Influences
Honestly speaking there are far too many to list, I guess everything I hear has an influence on me and I feel privilaged to have been in the company of some of the worlds top most musicians and human beings.
I thank the Almighty for putting me in such a position where it became a reality of being in the company of such people.
The words of my Guru Ji:
"There is something to learn from everyone, it is a matter of being receptive and then colouring what you have learnt in your own colours"
