“I wanted to be a doctor originally; that was my realistic dream, because I knew how to get there. Being a pop star was my wild dream, a fantasy - there was no direct route.”

“When I realized that you can actually impact people's lives like that through music, thats an incredible thing.”

“I wanted to save people's lives. I wanted to do something good in this world.”

“There are a lot of people, like myself, who love R&B and will always love R&B.”

“Deep down inside, I'm a science geek.”

“I'm not going to lie, I am a bit of a party animal.”

“I never did music for awards. I did music because I love it and I do music because I love singing and I love entertaining.”

“A lot of my writing is done on the road so I can take the music on my iPod, work out a melody then record it into Cubase.”

“I'm a really hardworking person.”

“I don't want to just do any acting role that comes just for the sake of getting in a film.”

“I was studying to be a doctor like every good Indian boy, and doing music on the side as a hobby. Then I started to get a little serious and record companies started giving me offers!”

“I think the charity side of things for me is very important, because if you're not giving something back, there's an imbalance somewhere in your life.”

“I like to write songs that people can identify with and sing along to.”

“I started writing rhymes in fact when I was 11 or 12 years old. I was actually into hip hop before anything else.”

“I cannot live without my iPhone.”

“I am a pop and R&B singer. I'm not necessarily an Indian singer or musician. I sing in English, and the music I do blends hip hop, pop, R&B, and soul.”

“Bollywood is just amazing.”

“I'd say I am a nice cross of R&B and Pop.”

“I buy lots of my software over the net from the States.”
