What is music to you? What does it give you?

Music is a language of sound, expression, personality and cultures. Music is my life and happiness.

What is your music dream?

Would like to play any melody in any time signitures with good presentations and ofcourse with good musicians.

If you could change the world - what would you start with?

Spirituality with common sense is above all religions. I hope this world will realize it? If it comes to social terms? Keeping ethno & ethrocentricism aside.

Which is the most memorable song from your childhood?

Beat it - Michael Jackson

Who are your favorite musical artists or bands?

Gary Moore is my favourite guitarist. Favourite band is Deep Purple.

What inspires you to make music?

I live in a dream world. Dreams!!

What is the message you want to send with your music?

It’s nice playing hundred notes and beeing fast, but make it enjoyable to a novice. Let the sound make people understand and enjoy. Basically, have fun, ease out and forget everything else.

How do you feel when you perform in front of an audience?

I am a live performer. I get a kick out of performing. My audience gets a kick out of me.

How do you see the musicians’ reality nowadays? What could be improved?

The irony today is that everyone wants everything free. From free downloads to cheap performances. That has killed musicians. Gone are the good old days of sex, drugs, alcohol and Rock n Roll. There is no culture any more. It is like, “A star tonight and bankrupt in the morning.”

What do you think of Drooble?

Fantastic, creative and thoughtful development by founders for musicians. Musicians need to take the advantage of this network and create a stronger community for their future.

What frustrates you most as a musician?

Bad payments and bad treatment.

Do you support your local scene as a fan? How?

I go and listen to local musicians. Buy, my drinks. Also participate in sessions. If I am enjoying the band? I offer a round of drinks. i.e If I can afford it at that time? But, I always treat special artist with respect. As music is a spiritual gift.

What qualities should a musician nowadays have in order to get their music heard by a larger audience?

There are so many good musicians these days. The ones who are computer and internet savy. I guess?

Share some awesome artists that we’ve never heard of.

Prasanna - A guitarist who is a overall genius. Zakir Husain, Shiv Kumar. I like SoapGirls too!!
