I have always said and maintained that I think being an RJ is the most difficult job in the media business. To have that energy and animation in your voice alone, to capture your audiences through your show, is entertainment in the true sense.
Bollywood is a tough place to be in and survival isn't easy.
I want to thank Bollywood for accepting me and loving me the way I am and my songs. Bollywood has given me the reach.
Downloading a song for free is the easiest way to get all kinds of music. Everything else is tough and I am sure, even if people wanted to buy music, they won't be able to because they will not understand the way to buy music online. It is a very complicated process.
I want my fans to listen to my music. Period.
It's hard to find parking space in Delhi and the traffic sucks there.
The shopping centres that have come up in Noida are amazing. There are amusement parks and other good family outing spots.
For me, safety is a huge parameter for a city's progress. If your city is safe, it is progressing.
I am a very chatpata guy.
So many kids meet me and they get disappointed. They ask me to wear shades and behave in the way I do in my songs. Then I have to explain it to them that I am like this in real life, more composed, chilled out and cool.
The image that is on screen is very different from who I am in real life.
Artistes never make their image. Image is made by the fans and the artiste's job is to fight that perception.
Everything is temporary. I don't know how long will I have my time here in the industry. I want to concentrate in making good music. That will be my biggest satisfaction.
The whole idea of performing before an audience is fun and organic.
As a successful artist it is my job to give the indie scene as much of a push as I can.
When I bring my music to a live audience, I know right away whether it is being appreciated or not.
I'm a hardcore performer. The rest follows.
Whenever I work on a song, my focus is on the listeners who follow my type of music.
Both the industries, be it Bollywood or music, have been really kind to me.
I live in Chandigarh and people have become more conscious there. Especially the younger generation, they are very aware and proactive. People take pain to stop and throw trash in dustbins.
