00:00 and I had no friends and then changes happened in my life when I started playing football.
00:06 Then I got the right confidence to express myself, my body and everything.
00:11 And then music happened. Boom, I'm a rockstar.
00:15 Hi, I'm Nick and I'm joined by King for the latest in NME's In Conversation series.
00:26 How's it going today?
00:27 It's going amazing. I'm excited for everything.
00:30 How long have you been in London for?
00:32 I'm here for four more days maybe and I was here for a week. Yeah, it's super busy.
00:39 Is it all been work or has there been time to do fun stuff?
00:42 Yeah, I'm here mainly for working but I'm just roaming around and
00:48 you know watching everything and noticing, taking notes.
00:51 So next time I'm coming here I'm definitely going to have fun.
00:54 What made you want to call the new album New Life? What's the concept behind it?
00:58 Actually, I created this album, a few of tracks from this album,
01:03 four years back when I came out of this reality show called MTV Asil.
01:07 And at that time I thought this is the new life that I'm entering in.
01:12 But after four years and then the COVID happened and I released two more albums and it blew up.
01:19 And now I realize after releasing my last album that this is the new life.
01:24 It's just the decision that I made and yeah, sonically and in every aspect,
01:31 personally, professionally, everything now this is the new life and I want people to understand that
01:36 if a Delhi boy, you know, coming from the streets can make it then I think anybody can do it.
01:46 So that's the goal behind this album.
01:48 And you've been working on it for four years you say?
01:51 Yeah, after that show yes, I've been working four years day and night.
01:55 So yeah, I'm just releasing projects, albums after albums.
02:00 So yeah, it's going to be my third album I guess, yes.
02:03 How is this album different from the previous two would you say?
02:06 This album is different on every aspect, visually, creatively,
02:14 lyrically as well and definitely musically, sonically.
02:18 We have blended so many sounds into this and we took care of this thing if we'd like,
02:26 I never wanted to clash two different sounds.
02:30 So I've studied in this four year what sound, what western sound sounds like,
02:35 you know, what Indian sounds like and try to find a midway.
02:39 How does your songwriting process tend to work?
02:41 Do you tend to start with a beat or would you start with lyrics?
02:44 Can it start in any kind of way?
02:46 Initially I used to go with the lyrics only,
02:50 but then I got introduced into free beats and music and then I started writing with the beat.
03:00 So now I personally prefer beat first, music first because I see, for me,
03:07 I have a quote for this that lyrics is the body and music is the soul.
03:13 So I listen to the soul first then I create the body, so that's how I like it nowadays.
03:19 You're someone who makes voice memos when an idea comes into your head.
03:22 I think everybody, every artist does this and it's a great way to remember
03:26 because there's so many things in our minds, you know,
03:31 so it's better to record something if something comes up in your mind.
03:34 So yeah, so you don't forget things.
03:36 What's the story you're trying to tell with this album?
03:38 What would you say the main themes are on there?
03:42 So while I was doing this album, there's one fact about India that we are so diverse
03:49 and we have many cultures, many feelings, you know.
03:52 So I took care of this thing that whatever track I'm writing,
03:58 it should be 100% of that feel.
04:00 It shouldn't mix with the other one.
04:02 That's the one thing and also to make people understand that
04:07 Indian sound could blend with any sound in this world.
04:10 And yeah, that was the whole goal behind it and I think, yeah, it's gonna work well.
04:17 Why was Crown the right song to launch this album era with?
04:20 Why was that the best kind of first song out of the blocks?
04:23 Yeah, so Crown, if you talk about Crown, so I don't consider Crown as a song.
04:31 It's a musical piece for me.
04:33 It's just a presentation.
04:34 So I'm very keen about all these things to present my artistry, you know,
04:40 and everybody, you know, come up with a cover art, an album art, like this, my album is coming.
04:46 I don't like this way, you know.
04:48 I like to create my own ways.
04:51 When I know that I have right resources, right people with me,
04:53 so why not a full musical piece that presents an album?
04:58 So that was a musical piece which presents an album and tracklist.
05:03 So that's how I came up with this idea.
05:04 We shot for like 18 hours straight and yeah, it's all worth it.
05:07 Also, I made that video just to let people know that this is going to be out of the box.
05:19 Nobody has ever done an introduction like that, you know, in India.
05:24 So that was my idea.
05:26 It was now about nobody has ever done it.
05:29 I'm going to be the first.
05:29 I'm going to be that.
