One of the good things about globalization is it has created a single international music community, and I feel very much part of it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
All over the world, the idea of creating an melange of international musics, it's a very healthy thing.
I've always been attracted to multicultural music. It's where the world is going.
I guess music is very global.
World music is about taking things from different places and bringing them together - which is great.
My idea to bridge the world together with music starting in Asia and going to the West is something that is new, untapped and leading to the future of bringing the worlds together.
I have observed, too, that the people of the many countries that I have visited are showing an ever increasing interest in the classical and traditional music of their own cultures.
I get interested in the various ways that music is being done in the culture, and some of it I like thoroughly enough to want to learn about it. The way I have been successful at doing that is to become part of it.
Music is one of the most powerful things the world has to offer. No matter what race or religion or nationality or sexual orientation or gender that you are, it has the power to unite us.
I am undoubtedly a 100 percent Bollywood product, but my heart truly lies in making music for the world and taking India global.
Music has always been transnational; people pick up whatever interests them, and certainly a lot of classical music has absorbed influences from all over the world.
