The forty seven year old singer Richard Marx who in his second visit to India was quite amazed to know about Indian crowd’s frenzy for his music.

 

The excited singer stated, "I'm really looking forward to performing here and having some fun. I'll be playing my popular songs. We don't have too much time since this show will be shorter than the one I usually do, but it will be high on energy."

 

Richard came to India three years back for a certain occasion in Mumbai but only come to know then that the people over here are really crazy about his music. “I have been touring around the world for many years, but the reason I didn't come to India is that I never thought people knew about my music here. But I was so wrong. I'm very happy to be here. Last time I was in India for a private event around three years back, just for a day. That time I met many people and I realized that people know my music here.”

 

He know only popular figures of India as he is quite a stranger to this place, Richard stated, “I really know very little about India and the music. But I'm certainly aware of some of the Indian music that got attention in the US… like Cheb Mami, and of course the great music from Slumdog Millionaire. I am pretty much a stranger here and don't know much about the country and the artists here. It's like people here don't know about many famous American artists simply because they haven't been popularised here. Similarly we only know about those Indians who are popular there.”

 

This year’s performance in India left Richard blown by the amazing crowd's response and thinking of making his tour again here and to have insight upon our rich culture.
