In a way, Delhi has contributed in my journey to become a successful singer.

I was offered a jingle, and that led to another one, followed by composing music for documentaries. It got me in contact with other artistes on the scene. We would meet, jam up, and that's how Silk Route was formed.

If I had planned to be a singer, I would have got trained. In fact, I was more into theatre and plays while growing up.

I am getting to work with some good musicians, artistes, and composers.

After Silk Route disbanded I came on my own, and through the years, I have sung a few film songs while writing songs for my album.

Music, to me, is something that connects to the soul.

I don't do any special preparations before recording any number, nothing like deep breathing or meditation.

I just try to sing every song with sincerity.

I try to sing every number to the best of my ability, and I am glad people like it. I believe every number is special with a soul of its own.

It's a great feeling to be appreciated by music lovers.

There's always a market for music.

When you sing for a film, you are not in control, because somebody else is directing it; somebody is doing the lyrics.

It's very challenging to be a playback singer in Bollywood.

Acting was always there in my mind, but I never tried too hard to take it up. I had to pay my bills, so I did whatever came my way. Music happened first, so I took it up quite passionately.

Who could think that children from the pockets of Himalaya sing folklore from Scotland and vice versa? Such an education in the initial years develops compassion and mutual respect for each other's skills.

One of the most iconic films ever made was 'Sholay.'

I studied science. And I had a group of friends who were heavily into music and theatre.

It was in Delhi when I started doing jingles and making money through music.

One has to create music with mass appeal and not something which is niche. With niche music, you will only go a small distance.

You should create music which comes from within and not bother about anything else.

In terms of creativity, both are equally satisfying. Music album is for yourself, where you compose songs and stuff like that, and in films, you have a story, characters, and songs penned by someone else.

Music has always been a part of my life. It's my way of expression.

'Fitoor,' in a way, signifies my journey through the years. It's a collection of 10 songs that I have written. It's basically about what I have been experiencing.

I like traveling, eating, and relaxing at home.
