I I was tied up in this. I was I. was. >> nice. This style of question is nice. I don't know, man. I like my voice a. lot. One more time. You were singing full fields, man. Did. you want to sing something specifically? >> Forget them. Do you want to sing?

[Music]. Bro, hi. >> How's it going, man? >> How are you? >> Good, good. Thanks for having me here. It's an awesome office you have. >> Thank you very much. Thank you very. much. In fact, you have to watch the. studio as well.

>> Yeah. Yeah. >> I think in uh there are almost three to. four special things that are happening. today for me. This is the first time I'm. uh carrying on the conversation in. English majorly. That's the first time. Thank you for that. >> And this is the very first time I'm. having audience in my uh show first. time. >> Yeah. >> And the other thing is jamming. >> Never done it before. >> Awesome. >> Uh after 100th episode, this is another. special episode that I'm actually. planning is what I was thinking. >> Super man. >> Thank you for accepting and uh all the. very best and it's it's only for you. >> Thank you man. I appreciate that.

>> Okay. I always had this question. What. do singers do to maintain their voice? Because I see you traveling a lot. Yesterday night also you were in the. flight. >> uh with all those different temperatures. and all. How do you maintain your voice. because of this weather conditions and. all? >> Just pray to God, you know. No, I think. the main thing is for me um when I'm not. traveling, I make sure I'm practicing. every day. >> So, I practice for about like I come I. came I come from a discipline of. karnatic music. >> So, I've been training since I was like. three. So, the thing that I make sure I. do is for at least hour to hour and a.

half daily. When I'm not traveling, when. I'm at home, I practice and I try to. maintain like a pretty strict just. schedule to my day. So I'm up at like. 6:00, go to sleep early, do all the. healthy things so that when I'm. traveling and I'm moving and I don't. have as much control over my routine, then I that's okay. Since the other days. I've taken care of myself properly, then. I can allow myself a little bit of. >> wiggle room. >> So how frequently do you practice? >> Daily. I practice. So in the morning, so. my kind of routine goes I I wake up. early, I go box. I've been boxing for.

like the last 2 and a half years. I do. that. I come back, I practice for like. 45 minutes, then go about my day. in the. afternoon another 2 hours. >> And then that's generally the the. schedule for you. >> Got it. >> Yeah. >> And uh there's another special thing in. this episode where I'm going to leave. the uh conversation to the audience. also. >> Oh, awesome. We're going to ask some. questions. >> Maybe the ratio will be 15 20% from my. side and 80% will be from their side. >> Awesome. We can't wait. >> This is the first time again. >> Before giving it to them, I have another. question. >> and after so many long years, it's been. 10 years that that you're in the. industry. >> 13 years.

>> 13 years. >> Yeah. >> And Telum, you have been singing since. long. >> Yeah. Why is that you're not. understanding or able to talk in talk in. Telugu so far? Uh so I've actually. thought about this a lot. Two things. One my brain is not really wired to like. pick up the meaning of language very. quickly. So I grew up in the US and. there in school you're compulsory. You. have to uh take one extra language. It's. either French or Spanish. I did Spanish. cuz it's the closest to English. Through. the whole I had studied it for 2 years.

and at no point could I properly speak. it. barely understood it. >> Spanish. >> Yeah. But even though I was in class. every single day and learning and all. that. So my brain is wired to like pick. up on melody, pick up on like colors, uh. more more abstract things when it comes. to like specific literal. having to get my brain organized in a. way where it like retains this kind of. information. It's not good at all. And I. think it's just my brain's always like. running like this. So that's what it. kind of came down to. And I I um and.

another thing I like from the beginning. of of my career to now uh when I first. started even in Tummer songs which is my. mother tongue but definitely Telugu. there was a slightly like anglicized. accent in it when I first started having. grown up in the US. So again my first. kind of thought and and and uh my first. uh main priority there was to fix that. to get that to refine that. Um and. that's been a process all this time. So. it really just came down to looking at. my career and my life life very.

practically and see okay I could. >> take 3 hours 2 hours in the day to. properly learn how to speak this. language but then what would I not be. able to do what would be sacrificed in. that process so that's kind of what it. came down to but maybe like now I'm 35. my career is pretty well set. >> it's too hard right now. >> no maybe I could I'm saying now I'm a. little bit more comfortable I have a. little bit more time than I did learn so. maybe I could start learning the best. yeah so next time we do an interview. I. I'll try to speak at least a few. sentences. >> Absolutely. You're on record.

