The “Free Your Mind” hitmaker said:

“I never let it pass by my cautious thoughts that I am always so grateful and honoured to be a part of this family and to be born in this family so when I collect awards like this and learn about everything that they’ve done, it is inspirational not just for me alone for but everybody else that is a beneficiary of all the accomplishments that they’ve had”

Speaking on the influence both parents had on his career, he said:

“They are the sole initiator of my love for music. Seeing my dad perform four times a week at the shrine, watching him compose music, watching him take it to the studio.

I was lucky to be a part of the entire process of some of his projects. When you see all these as a child with so much consistency it puts you in awe and that can either push you in the direction of loving that craft or being afraid of that craft”.
