For Indians around the world, your success brings a sense of pride. Has your connection to India, its music and its culture, evolved over the years?

It’s definitely evolved over the years. I grew up with less knowledge of it and over the years, going to visit, getting to know my family, I have more knowledge of it now. I think it’s very sweet that people feel a sense of pride because of my nationality. And I’m excited to come to India and sort of feel that kinship with the audience. I hope that we have a good time, you know. It’s very interesting to me and it’s also just an interesting thing about me personally – my background and my history, and my family history and all that – it’s a bit of an interesting family story, so for me it’s going to be fun to be in India.
