Throughout my career I've never worried about who will be singing my song on the screen.

I was about 17 when I began my career.

Mentoring is an interesting job.

My father, Aparesh Lahiri, was a musician too, and at a very young age, I was geared up for a career in music.

When you have a lot of construction going on, it sends a message of vitality that builds up consumer confidence. It gets people to spend money when they see that energy, that things are happening.

I've seen 'Absentia,' which was amazing. I loved 'Absentia.' I loved that for no money, he was able to make a movie about something that you never saw. You never saw the bad guys. That was amazing to me. You never saw what you were supposed to be afraid of; you just knew you were supposed to be afraid of it. It was a phenomenal movie.

I have a passion for the music - not because of I wanna be in the lights or the money, but it's because it's my life. It's my heart.

If you would be just as content winning a local Golden Gloves fight as you would making a pile of money as a professional, then fine, go become a boxer. But if the whole idea is for you to get rich, my God, stay in school and learn a profession.
