Irish pop sensation Ronan Keating visited India for the first time when he was a mere 17-year-old. Boyzone had done their debut show in India back in the ‘90s.
“I was a young kid from Dublin who had never travelled before. All the colours, the smells, and the energy was so exciting. It opened our eyes to the world,” shares the musician.
The last time I was here was at a music awards in 2005. I still remember the costumes, the choreography, the energy of Bollywood. It was magnificent,” Keating shares.
His solo debut was with the song ‘When You Say Nothing At All’ for the film Notting Hill. The single went to number one in the UK and paved the way for his debut solo album.
Back then, an artist would walk into a room and announce how many albums he sold. Today, artists announce how many followers they have on social media.
“It’s been a tough year, personally. I lost my brother this year. For me, pouring myself into the songs is integral to the writing process. It’s therapeutic,” he shares.
