Though the band’s talent and effort are much applauded, Shoghi admitted that one challenge was that much of Guyana’s population seem fixated on Soca, Chutney and Dancehall. Currently, he sees the band’s only way of making it in the music business is to get signed by an overseas-based recording label.
Shoghi is also a songwriter and has written more than 15 songs to date some of which he’s currently working on for another project, as they are not the genres the band would rock. But he has two other songs for the band which were posted on their SoundCloud page – “Drunken Haze” and “What Have You Become”.
Shoghi’s three to six hours a day practice has over time decreased to one to three hours a day. Practice, he admonished, is the key to perfecting one’s talent. The artiste further encouraged those following the musical path to expand their genre library, to experiment with different instruments and to only write music they know they would listen to.
Currently he’s not pursuing any studies but is quite intrigued by psychology and may pursue a degree in this later, though this is still uncertain. However, he is sure that a decade from now he will be having the time of his life being successful in music with a handsome number of followers who appreciate his music.
One thing he has always been intrigued by he admits is how Jesus walked on water. He said he will just have to meet him to find out.
In his downtime, Shoghi likes to play other instruments, write lyrics, research alien anomalies, the simulation theory and food recipes. He enjoys watching movies and football and backs his favourite team Liverpool Football Club from England. When asked what his favourite dishes are, (and he said he can cook them) he listed lasagna, barbecue chicken, creamy shrimp linguine, seafood salad, garden salad, grilled chicken breasts and chicken in black bean sauce.
