Hiyalo Kath: I tried to write a song for a farewell party while I was in the 12th standard, and even performed it...though it was an embarrassing one (smiles),however, it did inspire me to continue with my passion.
I have my own style of writing since I'm not trained in this area...Usually, I write when an idea or a concept strikes me but sometimes I look for inspiration too...Firstly, the main theme is penned, composed and arranged(rhyming words) and the rest comes later on...
Well, I like the way Dream theatre write songs...it's just makes you wanna be them..
Divine connection...of course...it’s my genre of choice and they are the best and most creative musicians in Nagaland.
Song writing for sure...I don't really fancy performing and being on stage much....I prefer to sit back and weave lines
