>>Ankita: Hi guys, this is Ankita Music
and you guys are watching MAD.

[Music]

>>All: [shouting] Monster World.
>>Male Band Member 1: Woo!
0:12
[Singing in another language]
0:48
>>Male Band Member 2: We wanted to engage the crowd
0:49
by having a little bit of East,
0:50
a little bit of the West.
0:52
We mashed it up, we brought it down slow,
we took it up fast.
0:55
We try to bring the old, the new
and then some of the Western in
0:59
to actually collaborate with the crowd.
1:01
We as performers,
we love all styles of music,
1:04
but we got to make sure the crowd is
listening to us
1:06
and they want to engage with us.
1:07
So we saw everyone bumping, we saw
everyone actually moving their feet
1:10
and that’s what got us going.
1:12
And Ankita chose an amazing
list of songs to make sure that happens.
1:15
>>Ankita: Our musicians were amazing,
like they made a really good job…
1:17
>>Male Band Member 1: All of them were amazing.
1:18
>>Ankit: All of them were amazing.

>>Ankita: I’m a dentist.
But then I took a 360 degree turn.
1:41
I wanted to follow my passion
and here I am singing.
1:44
This is the first year I am performing.
1:45
I’ve been watching BollwoodMonster
Mashup for last 5 years.
1:48
It’s been 5 years since I’m in Canada.
1:50
I was looking at BollywoodMonster
Mashup, I was kind of um…
1:53
fantasize.
I really wanted to participate there,
1:55
so I went up to the crew and told them
I really wanted to participate
1:58
and that’s how they told me that
this is the application process
2:00
and then you can apply as an artist.
2:01
And I applied.
2:03
[Music]
2:25
>>Ankita: There’s no shortcut to
2:27
any profession, right.
2:28
You need to work really hard.
2:29
As a musician, marketing and um
2:32
like promoting yourself as an artist
is really important,
2:34
besides working hard towards
singing and all.
2:37
So we had a hybrid performance today.
2:38
I think we’ve seen live singing
with live musicians
2:41
a lot of times,
but we have not seen live singing with
2:44
live DJ, and the whole pair playing
together all of like — so we used a kind of
2:47
hybrid performance today.
2:48
We had all the B Punjabi numbers.
2:51
[Music]
3:19
>>Ankita: I’m from India and uh
3:21
I’m from Rajasthan.
3:22
Back home also it’s like multi-cultural,
we have
3:24
so many religions out there,
but when I came here
3:26
it’s also like Mississauga also multi-cultural life.
3:29
So it feels amazing to be a part of
3:31
BollywoodMonster Mashup which brings
up all the different cultures together
3:34
and bring up artists from different culture, and they are performing there.
3:36
So it’s a wonderful experience.
