My real guru are my experiences in life - the realisation that you are alone in this world came very early to me.

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

For us Indians, I don't think English can ever exude that magic of emotions which our mother tongue can.

A man with a silver spoon may get his share of supporters, but he can never be an inspiration for somebody! Patience and hard work are the key to every man's success.

Singing is my passion, my first love and the secret of my energy. Music to me is like finding my inner self, my soul. It gives me a great joy to see audiences enjoying with me. I have given my heart to singing. When I sing, I can feel romance in everything around me.

We are all souls, and what I have learnt so far is that while God is male, the souls created by Him are female, so I always had women as my theme, as they are dedicated to Him.

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