like Bollywood and Cricket. The only thing
is that Young Indian artists need to travel
more to Europe and the States and learn
more about the origins and history of house
and techno and other genres so they can
understand the music in a deeper way. Just
watching you tube will not give the full
picture. This is one area where I feel we
need to grow more. We have lots of talent
but the local talent has not discovered the
whole spectrum of electronic music. Most
have just scratched the surface so lots more
learning needed. However I am confident
that we will be major players in the global
electronic music scene. It is already
happening and exciting to ride this wave
and be a part of this.
You have not only collaborated
with International big names but
also Punjabi artists. How do you
differentiate both the experiences?
I collaborated with Jasbir Jassi on
experimental Punjabi Sufi Deep House
Tracks. One of them called Allah Hoo
was number 4 in the World Soulful House
charts!!! Jasbir Jassi is very open to other
genres of music. He is a super performer
and extremely spontaneous and a free
flowing singer so it was a real treat to work
with him and get such a top notch result.
I have also collaborated with Yungchen
Llhamofrom Tibet who is a famous world
music artist signed to real world records
which is Peter Gabriel's Label in the U.K
Do you have any new releases on
the cards?
Our Documentary Album Launch is
happening in October 2017. We have made
a One Hour Documentary of our journey
through India and Portugal and documented
this through a film and Album. 2017 is a big
year for us. Manu Idhra & Marco Oliviera
from Portugal and I have partnered up to
work this documentary series together.
Your message to aspiring artists
Don't sell out! Music is an art! You should
only make music from the heart and not get
stuck into playing and making music you
don't like just to pay your bills. If you make
the music you love eventually your bills get
paid and people appreciate you for being
yourself and contributing in a heartfelt and
an authentic way. Music should always be
honest from the heart and soul. Never from
a practical mind set or to follow a trend.
Also Travel Travel Travel!!! Go to different
countries and travel for music to get
exposed or else you will live with a limited
view.
