It wouldn’t be wrong to say that they were my primary gurus. So, I have grown up listening to songs that often my grandmother wouldn’t have heard. They have exposed me to anything and everything from the 1930s to the 1970s. I was lucky to have parents who had incredible taste in music. How did you come across music as a career? You root back to Kashmir and now you predominantly work in Bollywood and Tamil industries. It gave me a lot of satisfaction to see the song do so well. It sounded really good, and I had a feeling that it would do well as it was different from my previous works. That’s when I saw my name in the credits. I got a notification that ‘The Humma Song’ is out, and I listened to it. I had received a call from Dharma Productions that they would like to try my voice for the song, so I went and recorded it. I didn’t know that the song is releasing in my voice. Did you expect the song to be such a huge hit? You rose to popularity with ‘The Humma Song’. In an interview with Surupasree Sarmmah, the singer spoke about her first independent original, her inspiration and more.
