I grew up in a multi-cultural society with Bollywood film music and Punjabi folk music. Later I discovered Motown, Soul, RnB etc. And these as such add in to your creativity. I would describe my music as Global Pop music as it is Popular music and yet again has the very many global influences in it. Listen Discovering new influences.
New influences are daily occurrences.
They could be domestic situations or others. I was in Africa a couple of weeks before I came here in Mumbai . The silence and the beautiful plains of the region inspired me to write a ballad. I d wake up at 4 am and there I d be writing away. My influence of people range from George Michael , Prince , Bob Marley , Martin Luther King , Gandhi , to The Carpenters , Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan , Gurdas Mann and lots more.
