Prime Minister Narendra Modi last week met Bengaluru-based artist Ricky Kej and congratulated him on his second Grammy win. “Your passion and enthusiasm towards music keep getting even stronger,” NaMo said in a tweet.
Ricky won his second Grammy on April 4 for Best New Age Album for his album Divine Tides. He won his first Grammy in 2015 for his album Winds of Samsara in the Best New Age Album category.
Kej also expressed his gratitude towards PM as he wrote on Twitter, "Hon'ble Prime Minister @Narendramodi ji, I will never forget our meeting 7yrs ago, when I won 1st Grammy. You put me on a path of positive social impact through music. Today was blessed again by you on winning a 2nd Grammy for India. I dedicate to #AzadikaAmritMahotsav #IndiaAt75.”
Ricky Kej had earlier credited Modi with setting him on the path of environmental consciousness. “You set me on the path of environmental consciousness 7 years ago when I won my 1st Grammy Award,” said Kej in a tweet. He was responding to a congratulatory tweet from PM Modi.
According to its official website, Divine Tides is a nine-song album, which aims to give out the message that “each individual life plays a crucial role in maintaining the balance that serves all equally.”