05:30 No, I'm going to be me.
05:32 That was the whole goal.
05:34 And this time, why I say this is the new life,
05:36 because now I have all the right people, right resources, right passion
05:40 and to create something out of the box.
05:44 So yeah, this is the new life.
05:45 Yeah, what kind of people do you like to surround yourself with?
05:48 How do you pick collaborators and, you know, I guess, managers, people like that?
05:53 So if you talk about the people around me, not artists,
05:56 then I like to be surrounded myself with passionate people,
06:01 ambitious people who are workaholic.
06:04 And that's unusual for an artist because most of them like always like doing parties and stuff,
06:11 you know, and which is great.
06:14 But I feel like I don't have right now at this moment,
06:17 I don't have time to go out there and party and to celebrate my success.
06:22 It's not that I'm a slave of my music.
06:25 It's just how I like it, because I'm not going to be 27 again.
06:30 So this is my time.
06:32 So I want to put 100 percent.
06:33 And I'm blessed by the God that I have a great team.
06:37 And everybody comes on board with my team, my blueprint.
06:41 And they work so hard.
06:43 Every new guy, they learn new things from the OGs like I have my manager,
06:48 Shweta Oja and Bhavyan.
06:50 So they learn from them.
06:51 And yeah, that's how we work.
06:53 So we are right now, we all are so workaholic.
06:56 As you know, my schedule has just started.
06:58 Yeah.
06:58 So that's how I keep myself nowadays.
07:03 And collaboratively, I feel like I'm open to anything, whatever sounds great.
07:08 There is no language barrier for me.
07:11 There's no musical barrier for me.
07:13 There's no genre barrier for me.
07:14 Nothing.
07:15 It's just artistry.
07:17 Because for me, artistry is just a blank paper and a pen.
07:22 I would say it's almost free, a pen and a paper.
07:25 But it could be priceless.
07:26 Who have you collaborated with on the album?
07:29 Oh, I've got some surprises.
07:31 I want to break.
07:32 Yes.
07:32 I have Julia Michaels.
07:35 Wow.
07:35 She's an amazing songwriter.
07:36 Yes, sir.
07:37 And Gucci Mane.
07:39 Wow.
07:39 Yes.
07:41 So how did each of those collaborations come about?
07:44 Did you reach out to them or was it the other way around?
07:46 For Julia Michaels, yeah, we reached out to them.
07:49 And they really love the tracks and everything.
07:52 Julia Michaels is in Runaway.
07:55 And We Are The Ones is Gucci Mane.
07:59 Wow.
08:00 Yeah.
08:00 So we made all the tracks.
08:02 And then we sat and discussed what kind of feel is going with Gucci and Julia.
08:08 So that's how we reached out.
08:09 What was the vibe you were going for with Runaway?
08:12 It's my retirement song.
08:15 The track is all about I'm going somewhere.
08:18 You don't have to track me.
08:20 You don't have to ask questions.
08:22 I've done enough in this life.
08:24 And now I'm going.
08:24 I don't know where I'm going.
08:26 Just don't follow me now.
08:28 You don't have to get inspired by me.
08:30 You don't have to learn something from me.
08:32 I'm just going to live my life the way I do.
08:34 Maybe I'm going to be a cook after this.
08:38 And whatever.
08:40 Maybe a carpenter.
08:41 Who knows?
08:42 So that's my retirement song.
08:44 Also, when you listen to that track, it gives you a relaxing feel.
08:48 I mean, retirement is equal to relaxing, right?
08:50 So yeah.
08:52 Keeping all the bullshit aside in life and just relax.
08:56 That's what that track is all about.
08:58 This thing.
08:58 Relaxing.
08:59 So that's how I came up with this idea.
09:01 And when we were creating that track, Runaway, me and Dave, who produced this track.
09:07 He's a great producer.
09:08 And we all fell sick.
09:11 At that day, we were in Bombay.
09:13 And he was like, "Bro, what's the vibe today?"
09:17 "Bro, the vibe is ill.
09:18 I'm not feeling fine.
09:20 So let's just create something that doesn't take too much time."
09:23 So we created that track in about an hour.
09:28 Wow.
09:28 Yeah.
09:29 We were relaxing.
09:31 And sick.
09:31 [LAUGHS]
09:34 Yeah.
09:35 You need to go to the studio sick more often, maybe.
09:37 If it was that quick and not that long.
09:39 Yeah.
09:39 Easy.
