As I grew older, I realised that I could be versatile. I decided to try out a variety of singing styles by becoming a playback singer.
When I came to Mumbai, I realised an individual should be versatile, and in playback singing you have different genres where you can explore yourself.
I wanted to try everything. I learnt a lot from playback singing. But at heart, I'm a pop rock singer; I'm a stage performer.
I had trained in Hindustani classical singing and my mother thought I could become a playback singer, but I always wanted to become an actor.
Until now, I've not done a project where the produce, rapper and singer has never worked together like this before, and I had a chance to try a variety of styles.
I'm a true singer who grew up singing in church, so I love singing my heart out.
I always enjoyed singing and working with the late Kishore Kumar. He was a legendary playback singer, an actor, and a producer/director.
There are two things that I hold close to my heart. One is that I got the opportunity to playback sing for actor Mr. Amitabh Bachchan and second was working with playback singer Lata Mangeshkar.
When I'm singing I try not be a singer with a capital S. I just try to get it out so I feel comfortable with it.
As a young singer, you have to get experience somehow, to try things out and grow as a singer. They way you do that is by going through the ranks and singing at companies like Opera Birmingham. It's a perfect place to foster a career.
I have a long way to go as far as my acting career is concerned. Lots of milestones are to be achieved and dreams to be fulfilled. I would someday want to do playback singing, too, as I am a very passionate singer.
When people ask me, 'Are you a singer?' I say, 'No, I'm not a 'singer' - but I love the craft of singing,' going in and finding out what that means or why the hell I'm singing in the first place. My thing is really the craft of it.
I never decided to start singing, to be a singer.
When I began my journey, my aim was to do indie music. While growing up, there was an abundance of it but by the time I decided to do it, there was nothing. So, I became a playback singer, which got me fans and taught me about the versatility of my voice.
I made quite a lot of money in commercials and I decided when I got out of school to take singing lessons so I could get into singing commercials, too.
I could describe my career in two words: who knew. I was on the path to becoming a professional baseball player, but I got injured in college. When I decided to move out to L.A. to try acting, nobody was betting on me, not even my family.
Like all soul singers, I grew up singing in church but sometimes I would leave early and sit in the car listening to gospel band, The Blind Boys of Alabama. Hearing their lead singer Clarence made me connect the idea of church and show business and see how I could make a career singing music that stirred the soul.
