How did your musical journey begin?
In college I used to play Various instruments and then producers Gajwani Brothers who were my college mates noticed me and offered me a serial to compose which was a hit and then I teamed up with Vinay who used to stay near Benzer stores near my house to compose music for hit films like BEWAFFA SANAM in which the song Accha Sila Diya tune Mera pyaaar kaa was a super duper hit and film TUM BIN where all songs were hits and MUSKAAN and Dulaara.
Please continue.
Then I did musical albums and singles and devotional songs which were all hits.Recently my hit song with Raju Kalakaar DIL PAR CHALAI CHURIYAAN is a chartbuster.
Who are your favorite singers?I
I am comfortable with all singers but I gel well with Udit Narayan, Kumar Sanu and Alka Yagnik and Sonu Nigam. Today I am doing many songs with Sonus father Dr.Agam Kumar Nigam. I am more into devotional songs now. Sanjeeevani Bhelande is a good new talent.
What do you think of singing reality shows?
They are a good platform for new singers who want to showcase their talent.
Whats next on?
i have a project with Kapil Kaustubh Sharma and Raju Kalakaaar and a few singles and devotional albums.
On that musical note we bid the music man farewell.
