01:46 it being a German citizen?

01:48 Wow, so I actually discovered Indian music itself at first in the US and I was so, I

01:56 felt so awestruck by that that I had to research as soon as I got back home.

02:02 And yeah, then I found Bollywood songs at first and tried to learn some couple of phrases

02:09 and words in Hindi to actually get the language and pronunciation right because I wanted to

02:14 sing along to the songs.

02:16 And yeah, I listened to many songs and then I dared to, I finally dared to sing them on

02:23 social media also and gained some recognition.

02:27 Wow, that's the hunger for learning Cassandra.

02:31 That's fascinating.

02:46 Yeah, or Aapki Nazroome Samja.

02:50 Yeah, so it's really hard to sing these kind of songs, but they have so much emotion involved.
