I kind of feel like I'm performing in front of a bunch of family. It's like showing to, but it's been a long time since I've been here. It does feel like I've come home so thank you very much for inviting me and having me here to perform for you today. Just to clarify my name is Parvyn, but that's okay. You don't know me so well, so it's fine. My dad is a musician and like uncle Bakshi, is the, I guess there are some traits of business or whatever your lineage is that carries [00:00:43 inaudible], so music is definitely something that I found that is my way of expressing myself and the way that I can give to community and to be part of a greater community and represent Sikhs in the wider community. So it's been a long time since I've performed in front of so many Sikhs. It's actually a room full of Sikhs. I suppose most rooms are. They might just not know that they are Sikhs yet.

So I've been doing, anyone is wondering what magic I have here. This is a loop pedal and I suppose with every industry, technology is definitely a part of making it more and you have to embrace technology in no matter what industry you are. So I think the artistic and the creative industry is something that is at the forefront of that and definitely uses that. It also allows me, I'm used to performing on a stage, The Bombay Royale has eleven people on stage and so I don't have eleven people with me today, but I had this device that I can record my voice and I could be saying anything. I could just be talking and then I can say anything and I can just play it over and it can just turn into this chaos and it will be like [Speaking punjabi] and it can just be going on and on and it can just be going on layers and layers. It crazy well [00:07:16 inaudible] And then it kind of turns of what the bar side sounds like on a Sunday right? Most good whereas at least so that's what this is. That's the loop pedal. And then I also have this keyboard. Let's see if it works.

[Music]

It also doesn't always work the way you want it to, technology. I'll try that again.

[Music] [Singing] [Clapping]

Thank you very much. [Speaking Punjabi] [00:13:48 inaudible]

Okay. So I'd say it's definitely a new project doing all of these sorts of things and so I'm very grateful for the opportunity to try it out.

[Music] [Singing]

Do I seem like I've holding back from you I couldn't help it. Don't want to mess with the love that we have but hiding is over. All this time we played a game not knowing what it will become. Back to you I keep on coming falling deeper than I wanted. [Singing] Are you my love? Are you my love? Are you my love? Can we have a conversation what you want for real. Let me know the motivation tell me what you feel. We've been circling around and around now knowing something is you that we found now. We've been waiting to talk now for way too long. Can we [00:17:22 inaudible] myself daydreaming you. God knows what I am thinking but I hope you feel it my love.
