 New Delhi : New York-based composer Wayne Sharpe, who has scored the background music for the movie 'Lahore', has credited maestro A R Rahman with opening his ears towards Indian music.
"I have been listening to Indian music for many years and I was influenced while I was in America. I was a big fan of AR Rahman and his first music score that I heard was 'Taal' which really influenced me and changed things for me," said Sharpe. Beginning his Bollywood association with Prakash Jha's 'Gangaajal', Sharpe has collaborated with Indian singers and musicians and that has changed his attitude towards music.
"I love Ustad Sultan Khan as I have worked with him in 'Gangaajal'. I had the opportunity of working with Sonu Nigam and Sunidhi Chauhan as well. There are excellent artists in India who have affected my approach towards music," he said.
