"My performance begins with Vande Mataram and moves on to Bollywood and House music with a soul. Traditionally, Japanese DJs play a heavy, loud and fast music that is very different from what I play. When I had first visited Japan on invitation four years ago for an event, I had been to the most popular clubs and realised that their music was very different from mine. Nevertheless, I stuck to my guns and realised that they love my sound and the Indian tribal funky house music that I played for them. I went on to do three more events on demand. I believe in soul music and the audience becomes one with me!."
