MUMBAI: Singer Papon, who chose to spend his 50th birthday this year entirely absorbed in his music rather than taking time off, said he doesn’t feel the need for a break when he can mark the day doing what he loves.
Speaking about working through his birthday, Papon said, “Music has always been my biggest celebration. I don’t feel the need to take a break on my birthday when I get to spend the day doing what I love.”
Fresh off the success of his Sham-E-Mehfil 2025 tour, Papon is currently in the final stages of completing the album, which brings together fresh poetry, soulful compositions, and the signature depth he’s known for.
He added: “This new ghazal album is very close to my heart, and the energy of the shows keeps me inspired. Of course, I’ll steal a little time to be with my family too—because they’re my grounding force. But for me, creating music is the best gift I can give myself and my listeners.”
