Some names need no introduction and Daler Mehndi is certainly one of them. He is someone who has given chartbusters, groovy tracks, and at the same time devotional songs. He has been in the industry for decades and has been known for creating clean music from the beginning to the end. And while chatting with ETimes exclusively, he shared his recipe for the same.
Here are the excerpts from the conversation:
What is music for Daler Mehndi?“Music for Daler Mehndi is life, a blessing, a daily reminder of how much there is to be grateful for.”
What it takes to create clean and hit music?“Immense love, awareness, a heart soaked in gratitude, a mind centered in the creator, and self-confidence.”
You have been singing groovy numbers and spiritual renditions too? What inspires you to dive into diverse genres?“It’s magic with notes. When you are aligned with the joy of musical notes, beats and words then the genre doesn’t matter. You just need to know what you are doing. Magic follows when you honor your flow truthfully.”
What's the secret behind your young voice?“No alcohol, no tobacco, no curse words, dollops of blessings, and immense gratitude.”
Why do you think the generation went on to add profanity and vulgarity to music?“There are both, there are ones that are doing a great body of work sans profanity and vulgarity. To each his own! Maybe that’s what works for them! But honestly, there are youngsters doing really interesting intelligent music. I choose to see that!”