09:40 That's going to be the particular genre I'm hitting.
09:42 Yeah, definitely.
09:42 I'm going to be like 104 degrees Celsius fever, you know?
09:48 Dropping bangers.
09:50 [LAUGHS]
09:51 He's laughing.
09:51 [LAUGHS]
09:55 What was with the Gucci main track?
09:56 What's the vibe of that?
09:58 Like what kind of sound were you going for on that one?
10:01 I don't know.
10:02 I feel like it's just magic that happened.
10:04 And I love his voice.
10:07 The way he enters in the verse.
10:09 And while I was doing that track-- so yeah, again, I was in studio.
10:13 And Dave asked me, what's the vibe?
10:15 And I was like, bro, imagine monsters are having a party.
10:19 [LAUGHS]
10:19 That's my vibe.
10:20 And I told him other things too, which I cannot tell right now.
10:23 [LAUGHS]
10:25 So it's going to be purely rage.
10:27 So and I told him that I want a drop, which is never heard before, which doesn't have
10:34 any specific pattern, it should be chaotic.
10:38 So that's how we come up with this idea.
10:40 And then he was like, bro, how about Gucci, this track?
10:43 I was like, bro, yes.
10:46 [LAUGHS]
10:47 Then we come up with this idea.
10:48 And then we reached out to Gucci.
10:49 And he really liked this track.
10:52 And yes, it happened.
10:54 Wow.
10:55 I think I'm blessed enough.
10:56 In every case, Julia Michaels, Gucci main, Nick Jonas, I'm blessed enough.
11:02 Nick Jonas, I'm blessed.
11:05 Well, yeah, that's a big collaboration that people have already heard.
11:08 Yeah.
11:09 What made you think of Nick Jonas?
11:10 Because it's not necessarily the most obvious choice.
11:13 It's a funny story.
11:14 So I was doing my India tour last year.
11:17 And I was about to get on the stage.
11:20 Then I got a call from Jai Mehta, who's the MD, Warner MD India.
11:23 And he's like a big brother to me.
11:25 And he called me up.
11:26 And he rarely calls me.
11:27 [LAUGHS]
11:28 We always talk on text.
11:29 So he's a busy person.
11:31 So he called me.
11:31 And he was like, yo, I have this idea.
11:34 How about Nick Jonas on "Maan Meini Jaan"?
11:35 I didn't even give it a thought.
11:38 Like for a second, I was like, yes.
11:40 Hell yes.
11:40 Because back in 2016, I used to roam in scooter in the streets of Delhi.
11:46 And I used to tell my friend, bro, I love his "Bacon" track.
11:51 [LAUGHS]
11:52 Yeah.
11:53 So I used to listen "Bacon" on repeat.
11:55 And I used to think, like, bro, how is it going to be if I get a chance to collaborate with Nick Jonas?
12:01 How is it going to be?
12:01 And my homie was like, bro, you're going to nail it.
12:04 You're going to do it.
12:06 It will happen.
12:07 Trust me.
12:08 So when that call came, and I was like, yes.
12:12 I'm in.
12:14 And the best part is I'm going to give some credits to-- definitely some credits to Priyanka Chopra,
12:20 who did a great job, who I think it's--
12:25 I think the kind of work he did in "Man Mirja," Nick Jonas, is really amazing.
12:32 And you won't believe it's just two takes.
12:36 First, he sent me a draft, a demo.
12:38 And there was a few lines which are not going well.
12:43 And I told them that these are not going well.
12:45 And the second take, that was the final take.
12:48 So that's how I'm giving credits to Priyanka Chopra for this.
12:52 [LAUGHS]
12:53 Yeah.
12:54 So that's how it happened.
12:55 It just happened like this.
12:56 We're about to meet.
12:58 We're about to shoot the video together.
13:00 But then this thing happened.
13:02 I felt sick.
13:03 And then after that, he felt sick.
13:04 [LAUGHS]
13:06 And I was like, OK, let's just shoot it in green screen.
13:08 Yeah.
13:09 But it was amazing.
13:10 Did he take the feedback well after the first day?
13:13 Did he--
13:13 Yeah.
13:14 He didn't sulk or anything?
13:16 Yes.
13:16 And he's a great artist.
13:17 That's where I realized that he's a great artist.
13:20 When somebody is open for ideas, any artist, and despite of thinking that who they are
13:28 and at what level they are, and if they are open for the ideas, I think it's a blessing.
13:34 So I think he did the right thing.
