>>Sarah: And I just can’t believe when I
looked into the audience like

0:02

I couldn’t see a space of ground there’s
like heads, heads, heads, heads.

0:05

I was like whoa.

>>Matharoo Bros: Last year we got the
chance to play with Aishwarya and

0:17

the other two headliners so for us it’s great
to, you know, get that avenue out there

0:21

to meet these you know up-and-coming stars,  

0:23

and it helps us grow as well as artists.

0:25

And you know the collaboration between
East and West is always great.

0:28

So it gives us a chance to do something
that would be typically impossible.

>>Sarah: I just find it so fun to practice  
intuition, you know,

0:56

audience interaction and you guys have
such cool

0:59

screens on the side 
with people tweeting.  

1:01

So there’s so much, you know, involvement
with the audience in the crowd

1:03

so it just gets musicians like me
hyped up on stage. 

1:06

So it’s –it’s unbelievable and incredible.

>>Harish: I mean it was awesome I mean this is my first time 

1:38

I’m performing in Canada.

1:39

I mean I just got here six weeks back — six
months back

1:42

so this…I mean out of the world…
I’m feeling yeah.  

1:46

I mean I didn’t — I didn’t know that we 
have a such a huge platform out here.

>>Sonia: Working with MonstrARTity has
been amazing.

2:10

They’re super upbeat,
they’re really enthusiastic,

2:13

they’re such hard workers and so
detail-oriented.

2:15

Honestly, 
this festival is being run

2:18

amazingly.

2:19

>>Nick: They’re very quick at communicating,

2:21

very understanding, 
and they’re on top of their game.

2:24

As an artist,
that’s what you want, right,

2:27

is when you have so many people coming
in, everyone wants their own time,

2:30

but they’re able to designate your 
own space.

2:32

Whether it be for sound check,
whether it be for your set times

2:35

they’re very professional
which is what I love the most.  

2:38

>>Univox 1: So we had everything we
could possibly dream of to…to be helped.

2:44

>>Univox 2: It’s very organized.
It was very, very organized.

>>Haviah: So for me, the ability to work
amongst

3:07

South Asian artists, be invited to perform
at a South Asian festival,

3:10

the largest one in Canada might I add,

3:12

it’s super, super, super incredible to…

3:15

to fit in, uh to be…

3:18

accepted into, for people to 
be excited for what it is that I have to say.

>>Brandon: It was kind of a shock at first,

4:20

singing Hindi is rather uh…
difficult.

4:23

There are a lot of intricacies that I was not
prepared for.

4:28

>>Greg: The structures are really
unique and uh…   

4:31

there’s a lot of Eastern influence that’s

4:33

much different
than the background that I have

4:35

in that there’ll be like an extra bar,
there’ll be extra beats.

4:38

Sonically there’s a lot of Eastern stuff

4:40

which is much different than a lot of the
music that I normally play.

4:43

>>Lindsay: For me the joy is always
networking with other great musicians like

4:46

the rest of the the BMM orchestra team.
