1. One celebrity you’d like to take out on a date?
Taylor Swift — I have a lot of personal messages to give her.  

2. Your biggest pet peeve?
Dirty politics and people who fight in the name of religion.  

3. A guilty pleasure you succumb to?
I love sitting lazily on my bed and relishing gobi manchurian or pizza.

4. A super power you wish you had?
The power to go to the future and come back to the present so that I can see if whatever I’m working on now is working well in the future!

5. A song that you would never delete from your playlist?
My own composition Rain Dance because it’s based on a father-child relationship, and I can really connect to it.

6. Most bizarre pick up line used on you?
Some girls come up to me and ask me if I can teach them to play the guitar, and then they tell me they like me. One funny incident was when two sisters asked me out!

7. Favourite musician and why?
Hans Zimmer — no one can compose like him. He once said that you don’t need a big orchestra to do something, you can do it on your iPad if you really want to do it — this statement of his really influenced me.

8. Million bucks or true love?
True love, definitely! I can earn a million bucks on my own, but finding true love is hard.

9. Hardest thing about being a musician?
Hearing from people who think you’re useless and jobless. Also, being an independent artist, it’s hard to brand myself.

10. A trait about you that nobody knows?
I take opinions from everyone who is close to me, but at the end of the day, I do what I want!