13:36 And he inspired me in that case.
13:38 No matter how big you get, you should always open for the new ideas, for the new artists.
13:43 So that's what I learned.
13:45 I've got to say, I've interviewed him and his brothers.
13:48 And they're probably some of the most polite pop stars I've ever met.
13:52 They have such good manners.
13:53 You won't believe, he texted me on Instagram.
13:56 And he was like, can you drop me your number?
13:58 I dropped him.
14:00 And I had just finished the Bangalore show at that time.
14:03 And next morning, I woke up having my breakfast.
14:07 And I sent him the number.
14:08 And he FaceTimed me.
14:09 I was like, yo.
14:10 [LAUGHS]
14:11 Like, what the fuck?
14:12 Wait a second.
14:14 And the next thing he did was, OK, talk to Priyanka.
14:17 [LAUGHS]
14:18 She was sitting right next to me.
14:20 And she was like-- and then we talked about all the non-Bollywood music and everything.
14:25 And she praised my music and everything.
14:29 Yeah, it felt really good.
14:31 Amazing.
14:32 Yeah.
14:32 I'm still, you know, kind of figuring it out, how it happened, what had happened.
14:38 It's like a dream to me.
14:39 So yeah.
14:39 [LAUGHS]
14:40 We spoke briefly about this earlier.
14:42 But your break was a reality show, MTV Hustle.
14:45 What was the show like, and what did you learn from doing it?
14:48 The first season that happened, I was a contestant there.
14:51 And it was a three-month preparation during the show.
14:57 And for me, as my back story, I faced a huge inferiority complex throughout my teenage.
15:05 So when that show happened, it helped me, you know, being an extrovert, you know,
15:13 express yourself and stuff.
15:15 And also, it helped my artistry.
15:17 Because every week, you have to create a new track and to perform it.
15:22 And the first time-- that was the first time I was facing a camera.
15:26 And that was the first stage I ever stepped on.
15:30 That was my first show.
15:31 And I was on a Pan India reality show.
15:37 Wow.
15:37 So that was-- this side, it was all pressure.
15:40 And this side, it was all artistry.
15:42 So somehow, I handled it.
15:45 So that was a great exercise.
15:46 I took it as an exercise.
15:48 And in the second season, I was the score judge there.
15:52 And yeah, so I told all the artists that it's a great exercise.
15:58 Don't take it as a competition.
15:59 Because I never took it as a competition.
16:02 You are an artist.
16:02 You can never win one fight.
16:04 You can never be number one.
16:05 It's a lot more there.
16:07 So just learn as much as you can.
16:10 Because there are 300 people working for you, for each artist, three months.
16:15 So it's a great exercise, great time to learn everything.
16:20 You have great mentors and the people behind the cameras working, the music directors and
16:25 everything.
16:26 So yeah, I think second season as a score judge was also an experience and a learning
16:33 how to motivate each and every artist when they come on stage.
16:39 I think that's the, as an artist, you go through a lot of, you know, this negative
16:43 thoughts that nobody supports me and everything.
16:45 But when you see someone who was a contestant in the first season and then now a score boss,
16:52 you set an example of a little bit of success, you know, that, okay, this guy made it.
16:58 If he's telling something that might make sense.
17:01 So that was the whole idea behind it.
17:03 And I was, and I always wanted to be a hype man for the artist.
17:08 So yeah, that was a great spot for me to be in.
17:10 I went, so yeah, I did my job.
17:11 You mentioned that as a teenager, you had a, you felt an inferiority complex.
17:16 Why did you feel that way?
17:17 Maybe I was too young to realize that in your teenage rejection is not a big thing.
17:26 You were just a kid, but I took it too serious.
17:28 I had no friends back then.
17:30 I was this emo guy, you know, sitting at home and thinking about world, how it's going
17:35 to look like.
17:36 So, yeah, and also there was, there was few things that I don't want to talk about some,
17:42 you know, skin color related to things.
17:46 So I don't want to talk about, but yeah, as a teenage, I faced all of it and I had no
17:51 friends and rejections and nobody gave me a chance to, you know, nobody gave me the right
17:58 motivation to speak up for myself and stuff.
18:01 Then I get into football.
18:05 I was a sports player.
18:06 So yeah, then changes happened in my life when I started playing football.
18:12 Then I got the right confidence to express myself, my body and everything.
18:16 And then music happened.
18:18 Boom, I'm a rock star.
18:20 When did music kind of take over from football?
