New Delhi April 14 (IANS) Singer Gary Lawyer says he has consciously refrained from the world of Bollywood.
"I ve consciously refrained from the world of Bollywood. I ve got no exposure to that genre and hence I ve not gotten into it. I ve been asked before but I m purely a Western singer " Lawyer told IANS.
Lawyer has made a name for himself with rock music. On Sunday he will play the sixties song in a stage show at the National Centre for the Performing Arts in Mumbai.
Lawyer says it is a "show that I ve wanted to do for several years".
How do you think the industry has changed over the years?
"As far as western music is concerned it still hasn t managed to get that much attention in India. We re a large English speaking country but there aren t so many places to play western music.
"Classical music has received a huge boost because of the NCPA; it is a wonderful institution. As far as other music is concerned it should have got a lot more exposure. There simply isn t enough infrastructure to support the talent this country has in Western Music " he said.
