"Not many people know but I'm totally into music. I love different genres of music especially Indie music and spend about two hours everyday online browsing and downloading new tracks, " says Acquin Pais. The model explains that music is something that calms and soothes him and can totally help one de-stress and forget all worries. "My favourite artistes include The Smiths, Pink Floyd, The Killers, Kings Of Leon and
David Bowie.
When I was living in England for about four years, I used to hang around areas where they played a lot of Indie music. I would also try and catch all the major music festivals in the UK. I'm very fond of rock since I'm from Bangalore and have grown up with lots of rock and roll," adds Acquin. Talking about experimental bands, he says that there's a band Sigur Ros from Iceland which he enjoys listening to. They try different techniques and record all their tracks in an empty swimming pool so that each instrument echoes in the wall of the pool. "Closer home, I do try and catch live shows from time to time like those by Tough On Tobacco, Ankur Tewari and Sid Couto. When I was in school and college, I used to be a drummer in a band and can even play some basic guitar. Music is something that will always be a part of my life," he ends.