18:24 Why did that happen?
18:26 Did you want to be a footballer originally?
18:27 Was that?
18:27 Oh yeah.
18:28 I so wanted to be a footballer back then.
18:30 I played for like four years, nationals and everything.
18:33 Wow.
18:33 Professionally.
18:34 It's still a question for my homies, like how can you become a rock star and you used
18:41 to play for, you used to be a football player?
18:44 And I still tell them I have no clue.
18:45 I have no clue.
18:47 I don't know, maybe I've been a good listener, good music listener.
18:52 I say from the age of five, I used to listen to Backstreet Boys and Vanga Boys and many
19:00 artists.
19:02 And then I grew up listening to other things, you know, Beyonce, Justin Timberlake, Timbaland,
19:10 Lil Wayne, so many artists.
19:12 So there was inside me, I feel like there was always inside me, music was always inside
19:18 me.
19:19 And then I got a chance to go on a mic and spit some bars.
19:22 Then yes, I think magic happened then.
19:26 I realized that, okay, this is something that I can pull off.
19:29 This is something that I should try.
19:31 Definitely.
19:32 And then this thought came in my mind that if not now, then when?
19:37 Then I think it happened.
19:40 Yeah.
19:40 And how long after that did you go on MTV Hustle?
19:43 Was that quite soon after?
19:45 Or was there a period in between when you were kind of?
19:47 Yeah.
19:48 So back in 2018, end of the winters, I was dropping tracks like every week, different
19:56 genres.
19:57 I was so aggressive about dropping tracks and I just wanted to do music, no matter how
20:02 much time it takes.
20:02 15 years, 20 years, even if I don't make it, maybe I used to think like that, even if I
20:09 don't make it, I'm not going to end something, my life with something that I always wanted
20:17 to do.
20:17 So that's how I was so aggressive back then.
20:22 And then I got a call from this reality show.
20:26 And then, yeah, 2019, from 2019, it's 2023.
20:29 It's four years now.
20:30 It's a very small span of time.
20:34 Yes.
20:35 It's just four years.
20:37 Wow.
20:37 What's been your proudest moment so far, would you say?
20:40 Proudest moment?
20:40 Yeah, in that four years.
20:41 Every moment that I live.
20:43 I'm a person who has spent all his life in Delhi, you know, the capital, and never went
20:51 outside and always used to think about how this world is going to look like.
20:56 Okay, London looks like this in pictures and videos.
20:59 Okay, now I'm getting a chance to go everywhere and express myself.
21:03 My English is very bad, but still.
21:07 No, it's not bad.
21:09 But every day, every day, when I wake up, every day is a new challenge and every day
21:13 is a blessing for me that I'm blessed enough to face this challenge.
21:18 So that's how I take it.
21:19 And from past four years, I'm just living my dream.
21:22 I'm still in a dream.
21:23 I don't want to wake up.
21:24 How do you see your purpose as a musician?
21:27 I won't say I want to set an example.
21:29 But I just want people to see me as a person who did whatever he wanted.
21:37 Yeah, I mean, that's the only purpose of my doing my music.
21:42 And also a person, I want people to see me as a person who never boxed himself.
21:48 And he was just an artist who wanted to do his stuff his way.
21:53 That's it.
21:54 No pressure, no nothing, no number ones, no number twos, nothing.
21:58 Just good music that can relate to people as the most relatable artist.
22:03 When did you reach the point where you realised that as an artist,
22:07 you can kind of do everything?
22:08 You can think outside the box?
22:09 Did you always know that?
22:10 Or did it take a while to get to that place?
22:13 So in these four years, I think this is the time when I realised that
22:18 I can do things out of the box.
22:20 Because as I told you, now I have right resources, right people around me.
22:26 And it's very important to have those things, you know.
22:28 So all of these years, I was just hustling for this moment.
22:31 Because all of the ideas, it was inside my brain like,
22:36 I guess, since a very long time.
22:39 But this is the right time to express it.
22:40 So you can say with this album,
22:42 New Life, and I'm not promoting, I'm legit telling you this thing.
22:46 With this album, I feel like I've done those things which was in my mind.
22:51 So yeah, this is the first time I'm going to go out of the box.
22:54 What's your plan for the rest of this year and going into 2024?
22:58 Is touring part of the...
22:59 Yes, the plans are like giving the biggest album, biggest single.
23:05 And I might sound cocky, but yeah.
23:07 And biggest India tour, definitely.
