Quotes

“I’m a Canadian born Indian person—both my parents are from India, and I grew up speaking Indian Punjabi around the house watching Bollywood movies, you know, being around the food, being around the people, being around the religious parts of it, being around everything that has to do with this culture.”

“Hip-Hop was one of my first loves in terms of music and everything.”

“I always wanted to be a rapper, I always wanted to put my vocals on a track, but for the longest time, I didn’t know how I wanted to sound.”

“I feel like I’ve gotten more comfortable as a rapper, too, because I know how to play the instrument that is my voice now.”

“It always felt like, for South Asian artists, [you] had to choose if you wanted to be here or there. The South Asian artists who have broken into the mainstream American market have found success and had to get rid of the cultural influence in their music. Maybe [it was] because the American market wasn’t ready for it.”

“What I’m hoping for “Jalebi Baby” specifically, now that we’ve shown that American audiences are ready for Indian influences a little bit more, I’m hoping other South Asian artists just take that and run with it.”

“For me, personally, my sights have always been on the mainstream American market, whether that’s Hip-Hop, whether that’s Pop, and at the same time, if I wanna go to Bollywood, I could do a record there, too. I want to exist in both worlds in a big way.”
