Anyone who loves
his/her work is an artist. You have to be able to pour your heart and soul into
what you do and find yourself there.
I was at Kerala
rocks a few days back and talking to a few bands there. I remember telling
Abhijit (Guitarist- Heretic), that he should really find himself at the centre
of whichever musical genre he creates. That is the true calling of art.
Bob Marley found
himself in the middle of his brand of reggae, Elvis found himself in Rock’ n
roll, Led Zepp, Queen, Dire Straits etc all found themselves in something that
I can’t even classify into genres!
It really doesn’t
matter what kind of music, art or career you want to pursue. Just remember that
you are what breathes life and individuality into it.
God knows that this
world needs much more artists, much less mass production and a consumer that
himself is discerning and appreciative. Then the aphorism of “work is worship”
would ring truer to my ears.