>> Yeah, I know it's there. >> So, apart from these regular questions, the the one segment I'm excited about. was about your singing, right? >> Yeah. >> So, one of my favorite songs is uh Okay. Okay. Lok No. Yes. >> So, if you can sing that song and then. we'll leave it to the audience. >> Super. One second. >> Yeah. Fore!

Foreign! Foreign! foreign. speech. Okay.

amazing one. [Applause]. Now I'm getting that vibe. It's an amazing one. >> Thank you, brother. >> So, right now, let uh can we leave it to. the audience for a couple of questions. and then the songs? Yeah, sure. So guys, thank you very much for your love and. support. Experiment. Please do support. Don't forget to subscribe. >> Hi sir. So uh first things first, we're. all like really huge fans. So it feels. so real to like like see you right here. in front of us. So I just had one.

question. So uh like we're all college. friends. So we're around the same age. So we can see that in our generation. there's no really such thing as true. love anymore. So like what is like your take on that? What do you say? >> What's my take on there being no true. love anymore? >> I mean at least from our generation's. perspective. >> Yeah, sure. Um I think there will always. be true love. I think like probably when. I was in college I might have felt the.

same way uh because everything felt. fleeting and they never felt like there. was like a a sense of something. permanent. And I think for true for love. to be true it has to be permanent. There. has to be something that feels very deep. about it. Um. I would say maybe wait a few more years. and you'll find it. I think I mean. finding love is a very interesting. process because you have to find the. right person. There has to be a. resonance not only attraction but so. many other factors. Um I'll speak for.

myself. I'm still single and still. looking for the right person, you know. So I think like it's a not a lifelong. process. Hopefully not. Um, but I have friends who have fallen in. love and had families and such, and I. think for them it's like when the time. is right, the time is right. Uh, and I. think love is timeless. I don't think. it'll ever go out of fashion. I don't. think it'll ever not be uh. it'll never not be true. It's there. everywhere. Whether it's romantic,

whether it's with family, you know, like. we feel it in some way every day. So, it's just about the timing being right. So, and I don't know if it's a gener. generational thing that we don't believe. in it cuz like I said for myself, I'm. still looking. So, I think like for the. PE for everyone, there's a right time, right time, right space, right person. So, uh yeah, that's that's my answer for. that. >> So, since we're on the topic of true. love and all, uh what song comes to your. mind when we talk about true love? Hm. I.

think when I think of True Love from my. collection, um, >> I feel like is the one that feels like. >> the most controversial song. >> Yeah, exactly. >> But but beyond the controversy, the. actual meaning of it. Um, and the. emotion of that song feels like. obviously a song about like there's a. pain in it, but I think a lot of love is. also about pain and compromise and all. So that's probably the one that that I. believe holds the meaning.

>> So do you want him to sing? >> Yeah. >> Before you sing, I have the question. about song. Okay. So I have two. references. I've seen two videos of two. different people. Okay. One video was. about uh Gangada where he was mentioning. about your. >> majorly about the song. Yeah. uh. he was mentioning and uh of course I. thought it is it is a logical question. where director or someone should be. there and make you understand that is. not the way you sing and all that. >> Sure. >> For some reason it did not happen. Okay. >> I never heard that in that way. Once I.

watched that video only then I. understood this is not. >> yeah yeah someone yeah sure. >> was that I watched another video of. Anamaru where he was he was answering to. this question the controversy where he. was the one uh who who wrote in Kim. Kawali song I guess. Yes. So he mentions. that. they take a support. I mean the singers. take support of Hachulu or Halu is what. he told. I'm subject to correction. >> but even that was logical again because. I'm not a singer because I understand I.

