“I would like to wish my friend Paul on his well-deserved win at the 58th Grammy Awards, and would like to thank him, Wouter and Ciro for making me a part of their beautiful projects.

“After winning the Grammy award last year, I feel thrilled and humbled to have been part of a Grammy award-winning album and two Grammy-nominated albums this year,” Ricky told PTI.

Ricky said he was also an integral part of two more albums that were nominated for the 2016 Grammy Awards – Wouter Kellermans’ ‘Love Language’ and Ciro Hurtados’ ‘Ayahuasca Dreams’ for the Latin Grammys.

On December 1 last year, Ricky hogged international headlines after Prime Minister Narendra Modi and French President Francois Hollande launched Kej’s music album ‘Shanti Samsara’ at the Paris Climate Change conference.

The music album ‘Shanti Samsara’ features Sanskrit verses with spoken word by Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan, Hollywood actress Frances Fisher and BAFTA award-winner Rosanna Arquette.

In 2015, Ricky had bagged the Grammy for his new age album “Winds of Samsara.”
