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.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
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.
Bollywood music is definitely a big part of Indian music and can be a great way to introduce people to the sound. But I hope to continue to incorporate other types of Indian music into my work.
Living in the U.K., there is no way to know whether anyone in India likes my music, but I was surprised to see people singing along while I performed in Pune.
There are certainly talented instrumentalists coming from India. I see them performing all over the world.
I am undoubtedly a 100 percent Bollywood product, but my heart truly lies in making music for the world and taking India global.
I don't listen to Bollywood music much. But yes, I listen to Indian music quite often, and other non- film music.
Though music transcends language, culture and time, and though notes are the same, Indian music is unique because it is evolved, sophisticated and melodies are defined.
There are many singers who have got an exceptional talent, but spend their lives singing in local trains or hotels. Does the country even know who they are? Music in India is restricted only to Bollywood. Whoever manages to make a mark there is remembered. The ones who fail to reach and make it big there are forgotten.
People don't think music to be a reliable source of income or career, which I will agree, in a way, because Bollywood is a very risky place to be in.
Since music is a reflection of our mindset and our culture, it is bound to change with time. I am glad that India is such a receiving country and is always open to all kinds of music. Our composers, singers and writers are open to experimenting.
