MUMBAI : Rapper Badshah, who has made his radio jockeying debut with RED FM’s new show Naam Badshah, says he has always been very determined and stubborn about what he wants in his life.
“There isn’t any ground breaking incident that changed my life around really,” Badshah told IANS here while sharing some of his life experiences that motivated him to reach his goal.
“I have always been a very determined and stubborn person about what I want. So while my parents wanted me to study and follow conventional career paths, I truly wanted to pursue music as a career. So I did both. I studied hard and completed my engineering. And I also pursued music that was my passion,” he added.

So is being a radio jockey a difficult job?
“This is a very exciting new chapter in my life. I have always said and maintained that I think being an RJ is the most difficult job in the media business. To have that energy and animation in your voice alone, to capture your audiences through your show, is entertainment in the true sense,” said Badshah, who has given chartbusters like Saturday Saturday, Chull, DJ waley babu and Abhi toh party shuru hui hai.
Talking about the rap culture in Bollywood music industry, he says it has become a very integral part of the mainstream Indian music scene.
