Rolling Stone India: Since the inception of your first song until now, how has the journey unfolded?
Dabzee: Well, it's been nothing short of a dream come true, I must say. Even back in the day, as I listened to music, vivid imagery always accompanied the sounds. To this day, that ability to visualize aids me greatly in my writing process and creative endeavors.
I'm truly grateful for where I stand now, having been signed by Mass Appeal India, marking a significant milestone, particularly as the first artist from the South to do so. Collaborating with KSHMR, a longstanding aspiration of mine, has also become a reality, alongside other esteemed partners like Vedan. It's truly indescribable-the feeling of dreaming something and then seeing it come to fruition.
