Sheldons brother, who played bass guitar for Gary Lawyer, Remo, Alisha Chinoi, Mantra and Krysys, has however, remained his biggest influence to date. For Sheldon, music is a tool to express emotions and desires, and to bring out the artist from within. Music has kept me alive and I enjoy what I do especially when Im on stage, I get a kick out of huge crowds and the whole vibe when performing in front of an audience that reciprocates to your sound, he says. He sees music as a medium to help him connect with the outside world and to make people relate to his songs. Its a bridge between reality, and an imaginary world that I create through my lyrics that gives me a sense of satisfaction. I want to be seen as a versatile musician who thrives on the power of music. I am trying to pursue my dream to create a place for myself on the international and Bollywood circuit. Until then Im just singing along and making my life a happier place,
