Singing has been my interest that led me to try something or the other and share the same on the social media platforms in sites like Instagram. My singing style was liked by many that developed a good fan following on the social media sites. With good response, I soon decided to come out with my first musical video song – Galiyon Mein. In YouTube alone, I was able to get more than one million views that prompted me to keep trying more things in singing. This made me come out with my second song.”

I always knew I wanted to be a businessman because I had all the qualities that are required for it. Music is my heart. It’s always been a part of me and hence I never thought that I’d grow up to be a musician. I always knew my business would be my source of bread and butter, while music would be my passion and companion for life. I never imagined myself having a band or performing at shows and charging a fee for it.”

- In an interview, Lakshay shared how he manages to save time for music while handling business and keeping a work-life balance. He said,
I believe my business has enabled me to value my music more. I feel whenever you have something in excess, you don’t value it as much. For instance, my business keeps me so occupied that I crave to hit the studio and record something. This has enabled better time management and I make sure I spend some musical hours every day.”
