Namita Nayyar:
You are on the judging panel of The Stage, How was your experience being on the show.
Monica Dogra:
There was no show like the stage. It changed the game! I’m very proud of the work we did on that show. I feel we uncovered some of the greatest talents hiding in India. I loved The Stage. It also happened to me at a bit of a low point in my life – so it gave me this beautiful portal to step into where nothing mattered but the music every day for a few months while we were shooting. It was bliss.
Namita Nayyar:
What do you think has been the selling point for your music? Also your personal favourite genre of music
Monica Dogra:
I really can’t assess myself in that way to be honest. I guess what thing I have going for me is that I am quite diverse. I’ve evolved. I’ve become something new often enough to surprise people and still be remembered for what came before.
Namita Nayyar:
Who are your favourite music icons and your inspiration both from Bollywood and from around the world
Monica Dogra:
I have been deeply inspired by Ani Difranco as well as Bjork and Fiona Apple. Women with long careers who were self-made and completely original.
