INTERVIEW OF SONU NIGAM
When did you really start ?
I have been performing on stage since March 1977. It's been 22 years now since I have been singing. I was three years old when I started singing. Three years! isn't that kind of unbelievable? I know it is, but then a fact is a fact. In my dad's group there was a small guy who used to sing. His name was Danny. When I used to see him sing I felt like singing myself. I was a crazy kid. Once I just rushed on to the stage when the show was on and began singing. The place was Jai Hind college and the song was 'Kya Hua Tera Vaada'. If your dad was not driven by the fire to make it, tell us how did the son have it in him to push hard against all odds? Because I always saw my father deprived of the credit he deserved. It's not his fault. He has a lot of self-pride, but I was always the edgy kind who wanted more. In his own way dad helped me go up the ladder, because in me he saw his unaccomplished dream come true. " I would have emerged a Pop singer with the right muscles, the right lip sync, and the right western accent."
