I've experienced many hardships, but mentally, I've always been older, and that reflects in my actions, too.

Don't take things too seriously, and just chill.

Money and good life had never been my goal.

I have been getting offers from international artistes for collaboration all across the globe, but I prefer to work with Indian artistes.

I don't add any deliberate nuances to the way I sing. I've seen so much and been all over the world, but I'm glued to my roots, and that comes across.

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.
