Shin Eastern Eye

You have had an amazing and long musical journey; what is keeping the passion alive?
I thank god every day for giving me a career that has never been like a job for me. I have loved singing for as long as I can remember and still do to this day. Singing and performing are my drugs of choice. I am as high as a kite when I’m on stage, and that’s what keeps the fire of passion blazing to this day.

Do you remember the first time you took to stage?
In 1981, I entered a Mohammed Rafi song competition and performed for the first time in front of a full house. I remember the adrenaline was flowing and when I heard the applause and appreciation of the crowd, I decided then and there that I was going to make singing my career. That day DCS was born.
