I’ve never been into formal riyaaz. I’ve never really trained in music. I have a good ear and I’ve inherited that from my mom. I spend close to one hour recording every day and I keep singing during that time. That’s riyaaz for me. I’ve learnt music by listening to various kinds of music, including qawwalis, old film songs and more. I fortunately have an understand of sur and that has helped me all the way.” [7]Business Standard

- After releasing two songs, in an interview, he revealed that he never wanted to pursue singing as a career. He said,
I always knew I wanted to be a businessman because I had all the qualities that are required for it. Music is my heart. It’s always been a part of me and hence I never thought that I’d grow up to be a musician. I always knew my business would be my source of bread and butter, while music would be my passion and companion for life. I never imagined myself having a band or performing at shows and charging a fee for it.” [8]The Print

- In an interview, on being asked how he manages to balance his business with his music and take time out to follow his hobby, he replied,
I believe my business has enabled me to value my music more. I feel whenever you have something in excess, you don’t value it as much. For instance, my business keeps me so occupied that I crave to hit the studio and record something. This has enabled better time management and I make sure I spend some musical hours every day.” [9]The Print

- He does not believe in learning singing from a music teacher as it restricts the creativity and authenticity of the person. According to him, his greatest guru is the audience. In an interview, he said,
I believe that when you train only under one guru, you gradually start sounding like them or you pick up their style. I didn’t want to limit myself in that sense. However, I have an inclination towards light classical music and I would like to train in that under many learned musicians. I also feel the audience is your best guru. If they like your work, that means you’re on the right track. And if they don’t, it teaches or inspires you to work harder.” [10]Business Standard
