Apart from work, whatever pending things I have to do, I do it in Murshidabad.
-
I like to read Bengali novels and short stories. I am not that fond of reading English books, as I don't have a connect with it.
-
At times, when I reach my saturation point, I go to some random place and throw my phone away.
-
I like to compose, but only for myself. I write my own lyrics and compose the music around them.
-
I wanted to be someone who wanted to produce music, and here I am, and I'm happy about it.
-
I've been singing one kind of genre for a long time but have always tried to push to new auras about picking new songs or the same kind of genre but trying to sing it differently, treating it differently.
-
I've done a couple of songs which are not up to the mark. So, mentally, I've set a goal that I should be more dynamic and try and push myself as much as I can.
-
I have one favourite song, and that's 'Aayat' from 'Bajirao Mastani.'
-
I am a simple man who comes from a village, and villagers like us speak our mind. Now, in the process, if unknowingly my words came across as disrespectful or insulting, then I am deeply sorry. I don't want to hurt anyone.
-
When I joined the music scene, a lot of big-ticket singers were not getting good work... It was a lean phase.
-
I have always wanted to become a musician and a singer.
-
I still don't have a car. I still travel by public transport. I take autos to travel to and fro for recordings.
-
I have always liked to live my life in a quiet and peaceful manner. I used to lead my life that way. But the rise in social media has certainly affected me. Now I am always noticed.
-
I'm bad in front of the camera. However, if someone gave me a small role in a film with two dialogues and one scene, I'd do it.
-
I would not understand when people will tell me that 'Tum hi ho' has got more than 1 million views on YouTube. I was like, 'How does it make a difference?' Later, I would go to YouTube and see songs of Rihanna, Enrique etc. and would see their hits. Then I came to know the importance. Nowadays, you can judge from these sites how big is a sing.
-
More people are asking me to come and sing for them, so obviously I am getting more work. But apart from singing, I have been parallely programming and producing music tracks and assisting music directors. That is my bread and butter, which is how I survived in Mumbai. Now I can't leave it.
-
Reality shows give a great platform to young singers, but kids shouldn't be exposed to showbiz at a very young age.
-
In reality shows, you have to perform once and prove yourself, and after that, it is a process to prove yourself every day.
-
When my voice breaks, it recovers automatically. I don't do anything special to maintain my voice. I have a natural voice and don't have to take care of it.
-
My grandma's into music. My mom is a singer. Even my sister is a much better singer than I am. So you could say music runs in the family.
-
I am songwriter. I do compose the music of songs that I write in Bengali. But I've never thought of composing for a film. That's a different art altogether.
-
Singing for a documentary that benefits the underprivileged remains one of my biggest dreams.
-
When I'm not singing, I'm a lot of persons: I'm a producer. I'm a badminton player. I'm a writer. I'm a movie freak. I'm a documentary maker.
-
I've always tried to avoid electronic music in India because whatever songs I got in the genre I didn't really enjoy singing them - I didn't like the arrangements.