I just draw lines with those. conversations. But what is your view on. that? I mean what happened there? Do you. agree that there was a mistake or do you. think there is something else to be. understood? >> I think that so that's my second ever. Telugu song ever sunk. I was like. >> that was dubbed right? >> Yeah. So the the original was in where. the first version I recorded was. uh we dubbed the song the night before. its release. >> So it was like fast but was it so. >> but it wasn't because of any of that. I. think it having been my second Telugu.

song ever. And again I grew up singing. lots of carnatic music. >> Many many uh Tagaraja compositions are. in Telugu but a different kind of Telugu. not as colloquial. Um, but with it being. my second one, I think there was yet to. be that, you know, I spoke about it. before, but there was not yet that. refine in my my pronunciation. There was. still a lot for me to, you know, figure. out, to learn, and for it to become. second nature. That's one. to I think. what um Antagaru mentioned is pretty.

true that when you sing in a higher. pitch the. you figure out ways to be able to throw. in that pitch and still pronounce the. song or pronounce the words and still. finish it. >> But beyond any of that I think it's just. a process of growth cuz like now I can. sing it like fine, you know what I mean? So I think it was just a. >> a case of it being very early on in my. career, >> right? And I've never really found like. I don't have a problem rather I don't.

people are going to say what they're. going to say regardless. The song is a. major hit. >> Absolutely. >> When I sing it live there's no one in. the crowd saying bro you pronounced it. wrong that day. Honestly no one cares. Um they care about not not in the. moment. And this is not me even being. disrespectful towards the language cuz I. think it's really important that um that. one values the language, takes the time. to get it right. Uh but then also. another thing I realized pretty early on. in my career is that my responsibility. is to the people who uh want to listen.

to my music. A lot of the people who. critique from a space of um not being. constructive, >> right, >> they're probably not going to listen to. my songs anyways. They're just finding a. reason to go online and have something. to say. And another thing, if I wasn't. popular, if I hadn't had this very deep. impact on the industry, no one's going. to care. So, it's like all uh. >> it's all a part of the game. >> and I take it with grace because I know. that they're probably coming at it from.

a point of like this is very important. to us. This is our language which is a. point of deep deep deep pride. >> Um. >> and so I don't fault fault anyone for. for saying what they say. I also don't. take it to heart. I don't beat myself up. over it. I know that like my only goal. daily is to get better in all aspects of. what I do. Whether that be the music, whether that be the pronunciation, or. just being a human being. Uh, and I'm. pretty comfortable with how I've I've. grown over the years. Um, so yeah, all. the best. Thank you. >> So, let's go with the song.

>> Yeah. [Applause]. [Applause]. God.

[Applause]. for. [Applause]. unto.

for. [Applause].

another thing that I would say is like I. encourage anyone who critiques anyone, not just me, to go to their live show. and experience at one time because I. think we live in this uh. in this digital age. >> where everyone watches or listens to. something on their phone and then. immediately jumps to have an opinion on. it, good or bad, >> right? >> I would say this even if you're like. praising someone to the moon, go watch. their live show to make sure that they. can live up to it because some people. can't and some people really can. So I I.

think my biggest I guess critique of the. ter times that we live in right now is. that um two things. One that people on. the internet take stuff off the internet. and based their whole lives off of that. which is dumb. >> And then two uh the anonymity of the. internet is also a big problem where. anyone can say whatever. So the only I. guess like uh request I'd have of of of. people especially people who have who go.

on platforms and have these opinions go. experience the thing in real life. >> and see how you actually feel about it. if you still feel as upset or happy or. whatever because what is life if we're. not going and actually doing these. things you can't just live on your phone. you know and I'm sure that uh. >> the few individuals I've seen who have. had a lot to say about me I've never. seen them at a show. So I would say come. come we love you we embrace you and we. want you to be a part of the family.

because I have this tagline it's called. all love no hate. >> right. >> right and that I believe in that. completely that the first thing that we. should lean on is love. >> and then after that if you give it a. chance and the person is still being. disrespectful for example listen to how. I sung it just now is there anything. wrong with the pronunciation anything at. all. >> so that's the point give some give. people room to grow give them some grace. and then go ahead on the platform and. say anything and everything you want. Um, but yeah, we can keep moving. >> No, I love the way you explained.

