<p>Music producer and composer, Prasad Sashte, has been closely connected to music since childhood. He began his music career from ‘Devdas’ as an assistant programmer with Monty Sharma.<br />Metrolife had a chat with Prasad about his musical journey and his other interests.</p>.<p class="Question"><strong>How did your music career start?</strong></p>.<p>Music has been a part of my life from the time I remember. Growing up in a musical family had its impacts on me. I was very young when my father got me a Casio. The constant encouragement at home kept me going. I started off with small shows back in hometown. My music career took off when I started working under Monty Sharma. Since then,<br />there has been no looking back.</p>.<p class="Question"><strong>Who is your inspiration?</strong></p>.<p>I learnt a lot when I was working with Monty Sharma. The guy knows western classical music the best. Every project is an inspiration.</p>.<p class="Question"><strong>Who is your </strong><strong>favourite</strong><strong> singer?</strong></p>.<p>Lata Mangeshkar and Kishore Kumar are my all time favourites. Of recent times, I like Papon, KK, Sunidhi Chauhan, Shreya Ghoshal among many others. All of them have their own style of singing, and that is what I like the most.</p>.<p class="Question"><strong>Do you like </strong><strong>travelling</strong><strong>? Which is your </strong><strong>favourite</strong><strong> tourist spots?</strong></p>.<p>I like travelling. But I do not have the luxury of ‘free time’; I end up working even on weekends. In fact, whenever I complete a project, I go on a 3-4 day trip with my family to relax. Manali and Munnar are my favourites. You can literally drive through the clouds in Munnar; that’s the best thing about that place.</p>.<p class="Question">Tell us about your upcoming projects.</p>.<p>I have a lot of things lined up at present. I’m doing the background score of ‘Namaste England’, which is set to release this October. My recent projects include ‘Paltan’ and ‘Mulk’.</p>.<p class="Question"><strong>Are you a foodie?</strong></p>.<p>Yes! I love eating. Hailing from Maharashtra, I love all the festive delicacies. Bengali food is my favourite. I like crabs, but I’m mostly a fish person.</p>.<p class="Question"><strong>Your relationship with Bengaluru...</strong></p>.<p>Bengaluru is a beautiful city with kind people. I often visit Bengaluru as many of my relatives live in the city. But I’m here for work most of the times. I recently came down with my family to Bengaluru, and we went on a drive to Coorg. Coorg is another place I would like to visit again.</p>.<p class="Question"><strong>Do you read books? What genres do you prefer reading?</strong></p>.<p>I’m not much into English novels. Maharashtrian literature is rich, and this is true of any language. I usually prefer the horror genre.</p>.<p class="Question"><strong>Who is your </strong><strong>favourite</strong><strong> actor? Do you prefer movies over books?</strong></p>.<p>Shah Rukh Khan is my favourite. I like him because everybody likes him (laughs). I prefer both books and films, but films help me visualise the book.</p>
