..low vibe
But Jay is doing some awesome stuff.. And competing is kinda hard lol
| Q40: | "Do slow jams help you cleanse your thought process? " |
Definitely... I grew up on Western Music... Learning to play the flute, sax, trumpet, clarinet and more... So RnB music has bee..
..n huge for me
I didnt even pick up the dhol till I was almost 16
So when you get into your zone, your thought process and writing always come out better
| Q41: | "Really? That's amazing... so if you weren't playing the dhol, which instrument holds the key to your heart? " |
| Q43: | "have you ever thought of putting down your flute track to one of your mixes? " |
Yeah, on a lot of my last album (Identity).. You hear small licks here and there
Once in Toronto I actually put the dhol down during the middle of the show, and played flute on top of dholki!
Exciting?... I think so ;) lol
| Q44: | "I wish I could of seen that! When will your next album be out?" |
The next album is entitled "Me, Myself, and Pree" and should be out the end of Feb... Aaja Aaja is the next single so we are go..
..nna push that
The response has been really good so far... So Im def excited about it
| Q46: | "It has been really good, but what was that one message you posted on your fb that was so hateful?" |
Oh by Bikramjit ..lol .. I remembered his name
| Q47: | "It has been really good, but what was that one message you posted on your fb that was so hateful?" |
Umm god knows... I get a ton of messages everyday, and a lot are great that just show mad love
| Q50: | "For people (like myself) trying to play dhol what sort of practice schedule would you recommend?" |
| Q53: | "Pree, with the advice you gave me for people learning how to play dhol, were you self taught as well? " |
Yes miss.... I learned on my own... (even if you have heard otherwise cough cough) haha
| Q54: | "Oh who would spread those nasty rumors ;) haha " |
Haha beats me
| Q55: | "What's your primary theme for your next album? " |
Its just me coming out and using my creativity ... Showing myself, and what I love to do
A lot of music is just garbage right now, and I think we have to all step out of the box and make something new and fresh
| Q56: | "Who will be featured on the album? Do you plan to bring back Mandeep Sethi?" |
Right now, its just fully me.... Honestly Im kinda tired of getting a stamp from other people....
Im writing most of it, producing all of it, and singing all of it
| Q57: | "I think it would be better (no offense to the other artists) you kept it all to yourself... the title alone do.." |
| Q58: | "..es that theory justice" |
Exactly.. Im soo tired of these "producers" who are just getting production out from India and calling it production
Lets step up our game!
| Q59: | "If you were to write a book about your frustrations with the scene... what would you call it? " |
| Q60: | "Cause I know you got a lot of frustrations! I see at least 12 chapters! haha" |
Lol
Of Mice and Pree
| Q61: | "LOL! " |
| Q63: | "Can it get worse before it gets better? or do you think the scene has hit rock bottom?" |
Its already rock bottom.... For sure... And I guess new artists like me are kinda trying to play the role of Superman
| Q64: | "The scene I witnessed in the UK is it's established, amazing talents but mismanagement " |
We have to fight to bring it back up...and for that , we need new rules in the game.. Because being desi.. we know how clean th..
..e business is
Exactly
| Q65: | "Speaking of the UK Mr. Mayall... you aiming for an AMA or two? or three? haha" |
Lol , lets see if they give me a chance... But yes...
Ive gotten a ton of support from people all over the world just messaging to let me know they have nominated me
Just knowing that is a blessing
| Q66: | "Your fans have to vote you in right? " |
Yeah... get on there.. and put my name for best everything.. lol
| Q67: | "For those who don't know, tell everyone how they can do that... " |
Too bad they dont have a Best Turban section
| Q68: | "Oh you would win by a landslide, Manj couldn't compete! haha" |
Its simple... Hit theukama.com and click vote on the right side... Put your nominations in for each category
LOL! .. Sheeit, thats what I told Manj too lol
| Q69: | "Do you know when the final list for the AMAs will be out? " |
Jay Sean might have his cute thing, but Im going to the turban kill lol
Im not too sure... But soon!
| Q70: | "I think your only competition for the turban would be snoop! " |
| Q72: | "Jay Sean has that pout... maybe for your album cover you can work on pouting your pretty little lips! haha" |
Hahaha.. Im not too sure if the grls would want to see all that
| Q73: | "We can save that for the pirated CD cover " |
LOL!
| Q74: | "On that note, what's your take on piracy music?" |
Honestly... I say whatever it takes... I think if we like an artists we will buy it but honestly the way music is coming right ..
..now in the scene i say pirate away
| Q75: | "So you don't mind if your music gets pirated as long as people are listening? " |
As long as credit is given and your listening, I dont really mind it... Because the people who want to buy the album to support..
.., will do so... I can just hope that they buy mine ... U know?
| Q76: | "Of course, at the end of the day you just want back a little cash flow " |
| Q77: | "I know you will be working on some music in india, but will you be coming back as a married man? " |
LOL.. NO! ... my music is taking a happier turn, lets keep it that way =]
| Q78: | "LOL that's great Pree, I'm looking forward to seeing "Life of a Dholi" return!! " |
| Q79: | "I know you better get back to packing and I will get the interview up on the UDR blog " |
| Q80: | "It was great touching base with you and hearing what you're up to! " |