[Applause]. >> and uh now that we're discussing about. the concert or something like that. Sure. I have the dates of your concerts. Okay. >> One uh concert is in Bangalore. The. first one if I'm not wrong after this. >> Yes. >> Around 22nd November. >> 22nd November is. >> 29th November is in Chennai. >> Yes. >> Next one is interesting. 13th December. in Hyderabad. >> Yes. >> Mumbai 31st Jan. >> Yes. >> Now I'm talking about 13th December. Yes, there are around 40 members here. >> Yeah. >> Are we allowed there or not? >> Ah, right. >> Yeah. Yeah, we'll figure it out. No,

he's not going out without giving us a. pass. >> So, we never put a. number. >> So, but definitely I would love to come. Last time in the February, I guess I. could not. >> Yeah. Valentine, you were tied up for. Valentine's Day. >> Yeah. Yeah. Sorry. I I was tied up in sense. I was I. was busy. I mean, >> I'm just messing with you. No, I I've. I've seen that interview with Sumagar. Yes. >> So, I thought I I'll definitely join but. I could not. >> No problem. Just December 13th you I. I'll see you there. >> I'll definitely I'll definitely come.

>> So, uh we we'll leave the next I mean. we'll take the next question. >> Yeah. >> Anyone this side that side? >> So, hello sir. It's very nice seeing you. in person. So, while we're on the topic. of concerts. So, I'd like to ask you. something. Generally when we see in. concerts that uh public and audience can. be a little rude uh to the singers and. they throw stuff and it's not a good. pleasant experience. Yeah. So have you. ever experienced that or what's your. opinion on that? >> Sure. I mean my opinion that's really. bad. >> and that shouldn't happen. Um, and you.

know, sometimes it's not even because. the audience cuz most of the audience. are fans of the artist, so they're not. doing it like out of a from a space of. hatred or anything, but they get excited. and then something flies onto. So, I mean, but I or they think sometimes. they'll like throw their phone or a. shirt or something in hopes that the the. artist will sign it. I think that it. shouldn't happen. Not because like it's. a nothing against audience getting. excited. We want that actually. We love. when the energy is is um is raised to.

that level. But uh when we're on stage. singing or when an artist is on stage. singing or performing, it takes a lot of. focus. It takes a lot of uh you know. being fully there in that moment. The. minute something like that happens, it. takes you out completely. It's never. really happened to me. Um it happened. once in actually the first show that. I've ever done in like my first. professional show that I did in India. was a college show in Chennai at a.

college called Madras Christian College. and this was after. um uh Pomake came out. So like and that. song was the thing that really kind of. like catapulted my career. So was the. first song after that came out. Um, so. the audience was crazy and uh, college. show means like similar to this, boys on. one side, girls on one side. So, um, I'm just kidding. But what what happened? The girl side is.

normally really chill, very well. behaved. I mean, loud, but on the boy. side, they're like throwing guys up in. the air and all this stuff. No offense, I love everybody. But um but I was. singing uh. it was. in Telugu and really like. intimate like heartfelt quiet song and. still the boys are throwing guys up in. there on this side and someone's shoe. flew out. I got.

>> furious because again for me music is. like a very spiritual pursuit. It's. something that I have a deep deep deep. respect for and I saw it happening so I. knew that no one like did this but so I. knew what the action was but still it. really kind of took me out. I almost. cancelled the rest of the set cuz and. again this was the first time I was. performing my whole show in front of. this many people. Um but then you. compose yourself and then the next two. songs I just performed only to the girl. side. I didn't even go to the. >> That's a punishment for them.

