Welcome to HUSTLE, GRIND & FLOW, the three-part feature series from Onmanorama that takes you inside the independent music revolution happening in Kerala. In this first episode, "Hustle," we meet the members of WATB, an independent artist collective from Kochi, just as their pivotal year begins.

This is an unfiltered look at the brutal, non-stop fight to build a sustainable career from scratch in a country where the indie scene is still fighting for respect and monetisation.

Watch as the collective pours their soul into creation, dealing with the realities of the business, the pressure of expectations, and the sheer effort it takes just to get their music heard. This isn't just about making music. This is about the story of a movement.
