Does Sonu Nigam Believe His Songs Transform Him?

Mumbai, July 20 (NationPress) Playback singer Sonu Nigam expressed that his songs frequently transport him to a profound psychological realm, enhancing his personal growth.

On Sunday, the artist took to his Instagram to post a video where he discussed one of his songs, which he intends to reintroduce on his upcoming birthday.

In the video, he stated, “Can we genuinely create a song? Songs are crafted. I’m unsure how they come to life. Ideas arise, opportunities present themselves. I composed a song in such a manner. What motivated me to create this piece? I first encountered Rohit (the creative mind behind the song) during ‘Indian Idol’. I was part of the judging panel alongside Anu Malik and Farah Khan. He is an incredible person, albeit a bit shy and nervous. However, he sings with the heart of a lion.”

Sonu acknowledged that although he performed the song, Rohit delivered an even more remarkable rendition. He noted that Rohit has been honing his classical singing skills since childhood, and his vocal prowess is exceptional.

He further elaborated, “I have gained invaluable insights from Rohit throughout this musical journey. I exerted considerable effort to match Rohit's level. Although I couldn’t quite reach that mark, it felt rewarding to get close. He has dedicated two years to perfecting this song. I recorded it once two years ago. Recently, when I revisited it, I believed I could improve my rendition. Perhaps my practice has enhanced slightly. I felt I was performing better today. Hence, I decided to re-record it. The result is an improved version. I have been fine-tuning this piece for quite some time, adjusting production aspects, such as the drum and tabla sounds. It holds great significance for me.”

He continued, “Everything I experienced is intertwined with my journey. When I stood on the set of ‘Kal Ho Naa Ho’, I realized I should live my life as if ‘Kal Ho Naa Ho’ were happening. I began practicing yoga and delved into numerous books, including the autobiography of a Yogi, which was one of my early influences in yoga and spirituality.”

“Reflecting on my past, I recall my childhood, youth, and entire career. If I could meet my younger self, I would advise him to let the story unfold naturally. This song and this narrative are gifts to the people who have cherished me, who have always wished well for me. It’s a present for them, and for me as well, as it's my birthday. This is the first time I am releasing a song on my birthday. I am eager to see where my journey leads, without any complaints,” he concluded.
