnessing a shift in real time. Seeing original music take center stage on a reality show, with artists writing, composing, and performing their own songs, is huge. Being surrounded by so much talent pushes me to keep evolving. Music keeps opening new doors, and there is always scope for learning. There’s no finish line; you just keep moving.”
She shared advice for emerging artists: “When things get intense, it’s essential to stay true to yourself. Many will tell you what to do, but staying authentic is what sets you apart and makes you shine.”
I-POPSTAR is now streaming for free on Amazon MX Player. New episodes drop every Friday to Sunday at 12 PM and are available across mobile devices, Connected TVs, the Amazon shopping app, Prime Video, Fire TV, and Airtel Xtreme.
