Zitat des Tages von Yo Yo Honey Singh:
If an offer comes my way, I would love to sing in every Indian language. It will be like an ode to my fans from every corner of the country.
I had to work on my own to establish myself.
I love my mother the most in the world. She has seen a lot of poverty and loneliness and is very simple. Whenever I am in trouble, I go far away from her, as she is not at all strong. If I see her breaking, I break.
Writing songs, making music, and singing is important to me, and I do all three.
I don't understand why people are going mad about the lyrics I write? Do they expect everyone to become Mirza Ghalib?
I am not interested to sing in Bollywood. I sing for only those actors whom I admire. I sing free of cost for them. I want to take independent music ahead, and my songs are completely based on my observations.
For a Punjabi singer to find acceptance down South is a tall task. I'm glad I earned their love and respect.
I need to focus on other things before I carry on in Bollywood. I can't be doing what I've done in 'Lungi Dance' and now the song 'Party With Bhootnath' with Bachchan over and over again. I've to reinvent myself for Bollywood.
I think acting is the most difficult one among all the performing arts.
I am not anyone's brother, and I only have one younger sister. I don't consider my counterpart rappers as my brothers.
I always maintained I'm a good simple boy from Punjab. Some chose not to believe me. Now the same people are happy to work with me.
It's never easy for me to say goodbye. I get attached to people very quickly, and with 'Raw Stars,' my connection is even more special. I'm in love with their music and perhaps their biggest fan. I think every artiste on the show is mind-blowing.
I didn't have any singing background. Against the wishes of my parents, I got into making music.
I was looking online; many singers have sung songs for the elections, but I am not doing anything like that.
I am overwhelmed with all the love, affection, and warmth that I have been receiving for 'Dheere Dheere.' It is one of my most special works, and I am glad that so many million hearts have taken to it in such a manner.
The guy I played in 'The Xpose' is more like a spoiled brat who likes to have his way than a villain. No more negative roles after 'The Xpose' for me. I've enough problems dealing with the negative image I've been saddled with in some sections.
When I was child, I saw the 'Ram Leela' performed on stage. Now there is the film 'Ram Leela,' and its maker actually wanted me to do a song for Akshay Kumar in 'Gabbar.' Akshay was one of the first Bollywood A-listers to believe in me. We jelled before we jammed together.
My playground as a musician is growing.
It was very difficult acting. I feel it is a very tough job to portray someone else's character and to behave like that on screen.
I was never seen with one girl in a video, right? My videos always had many girls.
My dream is to take the Indian independent music scene to an international level. People like Alisha Chinai, Baba Sehgal and Daler Mehndi took it to a very high level. My ultimate target is to win a Grammy. I don't want to primarily be a Bollywood playback singer.
I compose for very limited people in Bollywood, as I am not a playback artist. I compose my songs and sing them.
There are many politicians who are from the Congress or the BJP or the Aam Aadmi Party who are all my friends and who are all young politicians between the ages of 27 and 35.
Have you driven a Rolls-Royce? There is a difference between a Rolls-Royce and a Nano.
We want to take boxing to the level of cricket.
I got a lot of support from the entire industry, stars like Akshay Kumar. A. R. Rahman told me to keep doing the good work and not get bogged down by anything.
The truth is I was suffering from bipolar disorder. It went on for 18 months, during which I changed four doctors, the medication wasn't working on me, and crazy things were happening.
We celebrate Valentine Day, but no one remembers Bhagat Singh birth anniversary.
I am excited to partner with American Swan and to be able to connect with the youth and inspire them to chase their dreams and script their destinies.
I believe an artiste is a reflection of society. I write what I see. I am not a scholar, I am just an entertainer. I cannot change the way people think.
After I did 'Lungi Dance' with Shah Rukh, I felt I had achieved everything there is to achieve. But then I am getting to work with Amitabh Bachchan now. And it's really the ultimate Bollywood experience for me. It really can't get any better for me.
I am glad that my fan believed in me and stood by me in my hard times and continued to enjoy my songs. That's the real victory for me.
In 2011, I released my first album called 'International Villager.' I had no support, and whatever money I had made, I put it all in the album. I shot the music video for 'Brown Rang' with one lakh dollars. I spent so much money, as I just wanted to put it up on YouTube, as I knew that my market was there, and it became a huge hit.
I never wanted to be a performer, I never wanted to be Yo Yo Honey Singh, the rock star.
My family didn't want me to be a musician, and therefore, they never helped out in my efforts.
My songs are based on my keen observation. I have picked these situations from my surrounding and have presented a real situation about the youth and their mindset.
