'I wanted to learn to play the dhol because every time I heard it at a wedding I just couldn鈥檛 stop dancing and I thought that I鈥檇 like to give other people that pleasure too'

How I came to this music:

Well my whole family is musical. My dad sings and plays a lot of different instruments, my mum used to sing when she was young, my sister also sings Indian songs and my little sister, she鈥檚 into her dancing. Plus I鈥檝e got an older brother who plays the tabla and was a deejay for a little while. I grew up as the only one with no musical talent. So I thought, right, I鈥檓 going to put an end to it now and I really want to learn to play an instrument and my favourite was the dhol because every time I heard it at a wedding I just couldn鈥檛 stop dancing and I thought that I鈥檇 like to give other people that pleasure too.
