Music reality shows are a good thing, especially for those seeking a career in music.

There's no meaning to life without music. Everybody has their own connect with music.

I don't follow anything blindly. I have to know the entire thing, if I have to get in to it. It might sound funny to you, but it's like using English language. I use an English word only when I know its meaning and understand its connotation. You won't hear me say, 'What's up, dude' or anything like that just for the heck of it.

My inspiration comes from the common man and nature.

Music is the biggest tool of revolution - the best way to reach out to the youth and involve them. If you can't contribute to the world with your art, I don't see the meaning of life.

I have created a new genre. It is a soulful creation that comes straight from my heart.

I don't listen to Bollywood music much. But yes, I listen to Indian music quite often, and other non- film music.

Nepal is a beautiful country with a lot of holy places. I also like the country because it's close to the Himalayas. According to Hindu mythology, that's the abode of Lord Shiva.

We want our music to reach everybody, so we're using the Internet. Every kid today is online, and we want to make sure our songs reach every one of them.

My birthday is a day when all I want is to bask in the love of my family and rarely accept offers for concerts and shows if they are to be held on this day.

Music is not a work for me - it's a form of meditation, and you don't need to work hard for it.

I am an untrained musician and a common man's singer.

A right balance between music and lyrics is important. Music complements lyrics.

For us Indians, I don't think English can ever exude that magic of emotions which our mother tongue can.

The worst affected from corruption is the common man.

I love listening to songs that are from the heart and that touch the heart. So, love is the preferred theme for most of the songs that I sing.

It's a whole new world out here. The online world is like a blackboard on which, when you write, the whole world can see - and I'm thrilled about this development. I want to make full use of it.

My music is not just about entertainment. It is about enlightenment also.

I play the harmonium. I had learned to use the guitar for a bit before becoming a part of the music industry, but unfortunately didn't pursue it fully. I would love to learn to play the piano because it holds a unique connect for me in terms of rhythm.

A man with a silver spoon may get his share of supporters, but he can never be an inspiration for somebody! Patience and hard work are the key to every man's success.

Don't take things too seriously, and just chill.

Money and good life had never been my goal.

I don't add any deliberate nuances to the way I sing. I've seen so much and been all over the world, but I'm glued to my roots, and that comes across.

Music is everywhere and in everything! I draw my inspiration from the day to day activities of my life!

I am not a methodical singer. I don't follow any process or rules; what I follow is just my heart - whatever I experience, I just write and then compose it.
