For singer-composer Rahul Vaidya, music is “a way of life” and his safe haven. As he celebrates World Music Day, Rahul tells us that he is delighted that his one-year-old daughter is drawn to music.

Talking about Navya, who he shares with wife, actor Disha Parmar, the 37-year-old says, “Navya also sings. Whenever I’m doing riyaz, she comes to watch. She’s inclined towards music.”

Rahul, who recently dropped a new track called Jisne Daru Nahi Pi, adds fondly, “She enjoys music, even if she doesn’t understand what’s happening. She sings with me a lot.”

However, he doesn't wish to dedicate one day to music, as his life revolves around it all the time.

"For me, music isn't something I celebrate only on one particular day—it's a part of who I am every single day. But yes, on World Music Day, I do try to make it a little special by spending some quiet time in the studio. Music is a way of life. Listening to it and singing are an integral part of my routine and lifestyle. It's also a great stress buster. I believe everyone should have music as a part of their daily life," he shares.

Talking about his own journey with music, the artiste acknowledges that there have been some bumps in the road since he debuted on a music reality show Indian Idol in 2004. Now, he’s more at peace: “At this time in my life, music is something that gives me peace and satisfaction. It’s become a meditative process.”

“For me, music is a part of who I am, an integral part of my routine and lifestyle,” Rahul notes, before signing off, “I believe music should be a part of every single person’s daily life, too.”
