Naturally, whenever I am doing music, that little psychedelic rock comes in naturally. I like that kind of music. Pink Floyd has become like a friend, closest friend. Basically, ‘Dark Side of the Moon’ has been my closest friend”.
He also said that as a musician, he loves certain artists in phases but Pink Floyd is his all-time favourite.
He said, “I've been in a BB King phase. I've been in an Ali Farka Toure phase. Ali Farka Toure is an Afro Blues guitar player. I had tripped on Ali Farka Toure in the Film Institute. So, there are different phases. Musicians have this thing of falling in love with artistes in phases. The Beatles were much earlier. In school. Queen was in college. ‘Night of the Opera’, I think I've bought 4-5 cassettes. I've heard it so many times”.
Meanwhile, the music of ‘Metro...In Dino’ is topping the charts with a wide range of tracks.
