Q. You are a Hindi band; is it difficult to survive the rat-race when numerous non-Hindi bands are dominating
the market?
A. Yes, it is little difficult for a Hindi band to make their existence felt. While musical venues mostly opt for an English band for their live gigs; in Bollywood they want you to be a typical well-versed playback singer. A live performance is normally seen as hard-hitting dance music and is mostly about instruments. So, when I started, I was stuck at some point thinking about which way to go. But being an independent musician gave me scope to experiment and make the kind of music. That is why we released this album on the internet first, and now it will be out in CD format.

Q. What will you be working on after this album?
A. I am recording a single with singer Alisha Chinai that we will release online shortly. I am also doing music for a Bengali movie named Ami Khoob Shoonder and there is a Bollywood movie for which work will start soon. I am glad that I am in the profession where you are not restricted to language or country barriers and can entertain people with your tunes.