23:11 And a successful international tour.
23:15 That's how it's going to be.
23:16 And a lot of music next year, 2024.
23:21 I want to put a lot of music because it took me like eight months
23:25 continuously working on this album.
23:27 And I realized that I'm running out of songs.
23:30 As an artist, I don't feel right about it.
23:31 Because I used to be that person who used to drop tracks every week back then.
23:36 So I'm kind of missing my old self.
23:39 So now I'm going to bring it back next year.
23:41 Yeah, with 10x knowledge and everything.
23:45 So let's see what things I'm going to do next year.
23:48 So it's going to be a lot of music.
23:50 Do you like having a lot of songs ready to go,
23:52 like on your laptop or songs that are almost finished?
23:54 Does that feel kind of comforting?
23:55 Fun fact, as is "Maan Miri Jaan", if you talk about...
24:00 I wrote that track five years ago.
24:03 So I have those tracks also.
24:05 In this album also, I have a few tracks which I wrote like three years or five years ago.
24:10 And also the tracks which I wrote like on the spot.
24:14 So for the next year, I have a bank with me.
24:18 And purposely, I haven't created another bank.
24:22 Because I'm going to meet so many great producers now.
24:27 And as I told you before, the music gives me lyrics.
24:31 So I'm going to sit with new souls.
24:34 I'm going to listen to new souls.
24:35 And then I'm going to create new music.
24:37 So yeah, it's 50/50.
24:38 Is there anyone you really want to collaborate with?
24:41 Or do you not want to say it yet?
24:43 Do you not want to put it out there?
24:44 Is there anyone on the wish list that you can talk about?
24:47 The producer or the artist?
24:48 Both.
24:49 Both?
24:50 I think for this year, I'm done.
24:55 Like, Julia and Gucci was in my wish list.
24:58 And for the coming years, yes, I see Jack Harlow.
25:03 Wow.
25:04 I want to do something with Jack Harlow.
25:06 And two years back, I've created a track.
25:10 I wrote this track.
25:12 And I thought that it will look-- it will suit crazy, you know?
25:15 It will go crazy if Jack Harlow jumps on this track.
25:18 So two years back, I wrote something.
25:20 So it's the same as the bacon story.
25:22 So yeah, let's see how it's happening.
25:24 Yeah, so Jack Harlow and whatever comes in my destiny.
25:30 I feel like all of them are great.
25:32 And I'm a fan of all.
25:34 So yeah.
25:36 Would you like to work with Timbaland one day?
25:38 Because you said you listened to him growing up.
25:39 Yes.
25:42 Okay.
25:42 Yes.
25:46 Timbaland and Justin Timberlake.
25:48 Yes.
25:49 Put it out there in the universe.
25:50 Like, some will be listening.
25:53 Yeah.
25:54 Timbaland and Timberlake.
25:55 Yes, yes.
25:56 They are genius.
25:57 They are genius.
25:58 Even if not a song, just a picture would be enough.
26:03 And there's one more artist that I want to collaborate with.
26:08 But it totally depends on the destiny.
26:11 And his name is Sting.
26:14 Wow.
26:15 I'm a fan.
26:16 I'm a huge fan.
26:17 What do you like about Sting?
26:19 Everything he creates.
26:21 Everything.
26:22 He creates souls.
26:23 Every song of his, if you listen to that, every song is so different.
26:31 But at the same time, it's so familiar.
26:33 You know, and whenever I listen, Fragile from past three years.
26:39 It's my sleep song daily.
26:42 I cannot sleep without Fragile.
26:43 And I have my own video in my mind when I listen to Fragile.
26:47 So that's the best thing about Sting.
26:49 If you listen to him, you can create your own video.
26:51 You can create your own universe in your head.
26:55 So it gives me relief.
26:56 And the lyrics and everything, the music, it's so amazing.
27:00 I'm so inspired and I'm a huge fan.
27:03 Hopefully, you could bump into him while you're in London.
27:06 It could happen.
27:08 Damn.
27:09 Again, if not going to collab, one photo would be enough for life for me.
27:15 I'll just ask one last question.
27:18 It's slightly cheesy.
27:19 What do you want people to think when they hear the name King?
27:21 A guy who broke the barriers and live a life on his terms.
27:26 And a nice guy.
27:29 Oh, that's a good answer.
27:30 Well, yeah.
27:31 Thank you so much for your time.
27:32 It's been real fun.
27:33 Thank you so much.
27:33 Thank you.
