Jay Sean, tu pe pa le TEST paske c le BEST

hahahaha
dsl les filles mais vous avez de la concurrence in UK

How did you both hook up with Rishi Rich?

Jay: A demo of mine fell into his hands and he called me up and asked me to come to the studio to meet him. That was about 2 years ago now.

Juggy: A friend who knew Rishi said he was looking for a Punjabi singer to feature on his tune Nahin Jeena, so I went down to his studio and auditioned for him.

There's great chemistry between the two of you, had it been some other way would you still force yourselves to work together just because Dance With You was such a hit?

Jay: Well from day one we always knew we were solo artists because that's what we wanted to be and what our management 2point9 always stressed to us as well. Basically to launch solo careers for the both of us off the back of a single which featured both of us. Plus the fact we sing in different languages means that we're actually in totally different arenas as artists although we can feature on the same record.

Juggy: Yeah, I definitely had to be forced to work with Jay [laughs].

Your live act has quite some variations to the actual songs, is it something spontaneous or rehearsed. Also, tell us what a Rishi Rich Project live act is like.

Jay: It's very up-tempo. There is a lot of spontaneity involved and basically we just try and have a good time. I think it helps the fact that we flip between Punjabi tunes, RnB tunes, hip hop and a blend of the both. It's a real mixed bag of genres which I think helps to keep people interested.

Jay, you mention in your song, Me against Myself, that you've done well because the Indian thing was the place to be. Do you actually think that's the reason for your success?

Jay: Well I hope it's not all because of that, but yeah, its definitely helped. The current interest from the mainstream in Asian culture has built a platform for people like me and Raghav in the Western industry and we just have to try.

Who is Kamaljit?

Jay: Me. My real name is Kamaljit Jhooti

Where do you enjoy playing the most?

Juggy: Dubai, of course.

Eyes On You has your granddad in it and the video doesn't look like a usual R'n'B video. Do you think you'll ever have to bow down to pressure from the label to make a video which looks like usual one?

Jay: No. We just try and go with what we feel suits the song but it isn't totally what people will expect. That's one thing where my label is very good at as they understand the importance of videos I hope that doesn't change.

Stolen has a tune from an old Hindi song. Not that it's a new thing but I'm talking about picking up pieces and making a picture. Aren't you trying to cash in on each other's success?

Jay: Not at all. With regards to using a classic sample, I always try to write the song around what the sample is actually saying. The relevance between my English lyrics and the Hindi sample has to make sense so in that respect I hope I'm not being disrespectful to the original.

If you're asking me whether I think I'm hijacking someone else's piece of art then I say to you, listen to the song I've written, Acapella, without the sample in it and see if it holds up on its own as a piece of work. I personally think as songs in their own right, they do, but I can't speak for everyone of course. Try remixing them, that's usually the acid test for a well written song.
