Peecha Chhodo’ Is Just the Beginning: Kavya Limaye on Finding Her Artistic Identity and Building a Future in Original Music

New Delhi : After spending nearly two decades growing up with music, singer Kavya Limaye is entering a chapter that feels both exciting and deeply personal. Her first original pop single, Peecha Chhodo, marks the beginning of a journey that she hopes will continue for years to come, one in which every release reveals another part of who she is.

Kavya has been singing and performing since she was four. Music has always been central to her life, shaping her experiences and allowing her to connect with audiences across different stages and settings. Yet, for a long time, the idea of releasing original music was not something she had actively considered.

That changed around a year ago.

She began experiencing a growing sense that there was something more she wanted to contribute as an artist. Beyond singing songs and performing for audiences, she wanted to create stories that came directly from her own experiences. She wanted people to understand her not just through the songs she performed, but through the music she imagined, composed and wrote herself.

It was a realisation that felt almost like discovering a new purpose.

The decision, however, came with its share of uncertainty. Kavya wondered whether she should venture into original music and whether she was ready to take that step. Eventually, the desire to create something of her own became stronger than the hesitation.

And then came the melody that started it all.

While listening to Ariana Grande songs in her living room, Kavya suddenly found herself with a tune in her head. Unable to shake it off, she shared it with her songwriting collaborator, describing the emotions and feelings that came with the melody. The first two lines soon followed, and the two began developing the song together.

What started as an informal exchange of musical ideas eventually became a full-fledged composition. The melody gradually acquired its lyrical and musical identity, and once there was enough material to work with, Kavya took the song into production.

The outcome was Peecha Chhodo, a Hindi-English pop track that introduces listeners to a more personal and contemporary side of Kavya.

For the first time, she has composed a song and co-written its lyrics. She has also sung the track and featured in its music video, making this release a collection of significant creative milestones. The lyrics are written by Kavya and Shivansh Jindal, while Anshuman Sharma has produced the song.

What makes Peecha Chhodo particularly important is that Kavya sees it as a reflection of her own personality and life experiences. The song is not an attempt to fit into an existing musical mould. Instead, it is a first expression of the kind of artist she wants to become: someone who can experiment, tell stories, and explore different emotions through original compositions.

The music video further expands this identity. With its girly, sassy and pop-inspired aesthetic, it gives the song a visual personality of its own. It is also Kavya’s first appearance as a featured performer in a music video, making the shoot an unforgettable experience.

She describes the feeling of watching the project come together as overwhelming. What had started as one spontaneous thought while sitting at home had now developed into an entire production, with numerous people working together to bring her vision to life.

For an artist experiencing the process of original music-making for the first time, that transformation was extraordinary.

But perhaps the most interesting aspect of Kavya’s new chapter is what she wants to do next.

She does not view Peecha Chhodo as a standalone experiment or a one-off creative departure. It is the first step in a much larger commitment to original music. Her intention is to release songs consistently and continue sharing different parts of herself with the world.

This also means allowing herself the freedom to evolve. Rather than confining her artistic identity to one sound or genre, she wants to explore different musical directions and express different sides of her personality through future releases.

For listeners, this opens up the possibility of getting to know Kavya in an entirely new way. Every song can become a chapter, every music video an extension of her imagination, and every release an opportunity to create a deeper connection with her audience.

There is also something refreshing about the fact that her journey into original music began with curiosity rather than a carefully mapped-out career plan. A melody appeared; she followed it, collaborated with people who understood the vision, and allowed the idea to grow.

That willingness to take a chance is ultimately what Peecha Chhodo represents.

Kavya Limaye has already spent years building her relationship with music and audiences. Now, she is ready to put her own stories at the centre of that relationship.

Her first original pop single is an introduction, her first music video is a new creative experience, and her ambitions for the future are only beginning to take shape.

If Peecha Chhodo is the first glimpse into her world as an original music artist, there is a lot more of Kavya Limaye waiting to be discovered.
