We have a long way to go!
I classify my music as Electro World Dream Pop—it has a bit of all of those elements. Being able to write songs based on my life and experiences, and having an audience sing them or dance to them, is hugely fulfilling! It’s amazing to see people transported to another world for the duration of that song or concert. Every performance has an insane story to it, and when the audience requests me for my original songs, it’s the best feeling ever!”

“I’m told I was three years old when I volunteered to sing at my uncle’s wedding. I had made up my own gibberish lyrics and sang a Punjabi folk song. Everyone was rather impressed actually, and my mother noticed my inclination towards music. She has taught music all her life, and became my first guru, too. Being a musician gives you the license to zone out in the middle of a conversation, without a reason... musicians are legit dreamers, after all! Even as a kid, it used to be very hard for me to study in silence. The slightest sound—a vehicle honking, or the buzzing noise that the tube light on the wall makes—would make me catch the ‘sur’ and break into a song!
