Tell us how you started your musical journey
My musical journey started all thanks to the meet brothers,
I use to sing at parties for karaoke nights and that’s where the
meet brothers spotted me singing in great sur and taal as per
them & they thought music was my calling & I should pursue it
professionally & start doing it on stage and make money out of
something I love to do so that’s just how simply my music career
started
You are also an Actor. How do you manage to be
multi talented and do well in all aspects? What's
your secret mantra?
I think all in all its performing on stage that just comes naturally
to me so whether its acting, vjing or singing or dancing I think
all in all I was just born to perform & born to entertain & right
from the time I was in school I would love to take the centre stage
& love to dance & sing for all my friends and teachers & perform
for them & I think that’s when the performance ka keeda really
bit me. I don’t think there can be any secret mantra to do what
you love to do so I think as long as you enjoying what you doing
you really don’t need any secret tonic to work its magic on you, I
think some things just come naturally, so does this.
You've sung for commercial films and also
independently. Which do you enjoy more and
why?
I think the main difference between doing commercial music &
independent singles is that when you are doing commercial music
you are catering to a particular requirement of a film ,a scene or
a director or a producer, whereas if you doing independent music
or singles you can make the kind of music that you love to make
irrespective of any pre-set situations or requirement. So I think
as musicians, independent music gives you a lot more scope
to explore & present yourself the way you would want to viz a
vi commercial music where you would have to stick to certain
demands requirements given to you.
Any albums to look out for?
My latest track PAGALON SA NAACH from junooniyat is just
out & its very different from what you heard in girl I need you,so
its totally a different vibe, totally different song, so that’s one
album that I would love my audiences to check out & give me
there precious their precious and valuable feedback.
Which has been your best song ever and why?
The first love is always the love that you remember the
most so I think for me my first love has to be pink lips. The
song that got me into the Bollywood playback industry
& that song is always going to be special to me because
A. it was picturised on sunny leone who is one of my
hot favourites at this time and because its so fondly
remembered & whenever I go & perform pinklips on
shows people love it & sing along so just to see people
enjoying that song so much makes me very happy.
Message to readers of the magazine.
My message to readers of score would be to dream
& then accomplish those dreams. I think life is very
short & 1 should just be open to accepting whatever
challenges come your way & give your very best &
leave the rest to god. I think we have the power to
shape your own destiny, if not write it, so I think all
those people who have big dreams & ambitions now
is the time to get up & go catch your dreams & make
them a reality.
Where do you get inspiration from?
Well you know my entry in music is been all thanks to the push
that the meet brothers gave me & I know them since the time
they use to run a liquor business in the north & to see them
make career path for themselves from running a liquor business
to starting their own radio channel & then coming into music
& becoming one of the most iconic music directors is I think
extremely inspiring the way the boys have worked so hard to get
to where they are, I think it’s truly inspiring story & they inspire
me a lot, they are very motivated ,very energetic, full of passion
for what they do & I think that is the most inspiring thing.
Artists you would love to work with and why?
Well there are for any singer who enters this industry at this
age,they definetly want to sing a duet with arijit singh & that
dream of mine has come true with GIRL I NEED YOU from
Baaghi, bt I think a music composer I would love to work with is
MR. A.R. Rahman , I think to sing one of his compositions which
are truly timeless is gone be absolutely a dream come true so ya I
think its gonna be A.R.Rahman.