>> Yeah, exactly. And then they were well. behaved for the rest of the show. So I. love it. Um but yeah, I think um. you can only control these things to a. certain degree, especially if there's. like thousands and thousands of people. You can't it's really hard to pinpoint. where it happened and such, but I think. uh and then another thing uh this is. going to make me sound like I really. dislike uh smartphones and social media, which I don't. I understand how. important they are. But I think a lot of. times people now also do stuff to kind.

of get that social media moment where. they can also go viral as the person who. did this thing, right? And that is. really not cool to me at all. If you go. to a show, you should go to experience. it. I am happy to say since that very. first experience, that's never happened. in any of my shows. And I think what. we've done quite well both in terms of. myself, my band, my team, and the people. that we work with to put these shows. together is uh there's a spirit of like. warmth and love and um understanding and.

acceptance that is very very present in. all the shows that we do. So no one ever. kind of gets a little too crazy. Um but. no matter who's performing, no matter. what the show is, I don't think it. should happen. And I think I feel like. it's happening a little bit less now. I. feel like last year, 2 years, we were. seeing a lot of instances of that. happening globally. >> Um, but I see it happening a little bit. less now, which is good. >> Right. >> Yeah. >> And I think she has a request of a song. >> Oh, yeah. Which which song do you want. to hear? >> The Lai Lai thing which you mentioned. right now. >> Is that okay? Cool.

>> So, I'll sing Laai Lai. >> Yeah, please. [Music]. Fore! Foreign! Foreign!

has a question for you. Question or. song? Song. >> So, we would like to give a shiam. I have another request here. >> Yeah. I have two friends of mine from. Caprica and Nitish. So one is on guitar. and one is on kahun. >> Please join. [Applause]. I have another request. >> We'll also join you. >> Yeah. Yeah.

So, the one he he sang in Tamil was. amazing. So, I wanted to ask you that. >> Sure. I guess that I'll just sing a. capella just voice only. That's okay. >> Yeah, only voice. Yeah. >> Cool. One second. I'll just get the.

lyrics for that as well. But you guys all sound really good. >> Very nice. >> Yeah, especially that you were singing. full fields. [Applause]. mutil.

Mill. [Music]. can for.

[Music]. a. Fore! Foreign! Foreign!

[Music]. Foreign. speech. Foreign speech. Foreign speech.

Dill. dill. [Music]. dill dill.

[Music]. Thank you. >> Oh my god, I forgot the next song. >> Maybe we we'll take it from there. >> Hello sir, could you please sing Mudali. for us? >> Oh, sure. Yes. Okay. One second.

What? What about that song do you like? >> I like everything about that song. It's. on loop for like years. >> Oh, >> super. That's one of my favorites as. well. One second. foreign.

[Music].

Oo. [Applause]. Thank you. >> Also one more song. >> So it's a recent one. So I want to ask.

you to sing n singan. >> full t songs. Okay. [Music]. The poor. Sing.

[Music]. [Music].

You know what's really cool about that. song? Uh song is in Tummer and when it. first released it was primarily a Tummer. fan base for that song. Then uh because. of CSK that song became like the anthem. for MS Dhoni. >> Right. Right. Right. And then recently. in the last like month or maybe two. months uh Virat had an interview where. he said this is his favorite song. So. we've seen over the last like I think. the song must have released now two two.

and a half years ago but it started with. just one fan base of one language and. then has grown outward. So I think it's. also testament to the fact that music uh. language and lyric is really important. but it extends beyond just language. It. can transcend anyways. Exactly. >> Yeah. >> A couple of questions from there. >> Sure. >> Harish. >> Hi sir. >> Hi. A couple of questions and uh and two. follow-up questions from uh that young. lady over there. She asked you about the. the you know manage thing,

>> right? So what's tougher, you know, singing in perfect pitch or answering. people when why you're not married yet? >> I think singing in perfect pitch now is. quite easy for me. So yeah, answering. why I'm not, you know, I don't really. mind the question. Everyone always asks. I think it seems like people when they. ask me that question they ask from a. place of like uh one genuine curiosity. and like uh happiness. So I never mind. the question. My answer is always the. same. The time will come when the time. comes. So we will see.

