It has been an exciting start to June for visual artist Santanu Hazarika. A couple of weeks ago, the American R&B producer, singer and rapper Anderson. Paak (Brandon Paak Anderson) dropped in the city for a concert, and Hazarika was among the many fans who attended. “I have always been a big fan, and a friend who was organising the show invited me over. I was also there to catch up with friends like Seedhe Maut, but we had a meeting. Paak backstage was a delight,” he shared. Incidentally, the visual artist had been working on a creation that paid homage to the Grammy award-winning producer. “I had already created this portrait in my style that had him singing into a mic, with his signature ‘Yes Lawd’. But when I saw him, he first said, ‘I like your fit.’ That was a compliment I was not expecting,” Hazarika revealed. Apart from sharing notes on music and travels, across India. Paak also left the artist with a valuable gift. “He gave me a signed vinyl of his second album, Malibu. It is always nice to have a multiple Grammy Award-winner sign a memento to show off,” Hazarika told this diarist.
