I am not sure if India is the right place to promote such music. I don't think there are still enough people who listen to English songs.

I've always tried to avoid electronic music in India because whatever songs I got in the genre I didn't really enjoy singing them - I didn't like the arrangements.

English and world music were something that I had immense love for, and to get together with a fellow Indian and bring this sound and vibe to the world feels great.

I'm still heard on 1,500 radio stations across North America every day, about 220 million people a day in 150 countries.

I am undoubtedly a 100 percent Bollywood product, but my heart truly lies in making music for the world and taking India global.

If you had a good radio - and everybody did in those days - you could find it.

'NewsRadio' was fantastic.

But in those days - in the mid-'50s, early '60s - there was less than 300 radio stations that were playing country music and a lot of that wasn't full time.

Radio in England is nonexistent. It's very bad English use of a media system, typically English use.

In my world view, clearly the Internet is a huge force multiplier for Indian media because it has not crept up on us like something invisible; we've seen it all play out in the West.