>> Yeah. One more followup question for. your pronunciation thing. >> Yes. >> You know what hurts more? You know a. sore throat or a or a or or a critique? >> Nice. This stylo question is nice. >> What hurts more? You understand? What. hurt? The critique doesn't really hurt. >> The critique of what the sore throat. hurts way more. I I don't get hurt by. critiques any longer because what I've. really understood is you can tell by the. way that someone is critiquing you. whether they mean it constructively. If. they're coming from a place of love and. they really want you to improve versus.

whether they're doing it maliciously. So, and I' I've learned how to discern. these things. If they're coming from a. place of love, then I take it and I try. to improve. If they're saying it. maliciously, I just set it to the side. and let them keep going on their way. I'll keep going on mine. A sore throat. is the worst because I can't go a day. without singing. It's hard for me. Even. like when I'm going through everyday. life, like most of the time I'm humming. something or the other. So if you have a. sore throat, then you can't do that. And. that hurts more than most other things. So definitely that. That's where it.

doesn't happen. >> And and who is the music director you're. scared to sing for? >> I'm yet to sing for. >> scared to sing. >> Scared to sing for. Uh I don't think. scared is the word but with both AR sir. and Rajasir for different reasons I go. in quite nervous because these are two. heroes of mine and I've been a sir has. been my hero since I was like four or 5. years old. I've worshiped him. So. anytime I'm in the same space as him, I'm a bit nervous and I just I want to.

make sure I do justice to the. opportunity and just to being in his. presence. With Rajaser, I became a fan. of his a little bit later on in life. Um. cuz I'm a '90s kid. So I got into his. music probably when I was like in 12th. or like college. And um again with him. it's not a fear necessarily but um there. is this feeling that I have to again do. justice to the fact that I'm in the. presence of a legend and he has a very. like he needs every note to be sung. specifically as he composed it. So there.

too there's this uh responsibility to. have like great attention to detail. Um. but anytime it's anything to do with. music I don't feel this sense of fear. I. think every time it's like I feel just. like this immense blessing that I get to. do what I do. So it's never scared but. sometimes the nerves are there for sure. >> Yeah. Last one. What's the name of the. person who calls you at 2 a.m. and asked. as to sing a romantic song? >> That is for me to know and for no one. else to ever know that the name will not. be will not be told. And if you had a.

chance to swap. >> asking many questions, >> if you had a chance to swap your voice. with one singer and any voice, >> who would that be and why? >> If I had a chance to swap my voice with. another singer, >> not not necessarily singer, anybody? >> I some I don't know, man. I like my. voice a lot. >> But I think uh I'm a great fan of Nas. Fatigan's singing. like the pitch and. the command he had over singing and that.

kind of surrender to the music he had. I. think I would love to uh be able to. vocalize as him maybe one like if I had. that chance for a day I think I'd take. it but I will again say I'm very. satisfied and happy with the voice that. God has given me. So. >> could you please sing uh Nilia for me? >> Sure. >> Yes. And uh uh hold on I I'll try to you. know record on the phone as well. >> Was that I have a couple of questions. I'll go with that and then we'll we'll. end it with last one song.

>> Super. I think you also had one question. right? Did you have a question? >> She was waiting for. >> Yeah, she was. Well, I'll finish this. that question and then we can finish. I'll sing Ney first. I think he made up. for all the boys all the guys he. >> Okay. Ready? >> Oh, super selfie. Okay. I'll be looking. at my phone though. Okay. I won't be. able to look there. >> I can shoot it. >> Go for it.

foreign. [Music]. [Music].

Woo! [Applause]. Yeah. >> Yeah. Hi. >> Hi. How are you? >> Yeah. Actually, I would like to like I. would like to listen one devotional song. from yours because we are I heard every. like song from like. >> I'll sing um let me think. >> only.

