Only after coming to Chennai did I come to know that I know nothing about music. People in Chennai are so talented in Carnatic, ghazals, etc. They can play Piano, etc so well.
As a teen, I enjoyed Sufi music and ghazals the most. But as my career began, I drifted off to playback and other streams over the years.
I think I have the capability to make music different from what I have already released. There are ghazals and other songs that I can create. There is no stopping me though.
I am very fond of ghazals. I like ghazals from Jagjit Singh and Sir Ghulam Ali.
I grew up listening to Hindi music, ghazals and all.
As I was born and brought up in Himachal Pradesh, I used to listen to a lot of Hindi songs over radio apart from ghazals, western music, and 'Himachali' folk songs.
Indian music is brilliant and for me, anyway, (this is only personal) it's got everything in it. I still like electronics and all sorts of music if it's good but Indian music is just... an untouchable you can't say what it is, because it just is.
I have sung all kinds of songs - be it ghazals, qawwalis, romantic numbers or peppy numbers.
