Interview - Times of India

Every performance is a mirror.

In a recent conversation with the Times of India I shared some thoughts on what it means to live and work as a musician. 

We spoke about the way tradition and innovation weave together, and why listening — truly listening — matters as much as singing or playing an instrument.

I’ve always believed that music isn’t only confined to formal training or a raga in an evening’s performance. It’s also shaped by the stories we’ve heard, the musicians we’ve heard, and the silences we’ve learned to respect.

The interview gave me a chance to step back and reflect on questions I often carry with me:

* How does an artist stay rooted without becoming rigid? 

* What do we owe to our audience beyond performance? 

* How do we balance discipline with wonder? 

I don’t claim to have all the answers, but I know that these questions — and the conversations they spark — keep my own practice alive.
