(MENAFNEditorial) Monojit Shil, a well-known name in West Bengal's music industry who has also made significant contributions to the Indian music scene, has announced the launch of his new music label "Western Melodies" in Siliguri.

The label will be based in Siliguri and aims to support talented artists from West Bengal and nearby regions. Western Melodies will focus on discovering new talent, providing quality music production, and helping musicians reach bigger audiences.

Talking about his new venture, Monojit Shil shared his thoughts on what Western Melodies means for local artists. "I've always felt that musicians in our region have immense talent but they don't get proper opportunities. Many struggle because they can't access good studios or industry connections. That's why I decided to start Western Melodies," he explained. "Siliguri is a unique place where different cultures come together. It's perfect for nurturing diverse musical talent."

The label will work with artists across different genres—from folk and classical to modern fusion and contemporary music. Western Melodies will offer complete support including professional recording facilities, music production, digital distribution, and marketing to help artists build their careers.

Siliguri, often called the gateway to Northeast India, has a rich cultural heritage. But the region hasn't had much professional music infrastructure till now. Western Melodies aims to change that and bring new energy to the local music scene.

"We're looking for genuine artists who want to experiment while staying true to their roots. Whether you're a folk singer, playback artist, or independent musician, Western Melodies will give you the resources and support you need," Monojit Shil added.

Music industry people see this as an important development for North Bengal. By supporting local talent with professional production, the label could help regional artists compete at national and even international levels.

Western Melodies will start operations soon and plans to announce its first artists and projects in the coming months. The label is also setting up state-of-the-art recording studios in Siliguri, making professional facilities available to local musicians.

With Monojit Shil's experience in the music industry, Western Melodies is expected to make a real difference for emerging artists in West Bengal and beyond. This venture is not just about business—it's about preserving our musical heritage while embracing new sounds.

Artists interested in working with Western Melodies can get in touch through the label's official channels once operations begin.
