Arjun Kanungo from LA LA LA land
What is the one thing you like about performing live?
The energy! It’s the amazing connection that you make with the crowd for that hour or two.
If not for music, what would you be doing?
I have no idea, actually. Maybe I would have been an architect or a tech entrepreneur.
Name a few people who have influenced your music?
My mom because she exposed me to good music like Indian classical since I was young, AR Rahman, Mozart, newer artists like Major Lazer, Michael Jackson, jazz artists like Miles Davis and singers like Bruce Dickenson from Iron Maiden.
Have you ever been on a blind date? If not, which celeb would you go on one with?
Haha yes, I have. Only once. It didn’t turn out well. It’s difficult to pick a celebrity to go on a blind date with knowing so much about them through their work.
What is the last played song on your playlist?
Teenage Dirtbag by Wheetus.
If you could bring a musical sensation back to life who would it be?
Michael Jackson.

Butterscotch icecream.
Mumbai or Bengaluru?
Mumbai because it’s home.

Maldives.
