“We are nothing unusual, we do not sing about Death, graves or blood. We are experimental only up to the mark of positivity. We believe in beauty, happiness and talent. Our songs are beautiful with amazing lyrics, great motif lines and an element of Rock, adoptable by every one. We have kept balance among innovation, saleability and originality of our thoughts.”- Musafir to NDTV
India is full of diversities, and we know that. Our music is versatile, basically Rock, but with flavors of Punk, Lounge, and Bollywood. All a band need to have is a good approach and a talented crew, to fit in any genre, and an appetite to play good music.- Musafir to CNEB

Some selective appearances
Ashutosh, on his energy level while performing: ”I’d do anything. I’d damn run across the audience in the stadium, to fix the microphone on the last man in the last row, to make him sing along with me. I’ve climbed lighting gears, I’ve jumped from the 8-10 ft elevated stages, I’ve laid down my guitar and picked a Dhol; singing for continuous 4 hrs nearly kills you, that’s crazy, but that’s what I like, bringing smile on their faces.”
