In 'Boondien' I worked with a band where everyone had their own instrument to play.
I am getting to work with some good musicians, artistes, and composers.
If I had planned to be a singer, I would have got trained. In fact, I was more into theatre and plays while growing up.
I was offered a jingle, and that led to another one, followed by composing music for documentaries. It got me in contact with other artistes on the scene. We would meet, jam up, and that's how Silk Route was formed.
Friendship formed in the glamour industry comes with mutual benefits, which is nice, but it is not the real deal.
In a way, Delhi has contributed in my journey to become a successful singer.
For an artiste like me, it was very difficult to focus on studies with a beautiful campus around me.
I used to spend a lot of time dreaming and writing poetry.
I had a lot of Bengali friends in Delhi. The bands there had Bengali musicians: for example, Indian Ocean. We use to have a good amount of adda and sing songs through the night.
I have always loved singing.
I am really thankful to the audiences that they have appreciated all my songs and I have managed to touch their soul.
I am completely attached to my roots, and therefore you will see a Pahadi touch in all my albums.
I firmly believe the way forward for our nation is to have a robust democracy.
Marriage is definitely a very comforting feeling.
Classroom singing is common in India, but no one gives you marks for that. My idea is to introduce music and singing as full-fledged subject so that talent can be polished at an early stage. Also, it will help alleviate stage fear.
Music is part of our culture.
Though I did M.Sc. from Dharamshala, I was always attracted towards music.
I would love to compose for an entire film because it will be a different experience.
When you are travelling, there's romance, and there's music.
I don't think Bollywood is my ultimate destination; I believe it's a part of my journey.
