Fame, for me, is different. Fame, for me, is not seeing myself on big billboards: it is when I go on a street and people connect to me. If I going to walk on the street, I know I can get 100,000 people following me.
I got a lot of support from the entire industry, stars like Akshay Kumar. A. R. Rahman told me to keep doing the good work and not get bogged down by anything.
I am not anyone's brother, and I only have one younger sister. I don't consider my counterpart rappers as my brothers.
Music industry is a very competitive field, and one has to continuously entertain and excite the audience, which is a difficult task.
I'd request politicians to stop diverting attention from the actual issues that affect the country. Please stop resorting to soft targets like singers and musicians as scapegoats.
I used to be the occasional social drinker earlier. But now my intake of alcohol has ceased completely. I want to be fighting fit for the boxing ring.
Just as I have broken the monopoly of film music as being synonymous with popular music in our country, I want to prove that cricket is not the only glamorous sport.
I am happy film stars are singing in their films. I hope to work as a music director for a film where actors will sing all the songs.
I wish to contribute more to south Indian music, especially Tamil music.
The Indian music scene is completely dominated by Bollywood music. We need to create space for indi-pop music.
My dream is to take the Indian independent music scene to an international level. People like Alisha Chinai, Baba Sehgal and Daler Mehndi took it to a very high level. My ultimate target is to win a Grammy. I don't want to primarily be a Bollywood playback singer.
Every revolutionary poet or lyricist has been criticised for something. If you come up with something new, there will always be people who will object to it.
I don't consider myself just a rapper or just a singer. I'm a music producer, lyricist. I'm a poet as well, and acting is also a part of big entertainment.
It's never easy for me to say goodbye. I get attached to people very quickly, and with 'Raw Stars,' my connection is even more special. I'm in love with their music and perhaps their biggest fan. I think every artiste on the show is mind-blowing.
I started as a music director in Punjab and then started singing.
If an offer comes my way, I would love to sing in every Indian language. It will be like an ode to my fans from every corner of the country.
I don't take my work ever for granted. I still work very hard on every song and try to outdo myself every time.
TV is the most powerful medium, which has taken me right into the homes of so many people.
The guy I played in 'The Xpose' is more like a spoiled brat who likes to have his way than a villain. No more negative roles after 'The Xpose' for me. I've enough problems dealing with the negative image I've been saddled with in some sections.
It is a tough job to portray a character and make it believable on screen.