9 minutes long. Yeah, I heard I heard. your version. >> Uh, thank you brother. Uh, what if I is. it okay if I sing on slokum? >> Yeah, please. >> Like on Ganesha, >> please. >> So this bakrat mahakaya I sing uh so in. karnatic music you can improvise a lot, right? So every concert I'll sing it in. a different scale a different raa. So. I'll see what I'll just get myself the. pitch real quick. forever.

[Music]. [Music]. Ever.

[Music]. serv? [Music]. Oh. [Applause].

yeah. >> So when uh see um I I have a reference. before asking this question. Nagu Chakri. uh the music Indian music I mean Telu. music composer and singer. I loved him. I used to love him a lot. Unfortunately. we don't have him anymore. And when I. used to watch a few interviews about him. about him not not of him. >> whenever uh some certain singer speaks. about him and about his USB or. speciality they say that music. the way the start is very high pitch.

like. that is his if I ask you that question. like what is sits special for what do. you think what do you believe. >> it's hard to speak about oneself in that. way. >> I But still I wanted to listen that from. you. >> I think well I think if you talk about. it technically um one thing that is. there is I think my higher range is. something that is definitely like a. hallmark to most of my songs where if it. doesn't start that way at some point.

there will be a takeoff point. >> where the song will go into the higher. range. So which allow because I have a. >> in like they call it a high tenor. So. that's the range of my voice. So it. really resonates in the higher range. So. I think that's one. I think two. something I've seen a lot about is like. there's like a whole YouTube. >> thing of collection of songs saying sits. arm heartbreak songs. So I think like. that's one there like I I'm I'm known to. sing songs about the pain that comes. with love one's heart being broken.

There's that. If you ask me um I think. my USP is just being extremely honest. when I sing. You know, I think there's. like what I really pride myself in is. like there will never be a dishonest. note when I sing. Everything I mean. completely comes from like the very core. of my spirit and that's how I just try. to lead my life generally. It's like. live pretty simply. Um have good. conversations with good people and when. I sing it has like my mom's my guru. She. started teaching me when I was three and.

the way she taught me the way my family. brought me up and and I grew up with. music everywhere. So it was always like. an anchor point for me is always mean. everything you say make sure that it is. coming from a place of uh kindness. goodness warmth and love and yeah it's. like any chance I I get the opportunity. to sing doesn't matter if it's in front. of 40 people or like 40,000 people or. anything in between. >> Uh it's a a gift from God that I get to. do this. Uh so I think that's what it.

is. That is what in my opinion my USP is. is just honesty. Um so yeah. >> and maybe uh we'll end this session with. last two songs one song is from my side. one one song is from their side. >> okay. >> uh. kind of shock I thought slow songs. heartbreaking songs is what your 40 is. what I I used to think. >> but I when I heard this. was amazing if you can sing that. >> okay one second 1 2 3 foreign.

Thank you. >> I promise I'll work on it before the. show. It'll be good. >> Yeah. You had some song with.

You. said this is after 100 episodes, right? >> After 100 episodes, this is. >> super man. Well, thank you for having. me. Thank you guys for being here. It's. been super. small question. I just wanted to I'm not. sure if I'm supposed to ask this or not, but you want to be remembered in happy. moments of someone's life or sad moments. of someone's life.

>> Um. I think. that's a good question. All the moments. man I think um I've like so many songs. I've sung it's like a range like you. take this one it's obviously so sad. right and but then you take it's like a. really joyful one. Uh, but no, I'll say. this. I want to be the music. I want my. voice to help people through the hard. times. >> So maybe not remembered for the sad. times, but someone that like I want my. music to be something that when someone.

is feeling pain, when someone has just. gotten their heart broken, I want them. to know that they can rely on my music. to help them through that. >> So, >> thank you, bro. Thank you very much. >> Did you want to sing something. specifically for me? >> No, they want me to sing actually. Do. you? No, no, never. Forget them. Do you. want to sing? >> Yes. >> Sing. >> I don't know how's my voice right now, but. >> sing. You sounded great. I heard you. >> Yeah, that one song I I don't have shy. singing.
