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.

I don't listen to Bollywood music much. But yes, I listen to Indian music quite often, and other non- film music.

I play the harmonium. I had learned to use the guitar for a bit before becoming a part of the music industry, but unfortunately didn't pursue it fully. I would love to learn to play the piano because it holds a unique connect for me in terms of rhythm.

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

A right balance between music and lyrics is important. Music complements lyrics.

My music is not just about entertainment. It is about enlightenment also.
