2.How are the Beatboxing scenes now in Mumbai? Your views?
Beatboxing scenes have been on a constant rise ..the likes of skilled beatboxers are increasing by the day…and the skill levels I have witnessed in the past two years is easily much much higher than compared to when I started.
3.How did you start beatboxing? 
I started beatboxing when I used to be a rapper before and I used to spit in beats in between my words. Gradually people kept coming and complimenting the beats more than my verses so I picked up the art and back in 2008 i was doing it considerably well.
The real push came in 2009..when an onstage incident changed my view of the art completely.

6. Where did u beatbox recently? How was the experience? 
I beatboxed at THHM Cypher Vol 2. And it was kickass . All the community was out there doing their stuff and people gotta see for the first time how much talent we got out here . Honestly when Virat Pawar was organising this..I did not have much faith in it being a success but it was a fantastic event..expecting a lot from the next volume of Thane Hip Hop Movement
7. One msg u would like to give to people about Hip Hop?
Hiphop is a medium of expression of art and how you folks appreciate a violinist or a cellist playing on the TV , this too is an amalgamation of arts that require equal amount of skill and hardship . A lot of people like “A list” are using this as a medium for launching anti-oppressionist movements. Its a treasure trove if explored with an open mind. Hurrah.
