A fair chunk of Anshuman Sharma's repertoire features the keyboard. And over a call from his Delhi home, where he's currently spending time during the lockdown, he tells us that he can play the guitar and ukulele, too. Then, he pauses to add, "But I'm very mediocre." At the time of writing this article, the reticent musician-producer's video on how to make a Ritviz song in two minutes had over 1.7 million views on Instagram and over 42K likes on Twitter. There's singer Prakriti Kakkar who's commented, "I want this track on my phone plz," Tanmay Bhat, who tagging Ritviz, simply pointed out the accuracy, and Ritviz who himself retweeted the video to concur that it was "on point."

The two-minute tutorial is the perfect Ritviz recipe ­— you start by picking an environment-friendly word like "baarish" or "roshni" and conclude by getting inspired by South Indian marriage songs. The idea itself, unlike the production, isn't entirely original, Sharma tells us; many YouTube channels including most-famously Composerily have latched on to it. The 24-year-old didn't really follow Ritviz's music, barring a couple songs. What prompted him to work on this project, though, was the fact that a follower, referencing one of his earlier videos, commented how his style matched Ritviz's. "This wasn't just a two-minute thing. I took a couple of days to work on it," Sharma maintains.
