“I’m very happy that this industry has gradually taken its rightful position.
“It is quite remarkable that the sector is such a bankable industry.

“Now, even parents are advising their kids to go into music. They now understand that music is a business.
“It is a multi-billion dollar business that you can’t even joke with,’’ he said.
