Temsu Clover: Every gig that I performed in till now is all cherished because I got to learn a lot of things and also experienced moments I always wanted to. Every memory that comes along with them is deeply treasured. And I believe there is still more to come.
But if I were to choose a moment from the past, then it would be a gig I recently performed in. It was in Imphal called the ‘Wildernest Festival’. The setting and the crowd were amazing. I was tensed at first but I remember just getting lost, swaying to my music along with the crowd.
Eastern Mirror: Any upcoming activities for the year 2021?
Temsu Clover: Yes! I have so many plans lined up, with new songs and shoots. But this pandemic has slowed down everybody’s lives. Nevertheless, I am grateful to God for the people around me are still breathing.
