My songs are all about celebrating poignant music. While some of them focus on fun and revelry, they are fortunately backed by powerful lyrics. Put together, the lyrics, tune and my voice strive to take the songs to the next level.
I am not a methodical singer. I don't follow any process or rules; what I follow is just my heart - whatever I experience, I just write and then compose it.
Nepal is a beautiful country with a lot of holy places. I also like the country because it's close to the Himalayas. According to Hindu mythology, that's the abode of Lord Shiva.
I love listening to songs that are from the heart and that touch the heart. So, love is the preferred theme for most of the songs that I sing.
My inspiration comes from the common man and nature.
Music companies and buyers are not too encouraging towards independent musicians. Everyone wants to play safe and go with established names, but unless one breaks this routine, no new talent will come and survive.
Bollywood is huge. Anything that's made in large quantity will evidently overshadow others. But that won't stop artistes from making albums. A person who has faith in his music will go ahead.
The confidence that we Indians are suddenly infused with while doing something wrong is absolutely commendable.
Music is not a work for me - it's a form of meditation, and you don't need to work hard for it.
When the audience enjoys your performance, you feel like a magician who is doing magic. It's a great feeling!
I have been getting offers from international artistes for collaboration all across the globe, but I prefer to work with Indian artistes.
I have created a new genre. It is a soulful creation that comes straight from my heart.
My music is not just about entertainment. It is about enlightenment also.
Singing is a limitless form of expression, and I love to experiment with my work.
A. R. Rahman is truly India's Mozart. His music is celebrated worldwide.
I have cut four albums so far, and all of them have been trendsetters and commercially successful. I believe that once you start taking art in commercial terms, it ceases to be art.
Money and good life had never been my goal.
It's a whole new world out here. The online world is like a blackboard on which, when you write, the whole world can see - and I'm thrilled about this development. I want to make full use of it.
We want our music to reach everybody, so we're using the Internet. Every kid today is online, and we want to make sure our songs reach every one of them.
The problem with working under an outside label is that your music never seems to reach the right people.
