Shankar Mahadevan said that Breathless Song gave him recognition. Shankar said that music connects with the soul. We must move with change. Mahadevan told that he has sung songs in 10 languages. Sung more South songs than Hindi. I am seen more as a composer and singer.
Shankar said that he wants to give the mantra of Invest in Knowledge to the youngsters. Work with restraint. One day the switch above turns on. Whatever work you do, do it immersed.
He said that in today’s times one becomes a star overnight but being an overnight star does not mean that your music is very good. Become an overnight star but only constant approach takes you forward. Identity is created only by your work for thirty-forty years.
Don’t lose originality…that’s your identity.
Shankar Mahadevan said that invest in knowledge. Learn from every person. Learn every musical form. Don’t lose your originality. Originality is your identity.
Padmashree Shankar Mahadevan said that there is a way to do remix. If it is remixed well then its meaning becomes different. But the manner should be good. He told that he has been running the world’s largest music academy for fifteen years. There are music academies in 90 countries. Said that the music of the Marathi film has been launched. Shankar Mahadevan said that we are travellers, we perform everywhere. Told that he has been composing for 30 years.
