:
First of all, congratulations on your latest project “Let There Be Love”! Tell us a bit about your inspiration behind this song?
Thanks so much! So, I wrote this track in lockdown, as a response to these unprecedented global events and the situation we all found ourselves in because of them. I am immensely lucky and grateful to have been kept safe from a virus which has killed so many and threatened so many livelihoods. I suddenly found myself stuck in LA, not being able to visit family for an extended amount of time, and it reminded me again that by far the most important thing in life is Love, in all its forms. It reminded me to stay connected with my loved ones because really that’s everything. That’s what the song is basically about; about Love and finding beautiful things even in the darkest times. If you look at the lyrics, I have spoken a lot about family.
For any musician in today’s time, seeing your name on the official charts is a big deal, and you’re the first Indian artist ever to do so even prior to your song’s release. How does that make you feel as an artist?
It’s pretty surreal but it makes me feel unbelievably proud to have been on Sirius Hits Top 40! And then to hear the song play on Radio Disney and Nickelodeon which I used to be a fan of when I was younger – I can’t describe the feeling!
I feel really honoured to represent India internationally with my music. When people from the West think of Indian music, the first thought that comes to their mind is film music. In fact, there’s so much amazing music coming out of India right now, in all genres – hip-hop, electro, rock, pop. I want to help people embrace our music and make India proud in doing so.
