The initial days were not without their share of struggle. He says that the ongoing talent hunt shows give the youngsters a much-needed platform however there were no such things at his time and he had to march through the ways all by himself. But he takes pleasure in the fact that he had to struggle to make his way to the top. "Soon after I landed in Mumbai Kalyanji spotted me and took me in as part of a world tour. It gave me immense recognition and a huge platform. Later, I was part of many music concerts and world tours. But at that time, one remix or one hit song mattered a lot. Of course, the major turning point of my career was Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai," he says. After long days of struggle he tasted success and today he is proud of the many remixes and hit songs to his credit. He puts in that along with recognition and name, he also looks forward to awards and achievements. "Today, in this rat race, awards matter a lot and I want to win them all." On the ongoing music scene he says that the changing trends have meant a setback to the concept of playback singing. Anyone can be a singer now. |
