'Devotional Indian singing is very satisfying especially when you involve the audience as that gives them a wonderful feeling to be part of the concert'
How I came to this music:
My roots are in the folk music of Gujerat and Indian classical music. During my school days, one of my older brothers was a very good singer and a very keen lover of Indian classical music. As a result, I picked up my hobby through him. At the school I performed in various concerts. When I was in India I used to listen to many folk musicians in our province which is well-known for folk music.
I spent my good years in central Africa - 24 years in Zambia. I met many artists there and picked up the tricks of the trade. I finally arrived in Leicester in 1977. There was no limit then because the opportunities were great. England is such an attractive place. Artists from the subcontinent used to visit and they are still visiting England. I met many of them through my musical interests, not least through my role as a promoter of Indian classical music. Together with some of our friends, we formed Shruti Arts and started promoting Indian classical music.
