”Artisttaan” in November 2k17

Tell us something about your recent song 'Munde saare kaim'?

I wrote “ Munde saare kaim” in 2k19 but my major focus back then was on singing.I wanted to do a rap song only when I was sure that I could deliver what’s needed from me to make the song sound good to the audience. 

The company “Anihac movies “ wanted to a song for the hip hop audience and that is how “ Munde saare kaim” came into play.

Who is your favourite artist and why?

A musician that I look up to is undoubted” Mickey Singh.”I have always been an admirer of his melodies, voice texture and his contribution to the urban Asian industry.

All I am seeking is exposure and appreciation from my fellow artists. My goal right now is to earn as many listeners as possible.
