There was a moment after I started working on my final project where I just sat down and began experimenting with different instruments and melodies and working creatively in the program. That was the moment I realized that I had full creative control with the tools I learned to use, and I could make something really awesome. That was probably my favourite moment 🙂
The song sounds so good and the video was so cute!
Thanks!
The video was a masterpiece 🙂 and the song is kinda bangin tho, 11/10! Definitely will be adding to playlists. Question, what would you say your favourite part of the music making process was?
Thank you! My favourite part of the process was definitely adding MIDI instruments. Digital instruments are so much easier to customize and work with than recording audio, and adding all those different sounds really made the music come to life.
Super weird hearing my name over and over, but amazing video, Indah! Loved it!
Haha yeah, you and my mentor share the same name. Thanks so much!
Beautiful song, Indah! I really enjoyed the chords, vocals, and ukelele to create a unique and relaxing atmosphere.
Thank you! 🙂
Indah, this is incredible! I absolutely loved Hope For The Summer – I was super excited to hear it ever since I got that first preview a while ago! I was wondering if there are any artists (other than your mentor, of course!) that inspired you during the songwriting and producing process. Thanks for sharing this!!
Ahh thank you so much Grace I’m so glad you like it! The reference track that I was using is “Hideaway” by Grace Vanderwaal, and she has been a huge inspiration in my music since middle school. I actually wrote this song a year ago when I was much more into her, so she’s a big influence. Other than her specifically I was inspired by other singer-songwriter indie musicians like Dodi, Chloe Moriondo, and mxmtoon.
Yes girl!! So honoured to have been able to be a part of this. You are gonna be the next big thing, I feel it! So proud of you, your skills are already so far beyond where I was when I started. YOU DID IT!!
Thank you so much Anja!!! I really couldn’t have done any of this without you, I’m going to be taking everything you’ve taught me with me in all my music from here on out. Thank you for being such an amazing inspiration and supportive mentor and friend!
What a beautiful song, Indah! It sounds like you have learned a great deal. Looking forward to hearing more of your music in the future.

Thank you so much! So glad you enjoyed it 🙂
That was super beautiful, Indah <3 Have a wonderful rest of In-Depth
Thank you! Enjoy the rest of your evening!
Indah, I know I say this every time but how are you THIS GOOD AT MUSIC! Song is a certified banger, it’s so good!
Thanks Nathan! If Nathan says it’s a certified banger than i guess I’ve just won at life.
Wow! You have learned how to produce your own creations. I was super impressed with the layers of sound. I look forward to hearing your tastes develop and evolve. You are so talented. Thank you for sharing your gift.
Thank you Meagan! I’m so glad you like it 🙂
Your song “hope for the summer” is so beautiful Indah!!
Thank you Mel! 🙂
You are so talented Indah! Look forward to hearing more of your music in the future!
Thanks so much!
Ahh, I loved the song!! I am probably going to put it on repeat all night tonight! Great job and keep making more songs. <3
Ahh thank you Natalie! 🙂 I’m so glad you like it
Hi Indah…Angie here! SO impressed by all the work that went into your song. Very impressive how you learned to produce your own music (not just write it and sing it). You must be so proud of your final product! EXCELLENT! I love the song!
What a pretty song! You have a very nice voice. I enjoyed this very much Indah. Good stuff!!
Thanks Yunmin !
So so good Indah!! You’re beyond talented and I really loved Hope For The Summer
Thanks Simran!
Your music is beautiful as always! And the video you made with it is also super well done!
Thank youuu!:)
Indah – It has been such a treat to watch your amazing skills develop from back at Kway to now! 🙂 This sounds like this was the perfect In-depth for you. Congratulations…I can really sense your digging-in to this process and learning.
Thank you so much Ms. Lewis! It’s definitely been a journey developing my songwriting since middle school.
Wow… I can’t believe you were able to do all that on your own. Great job, and don’t stop!
Thanks Colby 🙂
Indah this is PHENOMENAL!! How!?!? You are so so talented and telligent and your videos were fantastic! WOW!!
Haha thank you so much!! 🙂
Really beautiful Indah! Nice work
Thank you Mr. Salisbury!
Wow Indah! That really was an amazing song! I can tell you’ve put in a lot of passion into your music.
Thanks Indah…I really appreciated you walking us through the process! Your final product is so professional..I love the stripped down start and then the building up of layers and then ending with simplicity again! How much would you say it would cost to set up to produce one’s own music in terms of hardare? Thank you!
Thank you Ms. Quach! I would say if you are aiming to get the basics a simple mic, an interface, and a MIDI keyboard, the total price range would be around $400- $450. However, as long as you have a good DAW (such as Pro Tools First, which is free) you can still make some pretty insane music using just your laptop.
